Sounds like youre one step away from success. This may help:

If you are "seriously pulling out your hair" with a single bin file,
you probably wont enjoy dealing with a complete system rebuild from
floppy disks. If I were you, I would put that money towards a visit to
your local computer tech/repair shop who knows vintage Macs. What you
are asking above is a completely routine job for anyone who makes
their living repairing computers. If thats not an option, try your
