   Don't worry about it.  I knew it was a long shot, but I had to try anyway.

   I remember having a "games" floppy handy for that, just with the OS on it   
   and the nessecary config.sys and autoexec.bat .   IIRC at some time also   
   loading a mouse driver.  Never needed that for my normal usage of the   
   machine.

   Some great-great-great grandfather of mine did it the other way around:   
   Probably looking for work he left Germany and went here.    While on   
   vacation we found out that there was a small town in the Schwartswald area   
   that was full with the Wieser family name.   We'd like to think he came from   
   that area, though we were never sure.

   And as it looks like, in more ways than one. :-)
