I have downloaded these files several times and created the boot disk several times but when I try to boot up my system (Hardware is all approved in the supported hardware section of your web site.) it just ignores the floppy and boots from the hard disk. I have tried this with a non-partitioned disk that has been low-level formatted and the system just hangs out. What am I doing wrong? I think I have followed your directions thouroughly but of no avail. Could you contact my at the following phone or e-mail?
