Those look an awful lot like the distribution disks for COHERENT 4.2.10.
There's a writeup of how to get that installed and running under qemu here:

However, there have been some reports of stability issues with the emulated
disk under qemu; VirtualBox seems to be the most consistently reliable (and
fast!) alternative, but you have to run it under a 32-bit host OS. I ended
up installing a 32-bit Linux under VMWare to run virtual box to run
COHERENT (yes, it's awful). I haven't tried qemu lately to see if the
stability problems have been addressed, though.

In the "distrib" directory there are
four files exactly 1440 kb in size
- maybe someone could try loading those into a VM/Emulator?
I had exactly that thought after I downloaded the tar ball this morning.
Any suggestions for a VM config that would facilitate this would be
welcome. Otherwise I’m going to stumble through virtual box and see what
happens.
