Well, I that was my first thought also. The first one was quite an old disk, but it worked on this very same machine, in fact it was formatted (granted, a very long time ago) on this machine under 6.0. The other disk was brand-new, and it works on one of my other PCs, running 5.5-PRE. I know this whole thing is not a big deal, and I personally wouldn't be happier if the floppy disk went the way of the Dodo, but I guess it's a necessary evil.
