Could you please mail us 2 floppies made this way? Triple check to
make sure they have on them exactly what you think they do and then
just put them in US mail. I greatly prefer physical floppies than a
floppy image because there's less to go wrong with physical floppies.
If we get these, I'll take a quick look. Perhaps I can fix something
immediately, perhaps the fix will have to wait until later, but I'll
definitely look.
