I second the thanks!
To a "hints" list I would add that I had some trouble finding a
"good"
floppy controller to use with it. After going through 3 Pentium and 2
486 motherboards with no luck, and the floppy controllers on two different
floppy/IDE cards, I finally tried the floppy controller on an Adaptec
1522 SCSI cards which works like a charm.
Most PC FDC's are limited in their ability to access formats not native
to the PC - This is not a limitation of the ImageDisk program, it is a
limitation of the FDC implemented on most PC's. I've heard from a
few people that the Adaptec cards work well. I've had good luck personally
with the FDCs on both of the Intel Mainboards that I have, as well as one
Aopen board (although all the other Aopen boards I've tried don't fare so
well).
