ALL images work correctly. I use them all the time to build machines. (I have 20+ machines.) All diskettes are labeled and all diskettes were post-tested on other machines, to verify working diskettes. I might have a doubt about one pair of disketes, maybe two (2) but not six (6) pairs. All on different brand diskettes. All download at different times. And all verified to be working after the fact. I'd be more than happy to reproduce the test, with diskettes and the machine, at any of the local BSD User Group club meetings. If requested, I could have the entire set available to the team in Walnut Creek. best regards, Jessem.
