No worries :-)

LOL the pinnacle of PC gaming (almost, Natural Selection tops it for
me ;-) )

This *is* (or at least *was*) configured with a Siamese - I suspect
the screenmodeprefs (?) are set up as VGA, but as ISA slots are now
like hens' teeth, i'm curious as to whether I could ever get it going
again. In all fairness, i've never even powered this particular mig up
since acquiring it from a good mate for next to sod-all (my missus was
really not impressed, having finally got me to sell my own rig to a
mate despite fierce resistance about 2 weeks prior :-p )

Might need to do that, because if they're rare now, they'll be made of
pure unobtainium in the near future :-/

Interesting - I forgot the mig could output via scart ;-) - but i'd
probably need to get some assistance trying to figure out how and what
I needed to set the screenmode prefs to in the first place :-}

Shame, i've probably got close to a thousand disks here still (mainly
PD) - too far for me to hand 'em over in person, and probably too
awkward to post :-}
Have you ever figured a way to read miggy disks on a PC ? - I believe
someone managed a work-around by daisy-chaining two floppies and using
some software they wrote, which i've got here somewhere - just in case
it might be of interest / use to you :-)
