I've been trying to get a Linux LiveCD
working on my older laptop (a P166), which
has no internal CD-ROM. To do this I need a
boot floppy or supplementary floppy to
provide support for my PCMCIA SCSI adapter.
Unfortunately, none of the LiveCDs compatible
with my system provide a PCMCIA.IMG file. Can
you tell me how to construct a floppy with
the necessary pcmcia support? The distro I'm
most interested in running on my laptop is
Knoppix 3.4

that is not an easy task. Why not do it the easy way, just copy that big 700M file KNOPPIX to c:\KNOPPIX\KNOPPIX and just use the floppy image on the CD to boot. You don't new a CD-ROM in this way except the initial copying which can be done under Windows.
