HI, I downloaded the new floppies and tried to copy them to disk via dd on a sun4.1.3 system (same way as previously), and received: << Fri Jul 24 16:01:28 1998 >>> fd0: write failed (44 4 0) fd0: bad format And when I tried to start I received a read error. Yes, I did use bin to download , and the length is: 1474560 Jul 24 16:15 boot.flp same as on cdrom.
