What sort of failure or problem are you getting? What does libdsk expect for a raw image, and what disk geometry did you give it? Also, each track in...
Yes, so much of computer history has been lost - possibly forever. We'll see if somebody stumbles across that set of diskettes someday - and they are...
I'll just say that I had to fudge a lot in order to get it working on my simulator, I was doctoring the HDD image manually. Not so easy to do on real...

I don't know about the LOCI card reader, but the similar produce for the Wang 600/520 allowed you run run several cards through the reader to create...
