I was wondering if it is possible to boot a 1.2M 5.25 inch floppy on
a PS/2 Model 70.  I need to be able to boot a Unix diskette.  My only
alternative would be to somehow copy the diskette to a 1.44M 3.5 inch
floppy, and then boot that.  Maybe a disk copy program could do a sector
by sector copy and just leave the additional 2 sectors/track on the 3.5 inch
floppy blank.  Does such a program exist, and would the resulting diskette
actually work??
