[Techtoolslist] Fluke 9100ft - Floppy Disk Issues

[Steve Larkins]

I have presented the SD card at the side of my 9100ft so I just imaged a
spare SD with the service disk for when I need it.

Thanks for all you work on the software imaging Ian it's really handy.  I
transferred my missing pod libraries from the images you have made.
