If the disk won't boot any Mac and you've tried blessing the system, assume that the System file itself has been corrupted -- not surprising after 17 years. Have you tried making a Diskcopy of the floppy and swapping the System file for a known working version? > The Guided Tour is 690-5065-A and has s3.0/f5.1 (American English). > The > System Tools is B690-5064-B and has s3.2/f5.3 (British English). > According > to my User's Guide the former was the first created for the Plus in > Jan 86 > and the later was an upgrade created in June 86. > > I am I correct in thinking that the first 'B' denotes the language > (absent > on the American version) the numbers refer to the Plus and the final > letter > refers to the version number.

ZM indicates multicountry including International English. The xxx-yyyy is the part number. It's utterly meaningless because even disks in the same set don't have sequential part numbers. Like you I believe that the final letter indicates a revision.
