You want floppies? SLS floppies?!? 1993 SLS floppies?!?! I've put a copy of my 1993 SLS floppies online at Sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12580&package_id=27799&release_id=146898 http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=146898&group_id=12580 They're in a directory in a tar file. I strongly suspect they turned up, transmogrified into a qemu hd image, in one of the Linux Format DVDs. ;) But I haven't booted the qemu hd image yet.
