Had a pretty darned good afternoon!
Downloaded system 6.0.8 floppy images from winworldpc.com, they give a good overview which are 400k, 800k or 1.44mb images.
Went in my hardware archive, dug out an old pentium2 laptop...
Internal floppy drive appeared to be dead, so some digging around for an external with appropriate cable, had to take that one apart and lubricate as nothing much moved initially.
Got it working eventually, then a rather long search for a properly good floppy which didn't churn out format error (out of my archive of several hundreds).
Used winimage to create the system 6.08 floppy...
