Could you please mail us 2 floppies made this way?  Triple check to
make sure they have on them exactly what you think they do and then
just put them in US mail.  I greatly prefer physical floppies than a
floppy image because there's less to go wrong with physical floppies.

If we get these, I'll take a quick look.  Perhaps I can fix something
immediately, perhaps the fix will have to wait until later, but I'll
definitely look.
