Might it work on Bochs with proper rework of the controller code? It
would be great to run it on a simulator, and not have to mess with
cranky old museum collection systems.

excellent score, congrats! Any chance you'll be making disk
images?
If I can, I will. I *believe* the diskettes are 5-1/4", but the
owner/seller wasn't sure. I don't have a machine right now that can
accomplish this, but that will hopefully change soon. In other words,
I've got machines that can read 5-1/4" diskettes, but none of them can
connect to the network right now (either lack of equipment or because
they are in storage). Let me see what I can do...
I'm a former employee ("Jim Leonard" in the big credits page in the
front of the manual). Yes, they're 5.25" 1.2MB disks, so you'll need
a high-density drive. I would personally love to see images made; I
overwrote all my Coherent disks (I had hundreds :-) years ago.
That version of Coherent runs on 286s with minimum 640KB and up to
16MB of RAM. It will only work with MFM, RLL, and SCSI controllers,
so be sure to read the documentation before wondering why it doesn't
see your IDE drive.
It's been 18 years since I provided technical support, so don't hold
your breath ;-)
