CD-ROM dumped from my own disc.

Floppy images are sort-of unofficial, given that no such floppy disks are shipped in the software’s box. Even still, the disc has %LANG%\DOSMAKE\MAKEDISK.BAT files that can be used to create bootable floppy disks. The utility of the floppy disks for booting systems (especially ct486) without El Torito support is rather high, so I am including them here.

It’s a bit unusual in MAME to fully describe titles with a company
name prefixing it, except in cases where that name is intimately tied
to the product name.  That exception doesn’t apply here; this was
simply the version after Symantec purchased PowerQuest and it was no
longer “PowerQuest PartitionMagic”... at least until Symantec
proceeded to discontinue it entirely.
