What type of PC floppy should I look for? I think I have an older pc floppy laying around, but I don't think that one has any jumpers to set any ID...?

Thanks.



> I'm assuming it is a known formatted disk otherwise the answer would be obvious... format the disk and install the OS using EMXP.  For what it's worth, any pc floppy will work if you find out that the drive is bad.  You just need to change the ID to DS0 instead of DS1 (PC standard).
