NSdos is what I plan on doing the initial tests of the
machine with anyway, given it's smaller memory requirement. It's
manuals seem to do a decent job at describing how to config it for
various hardware. With luck, at least one of these hard-sectored
diskettes will still prove usable!

Actually no. NSdos was a simpler file system but
actually robust and
very fast. It lacked editor/assember/debugger but did have a good set of
diags for ram, monitor and NS* BASIC. Which for it's time was pretty
good. Also it could boot in as little as 4k of ram and run basic in 24k.
