of the fears that I have for my 3620 and 3640's in that I'd like to have
replacement disks but without the
manufacturing mojo, there's no way to put Genera and the bootstrap and
uCode on a blank disk.

A colleague of mine and I tested David Gesswein's MFM emulator (
http://www.pdp8.net/mfm/mfm.shtml) in his 3620; it was able to capture a
disk image from the 3620's MFM disk and successfully boot Genera from the
image. So there is a solution, at least if you happen to have a system
using MFM disks. (And an image or working disk to start from...)
Now, an ESDI emulator... that would be nice to have :).
