Back when I had a 3b2, I took all of my DISKS (yes 5.25" floppies) of
system software and made "backup copies". It was SYS V 3.2, and had
almost everything, except I think the SCSI drivers don't work. 

I had one each of 400 and 300 series models, but I don't remember which.
It was not fast, my 386-sx16 with 4meg ram and 2 60 meg RLL disks (the
hight of technology in 1990) running ESIX (SYSV 3.2) was much faster.

I used a PC backup program that was shareware called SCOPY. It made
compressed images of the disks, and I zipped the files into 1.4 meg
floppy sized archives. If you have a PC with an AT compatible (1.2 meg)
floppy drive, you can write the floppies on 360k blanks.

If anyone needs the files let me know.

Geoff.
