If you ever get copies please let me know, I can even write software to
copy the ROM to disk.
Urrk. So this guy won't boot from a standard Kaypro II system disk
at all?
I picked this up from Jim Battle over the weekend (Thanks, Jim!),
knowing that the Rodime drive was developing bad sectors. It *was*
booting to a string of Bad Sector errors and a prompt, but we didn't
have a head-park utility, and now it won't boot at all - stops at a
"Boot Error".
I have access to an Osborbe Executive and apparently Media Magic, and
there are a couple of ARK archives on the Simtel mirrors for the Advent
TurboROM. Is there anyway to generate a boot disk from that?
