Thanks Tommy, but that's not an option; I don't have access to a "real"
computer < 80386, hence wanting to use Bochs. However, I can (for the
interest and amusement of everyone reading, no doubt) confirm that it
works just fine on MS Virtual PC 2004... so I better go buy floppy disks
before they get abolished :)

Expect me to ask lots of dumb questions as I get underway with this
stuff.
