Success!!!?? Up to a point.
I have it booting on a floppy.? I have confirmed that you can,
apparently, not make disk images with an external USB Floppy
drive.
I am going to go back now and retest a bunch of the floppy drives
and cables to see if there really is a problem or if it was just the
images.? Of course, this means my original floppy is bad so I
need to find another copy as I think the stuff I need to use the
GIDE was on there.? I read somewhere that there is a copy on
the CD.? I wonder where that might be?? :-)
In case anyone is interested, I have a handful of floppy emulators
that use USB sticks.? Gonna give them a try, too.? What they work
with seems to be a real crapshoot.
Oh yeah, once I have the hard disk working it will be time to try
8" disks, too.
All t his could be real fun.
