I will look into mounting the IBM WD12 disk image in linux and kpartx and see if there is anything useful.
Currently I am using a gotek with a CPM 2.2 image to boot the SuperSix. I am trying to format/copy a new 8" floppy disk to boot from but the machine keeps having problems. After a few minutes the machine locks up or I get 'Cold Boot error' or things like that and have to reset the system. I have to do some more testing to determine if it is a memory problems or another bad chip. I also need to replace the capacitors that I snipped. Also still have the possibility of a short on the 5volt rail. I used an earlier suggestion about checking for hot chips. I have a thermal camera that showed a few PAL chips getting to 130 degrees F. I pulled them and for each chip I pull the current goes down about 20mA. The card idles at about 2 amps.
I am thinking Turbo Dos might be interesting since The Super six has all of the ram to play with. I am assuming I need a ADC SuperBios for TurboDos? I am still in search of more ADC SuperSix software. Right now I have 1 image to boot from.
More work ahead. I need to figure out this lock up problem and I will update my findings.
Thank you to everyone for the help.
