Hi guys!,

Go easy on me, I'm new here and don't know the ropes yet :S

I have an old Intel RMX Sys86/330 system (white cabinet)which I'd got
working a few years back, but has fallen over again.

All I'm really interested in is getting the data (mostly ASM source)on the
hard drive onto a PC. I also have boxes full (heaps!) of 8" floppies for
this system that I'd like to get the data off and over to a PC.

I've searched classiccmp archives and google and can't find quite what I'm
after, though I did find ppl trying to run 3.5" and 5.25" fdd's on 8"
systems.

What I'd like to be able to do is connect my 8" HDD to a PC and D/L all the
data directly - likewise with the 8" FDD. Am I wasting my time, or is this
possible? Making interfaces / electronics is no problem, and I have all the
gear like CRO, logic probe, etc.

Hard drive is -
Priam Model 3450-10
8" HDD

Floppy disk drive is -
Mitsubishi Model M2894-63D June 83
8" FDD
I believe this is DSDD based on some of the disks I have.


Any help would be appreciated

Regards

Grant Mc :o)
