Re: [disklavier] formatting 2dd floppy disks under windows xp

2002-06-05 by Carol Beigel

I keep my old Toshiba laptop around for just this purpose.  It is so ancient 
it only has an 85 M hardrive and runs Windows 3.1.  But you need DOS for the 
DKV utilities and Giebler runs just fine on it.  You could probably get a 
machine like this to accessorize your DKV for about the price of a Pianosoft 
disk!
