A) are there any copies of the original Descent (D1?) still lying around? 
If so, would anyone like to share?  I believe my original copy was on a 
512KB floppy, which I must have thrown out...

B) has anyone tried to run D1 on an XP machine?  D2 runs fine on my HP 
cheapie, but has some issues on my Dell dual-core machine.  I'm wondering if 
anyone else has worked with these old DOS games.

Did this ng just have a server problem?  I was trying to look for old posts 
and between yesterday and today, most of the posts (even new spams) have 
become "no longer available on this server..."
