Can't help on that no docs for that board.

The MDS-AD is a double density controller...ok there.

Now the disks can be formatted as 48tpi or 96 tpi as the controller will
support most 5.25 drives and if the drive is wrong...

Personalizing, if they were set up for different IO they may not work on
you NS*.

< Any other tips to help out?

Get docs! Your working blind without them.
