I also described how I used a 40-track DD floppy drive in conjunction
with Windows XP and WinImage. Only now I'm wondering if I ever did
this at all, and if I'm not confusing this machine with an old Win '98
one at the back of the room.

If I get chance, I'll stick the ex-Amstrad PC1512 floppy in this
machine and see if it works.

My work PC motherboard that supports FM disks is an Asrock K7S41GX.
