Hi Wayne, if you are using windows: run gbread.exe (found wherever you installed the gb s/w on your host computer not on gnatbox) and follow the instructions it gives to make an image of the boot floppy in the same directory as gbread.exe, just run it it will instruct you what to do. The only glitch it has is that it asks if you want to overwrite the file even if it doesn't exist.... You will end up with a 1440KB file which is the disk image. If you like you can do this everytime you make changes to your system so that you can restore after you break it next time ;) Then when you need to make a new floppy use gbwrite.exe and follow the instructions given... It'll guide you through.
