I have a Compaq Portable III here, worked the last time it was powered
(years ago), may or may not still work. I also have a file called
"SP0316.ZIP" that contains "SP0316.exe" which, I THINK, is a utility
(service pack) that makes the setup disk for the Portable III. However, it
needs to run on a PC with a 360k 5.25" floppy drive.
I THINK.

I think 8.00 is the *last* that will fit on a 5" floppy.
8.04 requires 3" floppies -- though I haven't checked to see if
the extra 0.24M actually has any significant *content* (e.g.,
it could just be part of INSPECT.
N.B. I've already emailed 3 versions (6.something, 7.0 and 8.00)
to the OP -- though *this* SP probably self-extracts under
*DOS* (the versions I emailed required windows for extraction)
