is there anybody that can help me out with this?  i don't have anything here
to write a boot floppy with.

it has an ST251 inside that i can boot from and lay down basics on.  i'll
probably just be happy with NFS since i don't care to try to take this thing

which is why i didn't buy a keyboard/monitor for it when i picked it up.
(the vs2000 was free, the monitor and keyboard the guy wanted money for)
