Today my contact at FMV sent some pictures of the S/280 and the disk he has in storage and that they will donate for free to me. The guy is extremely friendly and helpful and so is his boss. The world would be a much better place if people were like these guys and I owe them a big “thank you“! Will work out with FMV how to ship the equipment to me.
