Well, I now have a 3B2/310 that will power up and talk to a serial terminal. I have two
hard drives, but neither one works - one makes horrible squealing noises, the other only
makes annoying squealing noises... I really need the Devtools floppy to boot and format
hard drives, so I can install another disk. I did manage to track down a disk image of a
diagnostic disk, containing FILLEDT, but I can't get it to run the program from disk,
it hits a firmware error. This might be intended for some other 3B2. I also found the SCSI
tools disk, which only formats SCSI hard drives. I need the Devtools floppy intended for
the MFM drives. Does anyone have a disk image of this floppy, preferably in ImageDisk
format?
Thanks!
