Okay so I recently bought a Zenith SuperSPORT 286e, but it has a problem.

When it boots, or it freezes up at an empty screen, or it goes into the BIOS screen, then lets me leave the BIOS, i run the boot command ( litteraly just the letter b ) and it gets stuck on a white screen reading the floppy.

I tried leaving it on for 10, 20, 30 minutes even, is it too little?

But I'm theorizing it is because I'm not able to find the OS for it, I tried a few Zenith/Microsoft DOS bootable floppies from archive.org, but they don't seem to be working.

Does anyone know why? Does anyone have a floppy that they could send me an image for?

NOTE: The computer has no hard disk.
