HELP: Outbound FLOPPY needed in Tokyo

I am the owner of a faithful original OUTBOUND portable Mac-clone.
Through thick and thin (mostly thick, it is kind of chunky), it
has computed away without complaint.

Now, fate has laid it low.  As it was suffering from a bad case
of hard-disc congestion, I purchased and installed AUTODOUBLER
on it.

Bad move.  Autodoubler crashes on the Outbound.  What is WORSE,
due to some quirk in the Outbound's keyboard handler, pressing
SHIFT on boot does not solve the problem.

As my OUTBOUND is a hard-disc only model, I cannot boot the
machine!  Also, I don't have a Plus anymore to "dock" to the
Outbound.

If there is anyone in the TOKYO area who has an original Outbound
with an external floppy disc drive or a docking module that will
let me bypass the internal HD, I would greatly appreciate it if
you would email me.

Many thanks in advance.
