   Ah ok.   
      
   Well TOS shows me A: and B:. When I click on B: it says something funny   
   like "Insert Disk A into Drive B" and just will show the content of   
   floppy drive A: afterwards. Does this indicate if this has a two-sided   
   floppy?

   Ah ok.   
      
   But which format should the games be in, so that i could copy them on disk?

   Ok, maybe it's broken but then I expect the system at least to do   
   anything else with the drive instead of not doing anything at all.   
      
   Guess the best option is that someone who knows how to do it just will   
   copy some games on disk for me. But these STX files do not seem to be   
   suitable for that purpose. Maybe I'd bring this computer to some meeting.   
      
   Thank you
