Apple may smile upon you and give you system floppies if you call them,
if not, a Performa200 is a ClasicII at heart, and will run 7.0.1 with
TuneUp1.1.1 just fine, so you can download a new copy of the OS for

Alternatively, you could try downloading Network Software Installer
1.5.1, and see if that does the trick.
