Cleaning up the NT 3.1 entries, the existing floppy set is actually build 528, so simply rename that. Place the original (build 511) floppy set as winnt31o_35.

The floppy disk connected to the cdrom set winnt31o2 actually belongs to winnt31o (build 528 instead of 511), and the build 511 3.5" install floppy is now marked as “nodump.” Users can still start the installation from DOS and use the CD-ROM version, but a direct boot from floppy is only an option for 5.25" drives until a dump is made.

The old floppy disk connected to cdrom winnt31/winnt31o has been replaced by what was in winnt31o2. The only difference is that this disk has unused sectors filled out with f6 bytes, the same as what happens from Microsoft's format utilities of the day.
