Warren,

You must have just skimmed over my response to your question then. the
3.5 disk image I told you about COMPLETELY eliminates the need for
5.25 disks. I have downloaded that image, plus the rest of the 202
Alliance Collection, used a GS emulator on my Mac and ShrinkitGS to
turn the SDK images into regular 3.5 disk images. Then I used ADTPro
to transfer the disk images back to real 3.5 disks on my GS.

If you'd like I can snail mail you a copy of the 3.5 disk with
Choplifter, and several other DOS3.3 games, on it.
