Hi Steven
 This makes more sense. I just assumed it was patched because
the label said 1.0. I guess they where just saving cost of printing
labels. I don't have it right in front of me but it seems like
the 50.05.00 was hand stamped on the label as well.

 It is good to get a nice cross compare. I believe the originals were
all converted from the h17 format. I see that you renamed them already.
You are really fast ;)
 For others, I should note that there appear to be 11 new images
so for those trying to keep things up to date, one should download
what is new( thanks Dan and Steve ). I just have to finish making
my sector hole punch. Then I can have enough disks to use for
all of this great stuff.
