Hello John,

Are these CF2 or CF-2DD? You'll want to make sure as the DD ones were used on the PCW. Also, are you sure they were used with an Amstrad machine?

In any case, I could help myself, though I'm in Greece. If you visit the forum at www.cpcwiki.eu I'm sure you'll find several people all over Europe that will be willing to help - we have salvaged quite a few disks in the past...

Regards
Themistocles
