” ... Look at what happened in physics when James Clerk Maxwell’s 200 quaternions (vector equations) were radically deformed and changed into (field equations) by Oliver Heaviside. We got modern electromagnetic theory, but no on has ever gone back to the original 200 quaternions (AFAIK) ... “
Some have argued that much was lost by Oliver Heaviside’s vector field equation treatment. Just saying
Do you know of a accessible source for Maxwell’s original 200 quaternions?
Do you know of a accessible source for Maxwells original 200 quaternions?

No. Probably in some University library.
There are some James Clerk Maxwell books on Amazon; try searching major Univeristy libraries; else trip of England may be in order.
I will point out that to others reading this that these are only theories not the machinery needed to make those things occur.
