Setting up a TPDD

Hello Guys,

I'm a long time lurker, 1st time poster. I bought my 102 a few years back
and a model 200 more recently. I'm only 25 but I remember see one on
Discovery Channel in the late 80's or early 90's and I wanted one. So now I
have two. It sat on my shelf for a long time.

Well just  the other day I got a TPDD.  Eject mechanism hadn't been used in
a long time and was stuck but I managed to fix that.

My question is how can I test the drive to see if it works? I see I need a
file call FLOPPY.CO and that I would need to boot off the disk. Where can I
find this file and how to I get it onto the disk. Can I take a regular FAT
formated disk and just copy it. I doubt it is that easy. Or is there a image
out there I can just use "dd" to blow on to a floppy.

Thanks ahead of time guys.
