[QUOTE="dhoggan, post: 1840051, member: 403743"] Hi Nick, I know what you're saying - floppies can degrade or fall out of alignment. I'm wondering if that is the case here as I'd have thought the CRC checking would have picked up disk reading issues (whether caused by the source drive not writing accurately or the destination drive not reading accurately). Also, I have written and read other disks in this setup with no issue.So, never say never, but it seems unlikely right now. Tackling the issue another way, I thought that the 19 part archive was basically one image per floppy, but - from what I've seen on the G5, it extracts to a mountable image containing three file - one of which is a 30+ MB install. So it looks like it is not one file per floppy. As this is really what I'm after to do a fresh install, do you know if such a thing exists? Or am I looking at OS installation on a SE all wrong? Oh, just Google SCSI2SD - lots around from varions source and the blog mentioned above also discusses a way to use them in a SE system. Thanks, Dave [/QUOTE]
