I'm guessing that's for me.

I looked around, and found the two floppy disks.
Here's what's on them.

The first floppy has:

IBMBIO COM 22,100 03-18-87 12:00p IBMBIO.COM
IBMDOS COM 30,159 03-17-87 12:00p IBMDOS.COM
COMMAND COM 25,307 03-17-87 12:00p COMMAND.COM
VDISK SYS 8,227 06-03-03 4:11p VDISK.SYS
CONFIG SYS 26 06-03-03 4:26p CONFIG.SYS
AUTOEXEC BAT 361 09-21-03 11:10p AUTOEXEC.BAT
CONTINUE BAT 248 09-21-03 11:11p CONTINUE.BAT
LOADLIN EXE 32,225 09-02-02 2:10p LOADLIN.EXE
BZIMAGE 735,763 09-20-03 7:40p BZIMAGE
PART1 399,936 09-21-03 10:37p PART1
10 file(s) 1,254,352 bytes
0 dir(s) 200,192 bytes free

The second floppy has:

PART2 1,237,762 09-21-03 10:37p PART2

For the first time, I tried booting with that in my 2nd computer, the
300MHz AMD K6-2 on a FIC VA-503+ (or some such) motherboard, 64Mb RAM, from
about 1999?

Seems to give a normal ramdisk BasicLinux.

Thanks,

Sheldon Isaac
