So, one of the things I have along with my 11/45 is an RK05 alignment
cartridge. Unfortunately, its seems warped -- rides up an down a few
millimeters in each direction as you turn it in an RK05 drive. :-(
Is there any hope for bending one of these platters back more into true
(maybe using a rig like they do with bicycle rims, etc?). Or is it just
basically junk at this point?
I wouldn't really care, but it's an alignment cartridge and there can't
still be too many of these still around out there... So it sort of sux
to just write it off. I'm assuming that if I had to release the media
>from the hub in order to true it, its value as an alignment cartridge
would be lost anyway.

You've looked in EK-MSV1Q-UG-002, right? That seems to cover a couple of
different revisions.

The M8067-L variants are all MSV11-PL (512-Kbyte QBUS MOS memory). The
last letter usually indicates the vendor of the MOS chips used.

I too couldn't find any documentatin for this; there is the 'SMS 1000
Microcomputer System OEM Manual', which says how to configure one for a base
configuration. I started to work out what the configuration switches do, by
experiment, but I got distracted before I finished. I have found my notes
>from this exercise, and can send them to you if they are of any use.

Complement. I already have a large stack of empty bezels, acquired to hold
the indicator panels... :-)
Although Dave Bridgham has been playing with the CNC mill at his local
makespace (he's already turned out a bunch of light shields for me), and he
now has a prototype of a thing which combines the bezel and light shield. So
maybe the empty bezels will instead get paired with blank sheets to make a
stack of 1/2-width blank panels. Someone still makes that 'pebbled' sheet
like what DEC used in blank panels, but we haven't acquired any yet to see
just how close a match it is. (Anyone happen to know?)

Two H960's, actually - it looks like there's another one in front of that
one.
If the half panels are for sale, I'll take them! :-)

Hi Everyone,
Is there any interest in a DiscFerret in good working order?
If so contact me off-list. I don't have a plan yet for the case interest
is >1.

Wondering if anyone has any EPROM dumps of Netronics' BASIC for the
Explorer/85. I'd like to set up my own EX/85 for that but also have this
little Atlantis 8085 board that I was hoping to experiment with. I've
looked all over the interwebs and have had no luck finding a dump, although
I have found reference to people dumping them for backup purposes.
Many thanks!
Brad
