- Ummm... I have a perfectly good System 7 boot disk in my drawer right
- now.
- It doesn't have a lot of room left on it, but it's just your average TDK
- MF-2HD floppy. Very useful when things are corrupted to the point that
- you
- can't boot off the old hard disk. I might add that this happens a *lot*
- less to me now under System 7 than under any previous system.
