    Got it, thanks!  It's still on the hard drive of my MessyDOS

very often.

It's a GSOS driver so you can only use it with 16 bit software not 8 bit. From GSOS you can boot some 8 bit software off a 1.6mb disk but if it has to access the floppy again then it can't find it. A lot of 8 bit software doesn't make it all the way through the boot process.
