Don't think that will work....different machines, different interfaces, even.
The Series 5 was a later machine, by a few years...
The Series 5 media, btw, is DS/QD 5.25" 96tpi, which you will have a REALLY FUN time interfacing to the 8000.
Check
here for "altos.zip," which has the CP/M and diagnostic disk images, in TeleDisk format, for the ACS-8000.
Now whether this is ONLY for the FDD-only 8000 series, I don't know.
If you're going to be monkeying around with 8" disks, might I suggest the following:
1) Get a PC, like a Pentium 75mHz, with at least 2-3 ISA slots
2) Acquire a CompatiCard IV card
3) go to
dbit.com and order their FDADAP adapterm to connect 8" drives to your PC in item #1.
What I did in the past, was have the 8000 open next to the PC, unplugged the FDD cable from the 8000 mainboard, and plugged it into the FDADAP. I then connected a cable from the FDADAP to the CC-IV, and powered it. This allowed me to read+write the 8" floppies from the PC to the 8" drives.
It works - I've done it in the past. The 8000 is tucked out of the way in the garage, though, so I can't get to it at present, but it DOES work. I was even able to read SS disks for the Tandy 6000 or 16, forgot which, and image it out.
