Yes, it comprised 5 installer disks and 1 "emergency"boot disk. Trouble is if
you don't have a hard drive you won't be able to use much more than that
"emergency" disk. With no hard drive, you might be better off with system
5.0.4. Especially on a ROM 3 which has a lot of the System 5 tools in ROM
and will thus boot System 5 a lot quicker.
If that ROM 1 is reachable, it might be worth the trouble to grab the memory
expansion card and 3.5" drive to use on the ROM 3. It'd be a lot easier
running IIgs apps with two 3.5" drives.
