*early* Domain OS available?

Quick check - does anyone have an earlier floppy-based release of Domain OS 
for Apollo machines archived?

We've been offered an Apollo, but no idea yet of which model - all the details 
say is that it dates from when Apollo were independent (which possibly still 
means it's something like a 3000, I suspect - weren't HP not really involved 
until the 400 series?)

Anyway, the machine has no OS, but it does have install floppies (that's 
another thing; I thought Domain OS came on tape by the 3xxx machines - 
floppies suggest it's much older).

I'm willing to bet that the floppies aren't in the best of health by now 
though, so figured I'd check if someone has floppy-based install media 
archived anywhere before I chase this one up! (last thing we want is yet 
another machine with no software to run on it :-)

cheers

Jules
