Subject: Re: Making disks from disk images

Hi all

Just a minor point, Jon says it relies on a 5.25" drive. Bear in mind
you can also do it with a 3.5" drive on a BBC too! Another major problem
is that some, especially newer PC's, cannot handle double density and
the program fdc I am told.

Sorry about giving you the bum address Jon
