I am thinking of acquiring two Altos machines (986 and 886) which don't boot (a swap with some other machines I have) and as I already have a working Altos 586 I was thinking of perhaps cloning that harddisk.
Now, I have not checked yet which harddisk it has but if it is MFM that would be possible with a solution like DREM.

But I was wondering if there were any other solutions that can emulate an MFM harddisk ?
 
Indeed I think the other links point to the same excellent product.

here is the google group https://groups.google.com/u/5/g/mfm-announce

I've used it extensively to provide MFM emulation for cromemco, and as (cromemco) fans will appreciate the STDC hard disk controller did not even use sectors (just tracks) and it worked there.

So surely Altos emulation would be a /piece of cake?/

Edit, ik zie dat je Nederlandstalige folders op je site hebt :D
Ik heb hier nog folders/prijzen van de Altair 8800 in het Nederlands.
Misschien kan ik er een scan van maken als je dat leuk vindt...

Thanks for the offer Roland but for my brochure collection it won't fit as that only contains brochures I actually own.
BUT, as there doesn't seems to be a lot of Altos dedicated pages around I though of creating one myself.
Soooo, yes, its welcome :) And is this Roland from CVML ? ;)
