as the MDS controller was SD/D2... single density(normal ibm
128 byte sectors) and D2 was double density by m2fm and
incompatable with everything except Intel. So you need
another working intel box user.

I am told that a WD1793 based controller can read M2FM. Have not tried
it myself, though. Did not Altos use such a format with their MP/M
disks?

Subject: ISIS & CP/M for MDS 225 series3
Hello folks...
I've been trying to get an operating system for my MDS 225 series 3 on 8"
disks.
I've read that it uses ISIS (Intel System Implementation Supervisor)
and that it can also run CP/M (GENERIC) according to Joe's web site
http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/mds.htm
However, I've tried to email joe at
rigdonj(a)intellistar.net
But the mail bounces as undelivered.
Any ideas?
