Bill,
Sorry, I understand now. Assuming you have the confirmed ability to
make a disk from DSK image you found a corrupted DSK file. Gotcha. I
am kind of busy at the moment, but I do have the disk you need, the
actual disk. If you find no other source I could image mine for you.
Otherwise

I searched for "montezuma 2.2 hard drive install" on Google:

Where are you located? We have a small amount of Modcomp docs here and
could take on a box more of the most useful paper docs for posterity-sake,
to round out what's already here.
Thanks

Find a working vms system and back up the drives to your
externally-attached drive (s) to clone them. Migrate the cloned drives to
your system. This is a simplified statement of what's really involved but
if you can get to a similar system to your dec whatever you have, I'd
attempt the clone

I have simply opened and physically moved the disk counter clockwise a
turn, in a clean dust-free place. Or try putting in an oven on warm for 3
minutes a side, all four sides to loosen the grease. Might sound crazy but
these have worked for me before

program:

If there is interest, please download and create a disk and try to use the
disk on your Attache or MAME emulating an Otrona Attache. Let me know if
you run
Fred,
Just for the purpose of imaging the disks, is there any reason I cant treat
these disks like any other 5 1/4" cpm 360k disk?

Was there a UNIBUS storage system that used a cassette player as the
storage device (like an old Panasonic or RadioShack cassette player),
rigged to send receive signals via a serial card connection. I.e. the
system would have one serial card for the terminal and another serial card
on a
Is there a simh for the otrona attache? I have some.disk images created
with Dunfield's utility..if not I will try to read them by using the Zorba
portable, which is pretty good with varied formats.

This seller just had that kind of cruddy 11/05 for sale recently, this item
is in nicer shape, but I would not expect it to work "out of the box". It
may have been the companion RAM to the 11/05. I have a similar set up for
my 11/40 (in full sized chassis, etc. but same principle).
On Fri, Aug
pretty cool

I have Motorola's "linear circuits" and "interface circuits" from 1979, but
actual Semiconductor Data Books I only have are from 1969-1973.

I would think Herb would have some valuable input, but I do know with the
SA800's there are a lot of jumpers, they vary based on the rev of the
board, and you want to be sure that the loading of the heads is not jumper
dependent. NOTING that I am only being logical not technical. I would
