We see this quote from people over and over, you really don't know anything except that it boots on the laptop. If it was a high speed burn it might be marginal and I would expect it to boot on some systems but not on others.

As to the floppy, I have no idea what is on the floppy. If it's a copy of SBM then it should work (if you are using it correctly). If it's anything else then I doubt if it will help you.
