The disks read fine (thanks again), as far as I can tell.

But, numerous attempts to get the data onto the drive have been 
unsuccessful.

I boot the unit with disk 1.
CP/M 2.2
"submit reload"
-> putsys
-> putovl
-> findbad
-> findbad
Now, sometimes it warm boots and does not finish, but I just tried it 
again and it then does:
pip b:=a:*.*[g1ov]
NOT FOUND A:*. *G10V

"user 10"
"dir"
shows no files

I am sure it's a simple issue, but I've just had so little success I 
figure it's time to pay for someone to help, and get it off my bench 
(it's been sitting for ages, as I got so frustrated with it a while 
back, I left it so I would not toss it out the window in anger).

If I boot with the disk out of the drive, I do get a boot on the HDD, so 
I think the HDD and the controller are OK.
