All,
I recently picked up an ICE-85 in-circuit emulator from Jack Rubin (thanks Ian and Connor
for ferrying it back!). I thought that the stuff it came with included a Prompt-80 as a
controller, but it does not: there's an unrelated Prompt-48 board in the boxes. The
ICE-85 came with ISIS control software on 8" diskette. So I guess I'm in the
market for an Intel MDS-800. Good luck, right? :P
Thanks,
Jonathan

Here is an MDS-720. Note the drives inside are Shugart 800 seriers. I
would think the 800's would be Shugart-compatible if not actually Shugart
drives inside.

Maybe you could try a set of drives set to be 720's and see if that gets
you going.

I have a few Intellec MDS Series II development systems. They can host an ICE-85. I?d
sell you one. They are VERY heavy. I?m in Michigan.

If you only need a single drive and it is single density floppies, you don't need a
MSD-800 and a MSD-720 to run the ICE-85. You can use what we call a Series II. It came
with a small number of multibus slot. As I recall, we used to run ICE-80s and ICE-85 on a
Series II. We may have had the drive boxes as well but I don't recall that much.
