Wow, I actually got my name specifically mentioned in a question
post.... yipppeeee! Anyway, Larry there could be several things you
could try. First, your DOS disk may not be readable anymore... that
often happens these days on those classics. Second, alignment of the
boot disk drive may be out. Have you been able to get 'anything' to come
up on the screen? Any errors or anything.

Give me another reply, and let me know in more detail what you have
going on. If nothing else, I can get you a known good 8" floppy boot
diskf or the little bigger, and we'll give that a try.

Good luck, and get back to me,
