Rereading this, I may have misunderstood yet again. Did you mean you
want the entire OS on a floppy?
Have you tried Tom's RootBoot? It's an amazingly complete

No ! I want to back my windows system. I don't want CRAP to do simple
things like 1) backup my system 2) replace hardware 3) process
information. 4) Play games.
see OS/9 for how to write a real OS.
