AFAIK, Windows NT/2K (and maybe XP?) cannot talk to floppy disks with more
than 80 tracks (ie the 1720K format used by DUCLING).  This is possible,
however, on Windows 95/98/ME (and maybe XP?).

You might also want to check out some of the LEAF disk images available on
the website...IIRC, someone made a single-floppy Dachstien equivlent to
DUCLING...with the smaller Dachstein kernel & root ramdisk, everything fits
on a 1680K disk, rather than the previously required 1720K.
