That's fantastic news, thanks Paul.Thanks Nick for posting these. I was able to boot my Sirius from these images, so your archival process worked well!

Hi djg,For the command that gave the error you entered
l 100 2a8 1
my instruction was
l 100 2 2a8 1
The second were reading sector 0 twice so it isn't that informative. You will need to alternate the two commands.
Keep track of what output from the emulator goes with what command you executed in debug.
You can hit return and type annotations in the emulator window. What you enter will be ignored by the emulator.
Correct. If your hard drive is A change the highlighted 2 to 0.l 100 2 2a8 1 state the drive number, as the HDD in this emulation is A:\, should the '2' be a '0' then?
Thanks djgCorrect. If your hard drive is A change the highlighted 2 to 0.
Yes(load) L [address] [drive] [firstsector] [number] drive must be '0' in my case, does [number] refer to the amount of sectors to be loaded?
Can't answer that. Loading files it probably doing larger reads.I would be curious about an explanation why I can access the emulated HDD and execute DIR, which works fine, but cannot execute any files
I think its debug a:kermit.exeWould it be possible to load i.e. KERMIT.EXE by N a:KERMIT.EXE and see what happens then?
Hi all,I'm also running one of @djg 's emulators in my Sirius. Works great but I seem to have an early version of the Xebec card that doesn't seem to support any drives over 10Mb. Currently have the emulator configured with 10mb virtual drives.
Cheers,
Dave
It's certainly safer to start with a smaller disk size and see if that helps.Hi all,
might this be the problem on my emulation?
I trust, both of the emulations I use are >10MB.
Thanks,
Martin.
Hi Jaume,Good morning,
Another Victor 9000 owner here. Ours booted last time we checked but for space considerations we cannot deploy it in a permanent place. We have also some software for it. And also its original bulk case.
Not at this moment but whenever the system was deployed, could you tell me how could I help you?
Regards,
Jaume
As far as I remember, dual floppy (but my memory often fails).Hi Jaume,
welcome to this thread!
What V9K are you running? A dual Floppy or a Floppy HDD model?
In terms of Software, if you have Greaseweazle device and are able to make images of your software, @pdevine is archiving the software here:
This also a good source vice versa, without Paul's archive I wouldn't have got my Victor back to life quite easy.
If you have a HDD model, do you have a HDD image of your Disk or do you even run djg's HDD emulator?
Thanks and best regards,
Martin.
I like digital since it allows you to easily do single shot captures. If you post model/link I can comment on it. Early digital scopes aren't great.regarding the Oscilloscope: Does it have to be a Digital or analogue Unit?
I could get a HAMEG (German Brand) 2-Ch. Digital/Analogue for around 100USD.
Hi djg,To use git
cd /opt/mfm
git fetch origin debug:debug
git checkout debug
make
or can download zip file.
Didn't print too many lines. Did you get a directory or did you get an error? I think you showed DIR worked previously. Also did you previously get X98 (Bad Hard Disk Label) when trying to boot or did you get some other error?Changing from C:\ (Floppy) to A:\ (HDD) and executing DIR:
