I wouldn't even consider this unless the disks were identical.  (So far
I haven't investigated in detail, but the machines are part of a pile
of about two dozen all bought together that are at least supposed to be
all identical.)

A trifle off-topic for current-users, perhaps, but I'll save it in case
I have to resort to it.  It is NT, though, not 95, that I need to patch
up...so it may not work.  But I'll save it anyway, in case.

Thank you.  I'll poke around.
