Good point.

> Can you format a floppy as FAT32?

According to <http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=253774>, no:

	Floppy disks are formatted as FAT12, even if you have formatted
	your hard disk to FAT32. The utility, Format.com is prohibited
	from making a FAT32 file system on a floppy disk.

It should be possible to create a small partition for testing, but it's
probably much easier to do in VMware...
