Ok. It's just that I get people shouting at me saying that it is
not possible to do things I've been doing for 8, 16, 24 ,
whatever, years and it sometimes rubs off.

Yes, I've got quite a few yellow "black" disks, and several
non-blue "blue" disks :)

You can do it yourself if you have an EPROM programmer, prepatched
image and patching program at http://mdfs.net/Apps/Filing
 
I can do it for you, one pound will get you a DNFS 3.01 ROM. If
you want any NFS defaults changing as well I can do that. I tend
to set the Printer Server to 0.254, the same as the File Server as
I use an MDFS which also print serves.
