I'd like to experiment with and research the details of the early Panasonic 40-pin (not ATAPI/IDE standard) and/or Sony "New Bus" 34-pin interface drives. These were supported by some Creative Sound Blaster cards and a number of others and the titles/identifications were very varied...

"the menu"? Which menu, HD boot menu or ROM BASIC? I'm not aware of any other possibilities, if it won't boot from the RefDisk in the A: drive. We have successfully used Goteks with FlashFloppy firmware plus 4GB USB sticks and adapter cables between the ribbon cable and Gotek drive...

I don't know where the Borland C++ 2.0 Manual went, offhand.

https://www.calhountech.com/products/ibm-95f1288-refurbished.html IBM M-ACPA sound adapters, and not just a few. U.S. or Canada shipping only, unless you can persuade them. Not very good for Win 95/98/98SE games, but YMMV. http://ps-2.kev009.com/ohlandl/sound/ACPA.html

A regular "blast from the past" reminding me of my days and nights hunched over my Televideo terminal, Oki Microline 92 printer and Morrow Designs Decision I S-100 bus system (capital outlay >$2500). It all looks VERY dusty (good, 'cos no-one's messed with it) and built to last, as things were...

Need to upgrade my IBM 4689-001 to -002 1.2MB capability. I have various working 1.44MB 3.5" FDs (plus the working 360KB cream face 5.25" FD too) to offer in exchange. Alternatively, I have Zip, Jaz and Syjet drives to offer, with adjustments of course.
