I have a USB floppy drive where I store my gopher pages.

I tried that USB drive on my HP T510 MSDos machine/build to restore a backup from msbackup. msbackup does not like the timing of the USB floppy drive. It thinks there is a physical problem with the drive when attempting restores. And I can't use subst to trick msdos to open the files off the hard drive.
