My second guess would be an issue with the 2.88M drive reading a 1.44M floppy that was created in a 1.44M drive. I was going to try burning a 1.44M floppy in the 2.88M drive to see if it allowed the disk to boot without errors but I got local disk and network working before I got around to it. -- | Matthew N.
