> The only problem is that the boot ROMs, which
are on the WH-27
card,
don't know
how to boot a RL02. Any ideas?
What my boss did was to pull the floppy controller and use a BDV-11
It has the DL boot on it.
No can do - the BDV11 is also a quad module, which I guess didn't
bother your boss since he'd already hacked up his H11, but I won't do
that to mine! I could use a MXV11, but those are hard to find and I
didn't want to "waste" one.
Besides, I wanted to keep the WH-27. After all, it can _format_
diskettes!!!
The coolest thing would be to reprogram the WH-27 ROMs and add a DL
bootstrap. Being that it's a Heathkit and all, I'd assume that the ROMs
are fairly well documented, but I haven't looked into it.
BTW, I've scanned most of the H11 manual set if you missing anything.
