Good to know. I have at least one 1542B running around, and an old
DOS box I can use to stuff it all into.
What 8" floppy did you use? I think I have a Tandon one (TM848?) I
can borrow from a non-DEC Qbus box.
I didn't write them back yet (inverted write
protect logic, but assume it will be no problem...
At this point, I'm personally more interested in reading than writing,
at least for the disk I myself have.
OTOH, I have real RX02s and real DEC CPUs, so I could probably just as
easily rig up a vtserver setup, but via serial, it wouldn't be all
that fast.
