I am trying to look through the toolshed code to try to figure out how 
the diskini.exe can create a floppy with 256 byte sectors on Windows 7 
or later.

I am also trying to see if it provides a way to read my DECB formated 
coco disks on Windows 7 or later.

It looks like I can use the instructions on Linux to copy a floppy to a 
disk image, but I am not sure if the USB floppy can handle 256 byte 
sectors, has anyone tried that?

I seem to be short a working x86 system with an actual floppy drive at 
the moment.

Regards,
-John
