I should be able to make one though I don't have any unmodified versions.
I and some other people modified the OS in high school to make it
better to use. I haven't figured out which is the best version from
the disks I have. If you don't get someone with normal disks email me and I
can make you copies of one of mine. The modifications were for the video
board version so if you have a serial machine I will have to see if they are
useable.
I believe it's possible to reconstruct a boot
disk over a serial port,
but I'd rather keep that as a last resort. That would be an exercise
much like building a ship in a bottle.
I'll second this -- I have exactly the same machine, with exactly
the same problem -- no bootable media. I was actually preparing to
send out a similar mail in the next few weeks; you beat me to it :).
