YESSS!! I've got CAPS-8 booting from the TU60! That was quite a bumpy road.
I had some contact with Doug Ingraham about inserting the TU60 driver (CSA.BN)
Inserting the driver wasn't the biggest problem, but saving the new bootstrap was...
Some disks have a message which they show when they boot.
You have to disable that before you can add system devices.
When you want to change your devices first run " SET SYS NO INIT " to disable any activity when booting.
Then " RUN SYS BUILD " to start the system builder.
Type " PRINT " to see what drivers are already in the system. You can load a maximum of 15 drivers.
Make sure that CSA.BN is on your disk and type " LOAD CSA.BN " to load the driver.
Then " INSERT TA8A:CSA0 " making cassette 0 visible in OS8.
Then " INSERT TA8A:CSA1 " making cassette 1 visible in OS8.
Use " UNLOAD devicename " to remove other drivers which you don't need. So you don't exceed the maximum of 15 devices.
Then enter " BOOTSTRAP " This writes the new bootstrap into memory, exits the program and load OS8.
Now it is important that you do not run anything. Just " SAVE SYS BUILD " to save the bootstrap contents from core into BUILD.
At last you can run " SET SYS INIT " if you had any startup programs.
Since I have done this on an RX01 disk image this disk image is on my
TA8E M8331 GutHub. So that is already done.
On this disk are also the files to make a CAPS8 cassette.
When booted from this disk run MCPIP to copy the files to tape.
.R MCPIP
*CSA0:</Z
*CSA0:C2BOOT<C2BOOT/B=10000
*CSA0:MONTOR<MONTOR/B=20000

*CSA0:EDIT<EDIT/B=10000
*CSA0:BASIC<BASIC/B=10000

To check the contents of the cassette within MCPIP:
*TTY:<CSA0:/L

And for those who are interested, I have some boards left, see my previous message...
