floppyless machine and OS/2 CDs are not bootable (AFAICT), I'm going
to have to try to use a USB CD for that. I am not very confident it
will work.
Actually, you may well (I haven't tried it yet) be able to read Joyce
floppies with a USB drive, if you're using double-sided formatted
media as they're pretty much vanilla 9x512 byte sector formatted.
If anyone cares, I can try it and get back to the list.
