OK.
Thought I would check before experimenting......:-)
This antiquated machine is actually a zenith Z-248 with a
386 card and 8192K total memory. Has a pair of ST-225 20 meg
drives.
Tomsrtbt 1772KB floppy did indeed boot and load just fine!
As a curiosity, could tomsrtbt be utilized to partition a hard drive, load
a file system.......hmmmm....afraid that is about the limit of my linux
expertise. I have played with minix a fair amount.
