Yes.  Actually, it has A: [first] tried that, and a menu, meaning I
have a choice at bootmenu from C or A [kind of clever--I like it]

But alas, I still cannot boot.  What I have  done so far:

removed everything but video card, RAM, keyboard, floppy drive
replaced floppy drive ribbon cable
ensured 'red trace' at #1 pin--both ends fo ribbon cable
replaced floppy drive
tried numerous 'proven' bootable floppy disks

The stinker is this:  the A drive reads perfectly in NT, or in the
NT/DOS shell, and it performs, reading any file on the floppy.

It just won't boot.

driving me nuts sooner that I deserve

suggestions....please....?
