O.K., here's my entry in this sweepstakes. I had no emergency boot set for ECS, so I just made
one. (A 4-disker. The 5th. diskette I recalled only comes up when you make a set for BA-II or
BackMaster, in which case it holds the Recovery s/w.) I chose not to bother with selecting the
H/D files: after all, ECS 1.0 ain't all that old; the files off the CD should not be antiquated for
most purposes. The set creation proceeded to its conclusion with nary a hiccup. The resulting
set boots ECS 1.0. On the strength of some comments here, I did not necessarily expect it to go
that smoothly, but I'm pleasantly surprised.

This is not as elegant as a 2-disk BOOTOS2 set, but it'll do. I can probably even figure out a
bunch of extraneous files than can be removed, in favor of some more useful items.
