I didn't get the time to do this in the end; things were a little too
busy. But - we at least have a way of making standard 1.44MB boot floppies
on the LS/120 drives, which we didn't before. Is this going to make it
onto the boot-floppies?
If we want to go the LS/120 route properly in the future, it should be
entirely possible to target on as a location for install, even. But I'm
not going to push that now... :-)
