Thanks to Eric Chomko and MIchael Holley my
SWTPc S/09 is now
back up and running. I took the S/09 and all it's documentation over
to Eric's and we put it on his workbench next to his 69/K and spent
the afternoon working on them. I think it's safe to say that we both
learned a thing or two.
No doubt about that! I'm still puzzled about my system, however. We
shoulda
snapped pictures too. :(
We also set up a 5-1/4" floppy drive for it using his SSB
DCB-4A disk controller, in place of my DMFA2 controller. We were
able to boot the SSB DOS without a problem. Since it's known that
the drive works well with the DCB-4A, and we already have the Smoke
Signal Broadcasting DOS, does anyone have a SSB DCB-4 or DCB-4A
they'd be willing to part with? Unfortunately, I had to give his
back <g>
Yes, I made him give it back as I was green with envy. Now I gotta get
my system working properly.
Yeah we may be that lone bastion of SSB DOS on the planet, as most folks
have gone FLEX. But hell, SSB DOS is the one I learned and have lots of
SW about.
Anyway, thanks, Jeff, for a day of fun.
