I'm not a floppy fan by any means, but I would like to be reasonably sure
that my HD controller was supported before agreeing to this, or at least
know that I could hobble along until I hacked up support for it.  

Speaking of which, my WD-chipset-controller/ST-225 is still not working,
I presume because I have to apply some device driver fixes posted to
the archive (any clues as to which one(s) would be *greatly* appreciated :-).

In the insult-to-injury department, my diskette 6 (FS source) appears
to be a copy of diskette 8.  Anybody know of a quick painless way to
get a replacement?
