I've been looking at the various means if creating a disk from image.. but given the
hardware required and rigging it all up.. I'd rather just obtain a copy somewhere i
think.

If an MDS225 was "upgraded" with the double

I've seen several that were upgraded that way.
Yeah, I remember both the DD and SD versions of the board set--and I
remember how hot the channel board ran.? One of the first questions I
asked on the VCF posting was whether or not the OP had the DD board
set--kind of hard to miss.? He reported that he did not, so he's running
off the 8271 built-in controller.
If he was using the DD board set, that would create an interesting
issue, as it uses MMFM, not MFM for encoding.? Not something easily done
on a PC.
Fortunately, it's clear that plain old SSSD disks will work just
fine--and he can probably use a PC to write the images to disk.
