Apropos to the discussion of Don Maslin's archives, I need a bootable
disk image for a Kaypro II with the Advent TurboROM (Plu*Perfect
Systems) The Advent hard disk formatter would be a plus, but right now
I'd be happy just to boot CP/M on the thing.
FWIW, it's got one original SSDD floppy drive, a Rodime 252F hard
disk and an Advent .5MB RAM drive. It's the v3.0 TurboROM.

Since Don passed away I've been trying to collect boot disks, while I have a
couple of Kaypro disks I don't have the Advent ones.
If you ever get copies please let me know, I can even write software to copy
the ROM to disk.

Urrk. So this guy won't boot from a standard Kaypro II system disk
at all?
I picked this up from Jim Battle over the weekend (Thanks, Jim!),
knowing that the Rodime drive was developing bad sectors. It *was*
booting to a string of Bad Sector errors and a prompt, but we didn't
have a head-park utility, and now it won't boot at all - stops at a
"Boot Error".
I have access to an Osborbe Executive and apparently Media Magic, and
there are a couple of ARK archives on the Simtel mirrors for the Advent
TurboROM. Is there anyway to generate a boot disk from that?
