I'm a little confused by your post. In your first sentence you say that
your computer doesn't support booting from a USB device (too old). In
the last sentence you say you'd like to download a floppy so you can
boot from a USB drive.???

If your computer's BIOS doesn't support booting from a USB device and
there is no BIOS update to enable this, you can't do it.

The floppy boot disks that enabled DOS to "see" the CD-ROM drive have
CD-ROM drivers on them. Bootdisk.com has those.

If you want more specific help, please post back clarifying exactly what
you are trying to do.
