I was thinking that on the PC, the program would have the smarts to ask 
things to give you an itelligent selection such as...

Number of floppies?

(If answer is zero, don't even bother listing any floppy drivers, move 
on to the next)
(otherwise ask for disk density, size etc and offer a list of drivers 
that fit the criteria for the user to select)

I suspect I'm looking at this with rose colored glasses of course. :)
