part way through working on it i passed out woke up 7hrs later at 3in the morning lol
did i mention i was tinkering with it in my bedroom? witch has my pdp8 and asr33 set up but thats beside the point

anyhow i woke up and went on the web and proceeded to see if i could find any other versions of the referance disk to my luck i found 1.04 huray even put the image on the disk its self with the speacial sectors on it
