I have working 360K drives, and could image those disks for future
reference.

 Minix will run on the 8088..(If my memory serves correctly)  It'll run
 off of a 360K floppy if you feel like swapping disks..  (A couple of
 1.44 3.5" floppies made a better system tho)

 I've got the white binder from Prentice-Hall around here 
 somewhere if I
 felt like digging.. Too bad I don't think I've got anything 
 that'll read
 those 360K floppies anymore.. (If they're still good.) :-) 

 Ameoba required the 386 (as did Minix-386 - of course)
