I have a program for the IBM version that will copy MINIX disks.  Written 
in MIX C, the program comes out to about 30K of .exe file.  When (if?) I
find out how to post it, anyone is welcome to it.  

I wrote it for a friend so we could swap bootable disks over the modem.

Any disk the BIOS can read, so can this program.  The default types are
360K, 1.2M, 720K, 1.44M
