One thing to look for is a Western Digital 1781/83 controller. That's the one
they advertised (I hope they shipped 'em) in their 1982 databook for use with
M^2FM. The fact I've never seen one doesn't suggest you'll have much luck,
but
if you do see one, that's the one that handles that particular modulation.

Standard CP/M on 8" is the right bios but.... The
right media
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.

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?
