you have a Decision 1. MD-{1,2,3,11,34, etc) are single board
computers. i have 2 of these suckers and they have a very nice
floppy controller and a fairly surreal cpu card (z80 with mmu).

if you have the morrow cp/m for this sucker, you should be able to 
read northstar hard sector 5.25 inch disks directly. the most
current cbios i have seen is version 3.1E. 

>Has anyone installed DateStamper for this machine?

no, but i am interested in this as well. in addition, i would
like source code to a date/time stamper to add to my heavily
hacked cpm-86.

ron jacobs, an ex-morrow employee will gladly sell you for a
few bucks, a ramdisk driver. his last phone number was:
(415) 525-0212  (berkeley, california).

>Finally, has anyone upped the hard drive to a workable size?

it should be possible, given cbios and mwformat source.
i have both, if you tell me where to send it. (or, i could e-mail
it to you) (legal eagles: is this legit? morrow is no more)
