You could also check out some news groups...  stuff like that is often
posted in groups w/ names like alt.binaries.pc.old or something (that
may not be exactly the name, but it's similar)...  altho' I know MS does
some weird things w/ their floppies so they can fit more data on them...
I don't know if that's just a software thing or if it's got anything to
do w/ hardware, but it's a shot...
