Subject: Re: Yay, now I need some Osborne boot media!
Now come to think, I do have both an original IBM PC
and an XT. The PC has
dual 5.25" drives, the XT a single 5.25 + HDD. One of those is bound to be
the correct h/w format, right? What we want here is 360K physical, right?
It still leaves a chicken-and-egg problem, as neither of those machines
have any outward connectivity,
------------
No serial or parallel ports? Definitely a 'must have' ;-)
... nor do I have any media with something like Laplink or an ISA NE2000
driver sitting around.

A null-modem cable is your medium... another 'must have' ;-)
