- Hi old-time CP/M'ers! I try to rarely spend time on Usenet (too much
- else to do, and Usenet can be too addictive), but it's nice to see a
- CP/M group here!
-
- Anyway, I used to use a Morrow MD-11 (at the time of purchase, circa
- 1984, it was far more powerful than just about anything else out
- there); I haven't used or needed it for some years, but I've recently
- wanted to pull some old files off of it (most of them in LBR format).
- Trouble is, the old thing just won't boot. I get a "Data Not Found"
- error regardless of whether I try to boot off the hard disk or an
- original distribution floppy.
-
- Unfortunately, I put all the manuals I had out in the recycling bin
- some months ago, so I can't just look up the answer to my dilemma.
-
- In any case, does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone know which
- jumpers to change to conduct diagnostics on this lovely dinosaur? Or,
- if the problem is the disk controller (which seems likely), does
- anyone have any suggestions whatsoever as to how it might possibly be
- fixed?
-
- I'll try to check this newsgroup, but private responses would be
- especially appreciated.
-
- Thanks in advance, and cheers to those keeping the CP/M flame,
-
- Michael
