I've tried writing both the DOS 3.2 and 3.3 versions of this diagnostic disk using the images available at the PC 6300 Shrine and on http://olivettim24.hadesnet.org/download.html without success.
All the other system disk images on these sites are no problem, but for some reason the Diagnostic disk images are 8-bytes too short and if forced onto a floppy have the directory listing skewed one byte too far with corrupted data. WinImage won't even attempt to open it.
I've tried adding 8-bytes of empty data into various parts of the boot sector or simply appended to the end of the file, but no dice.
Obviously others have no issues creating a usable floppy with these images so... whats your secret??
