I have a small problem...
I have the Minix binaries on 5 1/4" floppies and need to transfer them to
3 1/2" floppies. That is the small problem.

The big problem is that I have a PC with a 5 1/4" floppy & hard drive and
I have no external 3 1/2 drive to hook up.  The only 3 1/2 drive I can get
near the PC is the internal drive in my portable PC.  I normally transfer
software via modem cable between the two machines.  (I can't hook either
drive into either machine.)   I am looking for an easy way to transfer the
bit image of the Minix boot floppy to the portable PC w/ the 3 1/2 drive.
Any suggestions?

Chances are, the binaries won't even run on my portable PC.... but, still...

(actually, I don't mind porting the
system if necessary, but I need to at least get the stuff on 3 1/2 disks...)
**famous last words, huh? ;)


Thanks in advance....
