I'm assuming you are trying to use the newly added HP-UX images on bitsavers? I haven't tried those yet, but I don't remember doing anything special, the install CD is already bootable. I have a V/382 (AFAIK virtually identical with the 9000/382 except for the form factor), and it boots straight

Interesting. I've got a Micropolis 1115-VI floppy drive with this same MOS chip, 2 MHz crystal and all--but with a Micropolis ID. Probably not of any interest to the general hacker public. I believe it manages the buffered seek on the drive. --Chuck

I've got a Horizon so native console is no problem. I originally got Dave Dunfield's NST working with my IMSAI and Dajen SCI monitor board, on a North Star MDC single-density controller. I couldn't get NST configured properly with the Dajen monitor (you're supposed to be able to give it a format

Yeah, you do need a monitor or something to get started on either Mike Douglas's solution or Dave Dunfield's NST. I've used both successfully. If you have hard-sectored disks, I can just make you a boot disk. I have both single and double density controllers. Thanks, Jonathan On Wed, Jul 4,
