I have a slab that I got for free a couple of years ago - mono monitor,
mouse and keyboard included, 0K RAM, 0Mb disk (pre-scavenged). I've been
wanting to get something running on this ever since I got it.

I went there and it all seems simple...

Is the boot floppy image available anywhere? I can migrate the 2.88Mb drive
to my desktop, fire up Linux and just dd the info right to it (presuming I
track down a source of 4Mb media).

I've got lots of other toys to play with, but since this came up, I'd like
to see what I can get running here.

Thanks,
