OK, think I get it, will try to ghost the image over to the CF, any recommendation as to which image to try?
I've seen more than one. Scope is 54845A vin 025 (the older one with just plain floppy drive) for what it matters.
Thanks again guys.
Converter:
It does not matter which vin#. It seems the latest version of the software v.4.5. Somewhere at the beginning of this thread there was a link to a file sharing service for downloading several versions of disk images.

I did the installation like this:
First, I connected the usual CD-drive to the IDE connector of the motherboard and, using my old CD-ROM (with resuscitation utilities), loaded the MS-DOS. Then I changed to a CDRW with the disk image file stored there and the utility for unpacking and the system was unpacked. It was very quick.

Thanks Tony, I've allready got your copy.

OK , so here it goes:
Since I still don't have 810 chipset board that I've ordered i went ahead and installed version 4.3 recovery image from Tony's onedrive, installed on original AMI 757 motherboard.
The only change that I made was to replace busted IBM travelstar HDD that came with the unit (rattling metal inside, most likely heads broke off) with a 8GB CF in an adapter plugged directly into mobo.
Took power from USB headers nearby, the install didn't go well, after reboot I've got something ~4 BSODs , always around the time when windows was installing the drivers for IDE controller.
But I restarted couple of times anyway and eventually it came alive :) :).
Passes self test without an issue, calibration took more than an hour , but it calibrated fine.
Is late now so I didn't try to update to 4.5 but will try tomorrow.
Should I worry about the BSODs during install ? What do you guys think?
Here are a couple of pics:
