When Jim mentioned about the 8.3 filename, I had to copy the files to the hard drive and rename them. The problem is that the ide and scsi files are on the same directory. Once I had the files named right, the "rawrite" program wrote to the floppies. I think this is a major problem for anyone that has to make the floppies. Without DOS experience, one would not know what to do when nothing works.
