SLACKWARE BOOT DISKS

[Gregory Nowak]

Yes, you can use color.gz from the slackware distro, and your synth will still work. If you'd like, I can e-mail you a copy of it. Also, have you tried writing it to a different floppy? If rawrite can't write to a sector (even though scandisk says the floppy is fine-- little does it know), the root disk will be defective as a result.
