Do tell us (me) more, Ed ... what OS does the PageWriter in question use? Can it format floppies (that is, straight from the PageWriter) ... and what diskette format does it expect (and, indeed, require)?

When I downloaded the files suggested earlier in the thread, and had a play (you know, the way we do) I noticed that when I made an .img file it was something in the order of the size you're suggesting there.

Do you have an original HP disk? OmniFlop et al would reveal its secrets! smile

To be honest, in order to put this one to bed once and for all, it would be nice to have a simple drill laid out for anyone to follow. That is:-

1) Download .zip file <filename> from ... <url>
2) Format floppy from a PC using FORMAT /<whatever>
3) ...

etc., etc.

I would do it myself if I had the kit to hand. smile

Not forgetting, of course, XLi versus XLs (it might be handy to specify model numbers as well).
