You could always UUENCODE, split, and copy over with multiple floppies.

Cameron, why not rig up an external 720k drive to solve your problem.

Gee by now Cameron you should know I have everything, 720k drive piece of cake, I may even have Kings Quest new in the box.

The beauty of this particular edition is that the copy protection is stripped. It runs without comment on the 486. PC Gamer really outdid themselves with that cover disc; it contains full versions of Duke Nukem II, Alone in the Dark, the original Monkey Island, Terminal Velocity, Descent, XCOM, Wing Commander I (alas rewritten for Win32, eyugh), Ultima 1: The First Age of Darkness, Red Baron, Betrayal at Krondor, Links, Need For Speed 1, Ultima Underworld, and, of course, KQ1. All of them are completely legal editions, and most of these games are on-topic :-)
