No luck on that one... I never had access to the operating system. I was
"strongly encouraged" to write applications to get a poor B26 network to
talk to both Honeywell and Sperry mainframes. I was quite the unhappy
camper at the time -- I could get it to talk to the Sperry, but nearly never
to the Honeywell, even with Honeywell and Sperry emulator packages. (I was
a 1Lt at the time, and they hadn't bothered to tell me they'd fired a GS-11
lifetime programmer for the same "failing...") Needless to say, I don't
have any love lost for CT or C3 systems.

Sorry to say that I don't. I have some 8"
data disks with CG data on
them, but they aren't boots. Sorry.
Regards,
Jeff

Wouldn't have a floppy boot set for CTOS, wouldja?
I have a fully functioning B26 with drive slice. Boots to a login
prompt from the harddrive, and I don't have any passwords.
