Re: disk files too large to fit on floppy disks
Hello Zach,
Have you used rawrite or dd? The disk-files are disk-images, this means,
they should be copied bit by bit to a disk, and not by some tools which
use the file-system, which is on the disk.
By writing the raw images, they should fit absolutely exactly on one disk.
Regards,
Daniel
