I think I did that?
I don't know if this is a current version and I have heard disparaging
remarks about the program but I had the floppy...
I was hoping a BIOS upgrade would do the trick (and I needed to do it
anyway) but it came up with the same errors.

Floppy drive here, one of the chores I need to do before I get that new
hard drive for the W2K 560x is to find or make a boot floppy that will
load the external PCMCIA drivers so I can install the OS.
Then I need to remember where I put the external CD drive.
