I've heard LCM has written some code to load it from the Alto pack images that I created. Dug out my list of serial numbers, and it isn't one that I've seen before. It probably is a 3K XM unit, but who knows, since the seller is clueless, and doesn't know the installed card compliment is critical to getting it running. It's pretty much impossible to get a broken one running without a known good card set to isolate problems with, since it was assumed that debugging would be done with the shop test Alto that had special hardware debug sauce. I'm also assuming whoever has it reads this list, since the BIN just happens to match what I've been offered for the machines that I still have.

We used to swap packs between Diablo?s and RK05?s all the time. We had third party Qbus controller (18bit!) on an 11/73 and an RK11D on a PDP11/34. Never had an interchange problem. Jerry
