Get this, it should allow you to do a 'raw' image copy of the floppy discs to your Windows PC, and copy it back out to another floppy, before using them. http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/rawwrite.htm I haven't used it for this purpose, but I know it does it... Unless it's an old 5.25" floppy? There are other utils for the PC that will do a raw copy, let me know if you need it... Marc
Technically, it is possible to copy the disks. There is a disk copy function in the 9100 software. The only catch is... unless you have a working system already running, you are going to have to use the disks to get the machine running in the first place and then the whole "marking the disks specifically for the machine" deal kicks in. Dave, know anybody with a working system that can dupe them for you before you use them?

Can you ask your friend in Holland if these can be duplicated for other 9100 owners? I have a working unit that I have never tried to figure out, but it would be nice to have backup setup discs.
If permitted, could you make disc images for distribution to the owners of 9100's?
