d:\baslin30 (which I changed to d:\baslin to test it) and for 
3.32 in e:\baslin.  I have 3.30 and 3.32 with identical problems.
I copied the .zip files via ethernet.  Should I download directly instead?

I unzipped all the files into baslin, fs.img and boot are there.

Okay, I will either download 3.32 for HD directly to that computer, or 
download the floppy version and try that (with loadlin, I hope).

An identical motherboard is working with 3.32 downloaded directly.  Maybe 
it does not transfer well via ethernet cable.
