Check out Dave Dunfield's site:

If you have a monitor in ROM or can toggle a short one into
memory, then you can reproduce disks from his web site.  It
works pretty well, I've just done it myself to get N* DOS and
Lifeboat CP/M for my N*.

As for a drive, I think any good 360K floppy drive will work.  The
one's (with N* badges) in my N* are Tandons just like in the IBM PC.
