I have no idea. I was at my parents at weekend and took a look onto my MDS manuals.
So tomorrow I can tell you what I have. The manuals are dated from 1977 to 1979.
My MDS systems are at another location but in the next month I'll bring them home.
Than i'll fire them on and see if I can make systemdisks - if that works I need hard sectored disks to make
copies for you and they are very seldom to find.
