Some years ago I recall reading about possibly modifying TSS/8 to run on
more recent disks instead of the ancient DF32 (a whopping 32Kword fixed head
disk with up to three more slaved platters).
Did anyone actually implement the changes? I know it wouldn't work well on a
moving-head disk without significant changes, because the swapping is more
or less constant.
