I have no problems booting OS/2 from a floppy and reading the files on
my HPFS system. If you have problems then the file system need's to be
fsck'ed oops.. I mean chkdsk run on it, just place the disk 2 of the
OS/2 installation in the drive and run chkdsk /f. Now you will be able
to read it.
As for the DOS driver... I suppose.. stranger things have happened.
