Oh, I see, so there is no way to distinguish Am386 from i386 on 33 Mhzm, isn't it?

It is my own build of Groza 386 single board computer http://www.alexandrugroza.ro/microelectronics … sbmc/index.html. The clock is created from 14.31818 MHz crystal by SC425APB and is set to 40 MHz. Thansk for the advice, I will try to lower the clock to 33 MHz.

I do not play games much, but wouldn't say there is one gaming era for me. I still nostaligicaly return to 1977 Start Trek from time to time, as well as to 3 years old Kingdom Come. I play DOOM, Age Of Empires or some 8-bit compuers game meanwhile.

I think iam going to use software first. Then i dont have to spend so much of money for nothing. But maybe it is a last resort, if iam out of other options. Sure, software may be the easiest.

There is also a special hardware to read/copy/preserve floppies, such as KryoFlux https://www.kryoflux.com/, FluxEngine https://github.com/davidgiven/fluxengine or Greaseweazle https://github.com/keirf/Greaseweazle, but this is getting off topic.
