There was only 10K free on the disk, but I was able to use Apple E to eject it, and then load the patched Drive Setup off the other floppy and format the hard drive into two 2GB partitions! Thinking about it... I could have probably put the floppy in my powerbook 3400 and made it a shared drive and avoided the huge load of floppy swapping I just did, but I don't think it took much longer than it would have otherwise. I'm going to make sure to save this disk in two places.
