Well, the image is done for 1.44MB floppy. Perhaps the geometry or
something was not right when copied to floppy in 2.88MB mode? Having
not used 2.88MB floppy before, I'm not particularily aware of
possible problems/incompatibilities. Perhaps someone else can comment?

This is good item for PS/2 FAQ, perhaps other people with 2.88MB
floppy would have similar problem.

Thanks, I already have another offer for a IBM SCSI Adapter card. I'd note
you as potential driver tester, though :)

This is strange. I'm using ep on my box as a primary network
controller for NFS root, it's working very well for me. In 10baseT
mode, tho.  What does ifconfig -a say after boot? Note the 'default
10baseX' message might be bogus, the value used is the one setup
in the configuration utility of Reference Disk.

This is just due to oversight in the driver - this model is not
matched. Oops. I'll fix this ASAP.
 
Model 95 is the one with LED display, right? I'd eventually like
to write some support code for this, and would need testers then
(I don't have model 9X PS/2 available) :)
