It's an AlphaStation 200 4/166, which from what I've read should definitely
be supported. It's pretty standard, 24 MB RAM (2 4 MB & 2 8MB SIMMs),
floppy drive, the standard 8 MB ZLXp video card. It also has a PC card dard
in one of its ISA slots.

I hadn't checked the floppy against original but did try installing the
image again with the rawrite.exe.

I had done it using SoftPC (really old) on my Mac. I'll try transferring
them to my wife's "real" PC laptop & seeing if that produces a better
floppy.

Heh, I dunno, I don't have any bumper stickers, just colors ;-)

Thanks for any & all help,

Bikers don't *DO* taglines.
