    Trouble Creating P70 Reference Diskette

    Trouble Creating P70 Reference Diskette

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to resurrect a P70 and I need to recreate the reference diskette. I downloaded the zip file from this site, installed the WinImage program and I always get either one or multiple "Disk error on track X, head 1, etc." Is there a trick to doing this? I'm using a Dell...
