Don't be so sure about that. After I installed MacOS 9.1 on the box, I was
able to mount those floppies and take a look at them. But when I wanted to
write to them, within MacOS I just got an error message saying, that it won't
work. Cool, eh?
If you still have MacOS on your drive you can still go the BootX way, if you
want to get to some results quickly.

I think that Holger's links point at the latest floppies. But I bet, Holger
can tell more about that ;->
