cool.  i will go ahead and do that.  i only have boot floppys that are 5 1/4,
no 3 1/2 boot floppys and the problem is that i can't seem to format 3 1/2
floppys that are the second drive on the chain from the 5 1/4 (apple 2 gs, then
5 1/4 then 3 1/2, thats the only way i can boot since i dont' ahve 3 1/2 boot
floppys.)

so extracting the system 6.01 to covered hole floppys then booting to them,
then i should be able to make acutal formats from the apple 2 gs onto other 3
1/2 floppys??
