None of my spare 1.44M drives worked or booted. The GOTEK-ZIP is for use with the Gotek sfrm72-fu-dl (set jumpers JC and S0 only) on the Rein 420 SLC laptop: Place these files in the root folder of a FAT16 or FAT32 USB stick. Set the Gotek to b01 (Image Mode, Image 1) and load the image. (Not sure what b01 means? Refer to the Gotek manual available online.) Boot from A:. Once booted, run SETUP.EXE and configure your device. BIOS-SETUP Image can be found here: https://archive.org/details/ai_PC16
