OK, so that means there is no such image. This is a 1.44Mb image for a 3"1/2 floppy. I was asking for 5"1/2 360 KB images. After all these years, it seems I will have again to do my own.
@Tom: yes, when talking about asm and c in ms-dos, at least for me, it was clear that some of the high-level part was written in C. msdos.sys which is for me the important part, has always been written in asm.
