A few months ago I saw a program posted here that would mangle
the boot sector of a floppy to force a PC-1 or PC-2 without
updated ROMs to boot from a hard drive.  I swore I saved it,
but I can't find it now.  If someone (expecially the person
who posted it) could mail it to me, I'd be eternally grateful.
