Hi Paul -
I'm not sure that if will do what you need, boot from a floppy, but one
possibility is to get a floppy drive with a USB connection. I bought one a
few years ago to help in just this kind of situation. I only have to use is
a few times a year, but it pays off... They are pretty cheap from eBay or
other (Tiger?) sources, I think.
