I'm trying to view files on an old SCSI drive from a MVME166-011A system.
I made a drive image in Linux with dd. Now I'm trying to figure out a compatible "mount type" to use with it.
Nothing has worked so far.
I am viewing the image file in a hex editor to see if there are any hints at the start of the drive. It looks like a very simple layout, possibly created by the debugger program that's built into the system.
The disk starts off with 37 "00"s, then "vmex", then another 200 "00"s before "MOTOROLA". That is all in what I think is the first secotor (512 bytes). The next sector looks like a file tree, it starts with "WFast Filsys", but I don't know if this is a hint on the file system type, or just a file on disk.
Hopefully somebody here will recognize these terms.
I have another post on the hardware:

Thanks in advance,
