I'm still looking for a EIIIXP OS Disk (floppy). I can't download the ROM becasue I don't have a floppy drive connected to any of my PCs/Macs. Any suggestions?

just buy a usb floppy disc drive

Unfortunately that won't work. USB floppy drives typically only support the standard DOS/Mac formats.
The EIII(X) floppy disks have more sectors per track than standard DOS floppy disks.
The omniFlop and fdrawcmd drivers need internal floppy drives, controlled by a PC floppy controller on the motherboard.

I found a copy of the OS on an old Jazz disk that eventual booted after an hour or so. If you can find anyone who has booted up their EIIIXP from any medium (Jazz, Zip, HD or floppy etc) they can stick a blank floppy in their drive (unformatted or formatted) and the EIII will reformat it then copy the software to that floppy. You can buy blank floppies on eBay...can't remember if you should get the Double Sided Double Density (720Kb) or Double Sided High Density (1.4Meg) , it'll be on an old spec sheet (DSDD or DSHD). I since sold my EIIIXP so can't help but there must be a studio out there with a working one...just send them a floppy and some money for P+P.

I made a copy of around 10 Disks, so whoever wants the latest OS let me know. Shipping worldwide.

I have EIIIXS(2 actually) which need newer OS's. I was wondering if the OS is the same for the XS and the XP....
Anyone know if they are compatible?(if they are, I am VERY interested in a copy!)
Thanks!

XS + XP share the same software.
the XS has just 3 jacks and 3 chips "more" than the XP. My is an XS'ed XP now :-)
