hello all,
received a box with a shugart 800-2 drive and some 8" floppies
containing IBM system/1 software and one from intel with ISIS-II
is this already online available or should I try to make images of them?
ibm disks:
rps pascal (2 of 2
ptf 5719-pc6-brg1 (2of 2)
s1-IWSRPS-RPS-VOL (1 of 1)
rps data entry system (5 of 5)
s/1 rps realtime pgmm sys v6 (1 of 1)
rps index acces method v2 (2of2)
s/1 rps realtime pgmm sys v6 (disks 21-24 of 24)
refresh-01-sm1 (1of1)
rps pgm preparation subsys v (disk 24 of 28)
the isis-II is version 3.4

Imaging of the Series 1 stuff would be good. Please scan the labels as well
ISIS-II will be difficult because it is M2FM encoded.

Only if it's double-density. ISIS-II was also distributed on SSSD
media. But reading the M2FM stuff isn't particularly difficult using
something like a Catweasel--the format is well-documented.

If you want to send them to the states, I'll be glad to image the M2FM
diskettes.

thanks for the offer, but i have a cryoflux nearby. seems like a good
oportunity to start the beast up. we already have several boxes of 8"
floppies waiting but we did not have a spare drive until now.

Does Kryoflux now have the ability to create a sector image from M2FM
encoding? I haven't kept up with it since my disappointing initial
experiences.

for what I know, cryoflux just grabs the flux changes and everything is
done afterwards.

Capturing the flux transitions is mechanical. Interpreting those flux
transitions to create a sector image is where the work comes in, and I
fear you may find that is not supported.
If it is, please let us know?
