Hi,
Did you ever figure out you dilemma regarding your lack of Ohio Scientific floppy media?
I'm basically in the same place having a disk system, but no floppies. I've even
tried 'building' a floppy using disk images found on the net, but the process
seems almost impossible and I ultimately failed.
I've been requesting in various places and forums for anyone who can make me some
copies of their working media, but no one has replied. this is certainly a sad state of
affairs, and I worry that if too much more time passes then we may loose all working
media.to ravages of time and may loose the ability to make new OSI floppies.
I have also been helping develop a paddle board that will basically allow OSI users to
replace their old and dying original drives with something more modern like a 3.5"
disk drive. We have the first prototypes of the board in but I have thus far failed to get
it working and need to do some further troubleshooting.
In the future I really would like to build a database of software and disk images and find
some way for diskless OSI users to bootstrap and create working floppies.
Anyway, excuse the rant
Cheers
Phil
