Chris,
I'm glad to hear that there are at least a few of them out there. Can
you make a list of what you have? Between John, Fritz and you I should be
able to get a decent set of software and manuals. BTW I found a disk in
one of my drives. It's marked "PTR V7" "DO - T" "1-40"
"5-12-82". Any idea
what it might be? It's a 32 sectored hard sectored disk. Is that what
these use?
I have no idea. I was at my parents at weekend and took a look onto my MDS manuals.
So tomorrow I can tell you what I have. The manuals are dated from 1977 to 1979.
My MDS systems are at another location but in the next month I'll bring them home.
Than i'll fire them on and see if I can make systemdisks - if that works I need hard
sectored disks to make
copies for you and they are very seldom to find.

Greetings Joe and John,
I've got one of those devel systems too along with s/w and manuals. Haven't
fired mine up in a _long_ time either. Used RIO of some version too. Simple
OS.
My memory is real fuzzy on it now even though I used to occasionally use it
at work (mid-80's). I wonder if the disks are still okay (bitrot)? It's in
storage and I really should drag it out to the house before winter. Books
and s/w buried up in the attic along with a million other things. Let me
know if you cannot find all the docs and s/w.
Regards, Chris

Yes, it's blue with brushed aluminium around
the top. I think I saw the
letters MCZ n it but I'll check to be sure. I'd love to get a copy of the
disks and any manuals that you have.
Mine's a model 05-1014-00.
Back in 1997, I chatted with Fritz Chwolka about the one he owns.
He has a unique name, he's easy to find in web searches. He's active
in the German CP/M community. Perhaps you can find him. I found
three or four various e-mail addresses in a search this morning.
