Hm. Can you read data back from the RK05 pack? I'd have to refresh my memory on how
but it's clearly possible to force a crash dump. That would allow us to dig into
exactly what went wrong, provided you can read the dump file (or the whole disk).

I did get some MACRO CRC-16 sub-routines coded up last night while waiting for various
transfers, so I think I?ll go ahead and finish up the standalone CRC dumper utility
today.
Lastly, a 5V-tolerant USB FIFO breakout board is supposed to show up in the mails today.
If that works out as simply as I hope to interface with a DR11-C, I should have a much
better way to blast bits on and off the machine soon.
Okay, finished up the standalone CRC utility, and verified (to very long odds) byte
identical contents between reading the physical pack on the machine and reading the
downloaded pack under SIMH. And that image doesn?t boot on real HW, but works under SIMH.
