I am trying to figure out a way to copy the very few Monroe disks I have. I want to put them online on Dave's site.
This is for the Monroe OC8820
I have tried both Imagedisk and Copy II pc and everything fails. At least with default settings. There is only one index hole and I don't think there is anything special about the media.
Searching around online the only reference I can find is for some program called 22disk that converted cp/m formats. It had a entry for what it calls the Monroe 8800 series. Anything look out of the ordinary below ? I am trying to copy a known good boot disk. I have tested after a couple of tries at copying and it still works. It is starting to show wear on the surface though. I'm getting scared to keep beating on it and had to clean the drives heads.
BEGIN MON1 Monroe 8800 Series - SSDD 96 tpi 5.25"
DENSITY MFM,LOW
CYLINDERS 80
SIDES 1
SECTORS 16,256
SIDE1 0 1,5,9,13,2,6,10,14,3,7,11,15,4,8,12,16
BSH 4 BLM 15 EXM 1 DSM 153 DRM 63 AL0 080H AL1 0 OFS 3
END
