I have the Morrow Design docs, but the software discussed is all for CP/M.
This box came with a bunch of BASIC and ASM programs that look like they
are intended to patch N*DOS for the 8" controller. Cannot find anything
out about them, though, thus the comment about trial and error.

Huh. Don't recall seeing anything about that, but will re-check.
Thanks to Dave Dunfield's fine work, I have
my Horizon system up and
running!
One thing still puzzles, me though: Is it possible to create and boot SD
diskettes on a DD system? When I boot at DD and bring up NST, it
cheerfully writes a SD diskette from an image. However, that image will
not boot. Should this work?
Yes, however you must forst format the disk as DD and when you do the copy
you must also specify DD for the destination. Its in the horizon DD manuals. Next hurdle is
getting the Morrow Disk Jockey 8" controller hooked in. Some
of the diskettes I received with the unit (none of which boot) have Basic
and ASM programs that look like they're intended as support for the DJ
controller. Without documentation, this is going to take a bit of
experimentation, I think.
Get docs as that will save a huge amount of time. They are likely on
Bitsavers or other archives.
