Well sorry, I missed the original post. Anyway, two more options that
were not mentioned in your summary:

1)	Use SoftPC which is a DOS emulator and (I think) alows use of
the internal floppy drive as a DOS disk

2)	Not using your internal drive. Depends if that was essential,
or you just want to read & write DOS disks.... If so, get a cheap PC
somewhere that has 3.5 and 5.25 drives, add an ethernet card, get some
software that lets you telnet, ftp, and lp and away you go. The actual
PC need not be that great, it is just a networked floppy. We have an
old 286 which is used for exactly that.
