Yes, indeed - if Russ hasn't set you right already, I have some
machines with 5.25" floppy drives. One of them even booted MS-DOS 3.3
from a 1.2MB floppy a couple of weeks ago. ::-)

Access to the UCC may be a bit patchy over the Christmas break, but it
is doable, and it's a better place than most to play with these sorts
of things. <grin>
