[PLUG] OS/2 Warp 4 Boot Disks Wanted

[Casey Bralla via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

For the past few months, I've allowed my OCD to focus on 
retro-computing.  I've bought an Apple IIe from eBay, and just recently 
got an Osborne 1.

I've also been setting up "museum pieces" on some of my old hardware.  
I've got Windows 98 running on an old Pentium III laptop, and would like 
to get OS/2 Warp running on an old desktop.

But...

In a paroxysm of 5S'ing a few months ago, I threw away almost all my old 
3.5" floppies.  Just like the 5S rules say, "you'll have to buy back 10% 
of what you throw away",  now find I need the 2 OS/2 Warp boot floppies 
that I trashed.  Luckily, I kept the CD-ROM, but don't have the 
floppies.  I've tried to pirate them from the internet, but can't seem 
to get them to boot on my old hardware. This may be because the pirated 
copies are bad, or because my hardware (old that it is) is still too 
modern for OS/2.  Without boot disks that are known to be good, I can't 
really figure out what is happening.

Does anybody have these 2 floppies?  If so, could you make a "dd" image 
of them for me?  (Note: I legally purchased OS/2 many years ago, so this 
is not piracy.  In fact, I can remember tying up the phone line 
overnight in the late 90's to download a major OS/2 update to put them 
on 5.25" floppies...  I think it was something like 17 disks. It took 
hours of long distance on a 33K modem. ugh!)

Please contact me off list if you can help.

Much thanks!

Casey
