I have them somewhere, they are available on the internet. Would you need 
a physical set for reinstall?

My suggestion is SCSI2SD. It's BEAUTIFUL!

I copied my system hard drive to SD card, then I can pull the SD card out 
and put it in my Windows 10 laptop. WinUAE can point to the SD card as the 
primary disk, and it can boot off of that SD card -- same system I get on 
the real machine. WinUAE can mount a windows directory to the Amiga OS and 
then you can copy stuff over.

I recommend getting the WHDLoad collection. Much of the amiga software 
expects you to boot it from floppy, bypassing the OS. WHDLoad patches all 
that to run straight from hard drive. I just dumped a ton of demos and 
games on my 2500HD and most of the games run and some of the demos run.

I recommend directory opus and lha.bin.

It kind of depends on what scsi card you have I think but I could prob dd 
the whole thing.

If you can get a scsi2sd, I think you could just install the OS under 
winuae to SD card then boot that card ont he machine!!!!

I have OS disks though and an eprom programmer if you need the other bits 
though.

I came up on DOS PC but yea, Amiga stuff is cool. Hacky, but cool.

Thoughts?
