If at all possible, I'll appreciate Cc:s to crs@swcp.com because I
have a really hard time keeping up with the news group. Thanks.

OK-- Next step in this sequence of questions.
I have some floppies with Unix filesystems on them that were made
on a Sun running SunOS 4.1.x. If I try to mount one as described
above, I get:
PC# mount /dev/fd0a /mnt
/dev/fd0a on /mnt: Incorrect super block.
PC#
I no longer have ready access to the Sun so conversion to a DOS
floppy isn't really an option.
Am I dead or can I do something?
