If we are talking about the same diskette #2 (i.e. the one with config.sys
and snoop.lst), then it contains mostly drivers. As others have noted,
you are only going to need a small subset of these drivers to support all
your systems.

If you list the hardware you want to support and the current contents of
the diskette, it's easier to provide specific instructions.

Given what I know of your systems, you are going to need DANIS506.ADD and
at least one of the SCSI drivers. The rest of the SCSI drivers can go
away.

Utility diskettes are more like install diskettes than BOOTOS2 diskettes.
BOOTOS2 diskettes are specific to one system. Utility diskettes are
generic, so they will attempt to load drivers for all sorts of hardware
most folks don't even have.
