Subject: Morrow MD-11 woes

Hi old-time CP/M'ers!  I try to rarely spend time on Usenet (too much
else to do, and Usenet can be too addictive), but it's nice to see a
CP/M group here!

Anyway, I used to use a Morrow MD-11 (at the time of purchase, circa
1984, it was far more powerful than just about anything else out
there); I haven't used or needed it for some years, but I've recently
wanted to pull some old files off of it (most of them in LBR format).
Trouble is, the old thing just won't boot.  I get a "Data Not Found"
error regardless of whether I try to boot off the hard disk or an
original distribution floppy.

Unfortunately, I put all the manuals I had out in the recycling bin
some months ago, so I can't just look up the answer to my dilemma.

In any case, does anyone have any suggestions?  Does anyone know which
jumpers to change to conduct diagnostics on this lovely dinosaur?  Or,
if the problem is the disk controller (which seems likely), does
anyone have any suggestions whatsoever as to how it might possibly be
fixed?

I'll try to check this newsgroup, but private responses would be
especially appreciated.

Thanks in advance, and cheers to those keeping the CP/M flame,

Michael
