Nope, not a crook boot disk (not in my case anyway). The very same boot
disk worked fine on several other machines. I guess it could have been a
crook floppy drive, but it works OK to mount floppys when I've booted of
the HDD.

The reason I thought it may have something to do with 640B bugs, is I read
somewhere that the bug can manifest itself when simultaniously accessing
the FDD and HDD...
