If it's been good for your work, we have a testimonial page we just started that could use a few contribs. > I've downloaded the 1680 disk image, and it works great.

On Windows, you could use WinImage 6 to read in the 1680 diskette and then write it out to a 1440. It sounds like you could use a new floppy drive if it's having troubles with 1680 diskettes. Whatever works. > I've got Windows boxes available, but would prefer to learn to do this > on a Linux box. On linux there's fdformat to format the disk, mkdosfs puts the filsystem on there, and syslinux -s to make it bootable, then cp the files back to it, including the syslinux.cfg that you'll want to edit to be sure it refers to the correct devices, especially if your mixing 1680 and 1440. That's off the top of my head, as I use WinImage 6, so take it with a grain of salt.
