2.2R6 Speakup ISO

[Igor Gueths]

Hi all. The problem in his case is that winblows xp won't give him explicit access to the floppy drive, saying that the floppy controler has failed. As a result, he can't access the drive from a cmd prompt. And he doesn't currently have a machine running w98 from which he could boot into real mode dos. He could possibly use winwrite.
