While it is not a Linux distribution, I have personally had good luck running OpenBSD on older laptops, specifically a Dell Latitude CP, of similar vintage. On this system I do not have a CDROM drive, only a floppy, and this was the only OS I could do a network install using a floppy disk and a PCMCIA wireless card.

Did you try Debian netinst? I'm sure I've done a netinstall from floppies on a Toshiba Tecra
520CDT, and used its PCMCIA net card to download.
