I have a Toshiba T1100plus with one 3.5" floppy and a hard disk. I have the v1.2 5.25" floppies. How can I get them copied onto 3.5" disks so I can get up and running? MS-DOS Diskcopy refuses to copy the 5.25 to the 3.5 even if the 3.5s are formatted 40 track, 9 sector. Thanks for your help. C.R. Myers Bitnet: CRMACC@RITVAX

I copied Minix onto 3.5" floppies using Minix itself. Use the "at" version of the device (or mknod yourself one that will handle 720K) and use cp /dev/at0 /dev/at1 of course, with your hard disk and one floppy you'll need to add another step of cp'ing to a temporary file on the hard disk and back again. or make a filesystem and use cpdir or whatever (that will let you use the full disk.
