I tried looking on aminet, but with no luck. Does anyone have a disk that
they would copy me? Postage refundable. I really would like to install OS3.5
or 3.9 you see.

The drive is made by TRAXDATA. Here are the current spacs of amiga.
2MB Chip RAM
Original rom (3.o - i think)
Wbench 3.0
020 processor,
200mb hard drive, nothing fancy but it's gettin' there.
