PROBLEM SOLVED!  Found another, working 5.25 floppy drive on a dead 486 in 
my garage (the "pc graveyard"), which I installed in an old P3.

Second miracle of the day:  the 15-year old WC Deluxe Edition floppies were 
still readable.  I quickly copied them all to the HD, then copied them off 
onto 3.5 floppies, transferred them to my main pc........and successfully 
installed SM and SM2.  SM/SM2 both run fine.

There's a lesson here somewhere, that's for sure.  Henceforth, all my WC 
stuff is going to be stored in multiple accessible places (portable HD, 
floppies, CD's) and I'll make sure to upgrade media storage as old types 
become obsolete.  I think the 3.5 floppies are already pretty much obsolete 
and I guess the CD's will be next.
