Anyone have a Sharp floppy drive?

[Stewart Midwinter <midtoad@xxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone have an original Sharp floppy drive, the one that plugged
into the system bus on the back of the case?  If so, would you be
willing to run a test for me?

Please make up a boot diskette with format /s, and then transfer the DOS
3.3 boot files to it with sys f: (if f: is the floppy drive letter), and
then see if you can boot the PC3k with it in the floppy drive.  If you
can do this, then please proceed to step 2 which is, get a boot diskette
for DOS 5 (if you can't find one, I can send you one!) and see if you
can boot the PC3k with the DOS 5 boot diskette.

If this can be done, it will help to confirm whether we can hope to
install a version of Linux on the PC3k.

cheers,
