Ray's advice to use UpdateCD is good. But why not just go ahead and try
using the newer updated floppies? They should be backward compatible
with old hardware.

*Remember* that your 1 GB disk will be okay but if someday you put in a
large disk then the older versions of FDISK, CHKDSK etc. may scramble
the drive. Also, Warp 4 without fixpaks is not Y2K compliant. Thus,
once you get Warp onto the machine you should immediately install FixPak
15. And don't forget to also update TCP/IP and MPTN.

DTape by Paul Ratcliffe (free):

You can also use the audio recording software that comes with Warp 4.
Some people have had crash problems with the Warp 4 recorder and have
backleveled to the Warp 3 recorder which (to them) appears to be more
stable. Others prefer DTape.
