Is that the ONLY boot disk that you have? Where exactly
are  you?  If you want, I could make you a boot disk with
some tools on it like Shrinkit and Asimov and a telecom
program.  However, if you have other bootable disk,
we could step you through creating one.

The disk you got from Apple are extractable only on the
Mac.  You could try to make an 800k floppy from the
Mac and unextract the files  you got onto them.  I don't
know if that would work.
