Just a follow-up in case anyone is interested...
I finally made it to Toronto this past weekend and picked up the Morrows.
In total, there were 7 machines, of which one was given to York university.
I received 6 Micro Decision machines of which two are MD-2's, and 4 are MD-3's,
All appear to work!
I also received 5 terminals, 3 Morrow OEM versions of the "Liberty 100", one
Morrow MDT-60 (can't find any other manufactorer name), and a Morrow OEM
ADM-20 by Leir Siegler. I haven't tested all of them yet, but the ADM-209
does work.
The "mistery" machine was not an MD-11, it was another MD-2 with the odd looking
2/3 height SA-200 drives, and paired with the ADM-20 terminal - this is in fact
the exact configuration shown in all of the Morrow advertising materials for the
MD's that I have been able to locate.
There is a fair bit of software, including a CP/M edition of Wordstar for which
the diskette packet has never been opened!
I also have a full compliment of Morrow manuals.
Still have lots to go over - Pics and other material will appear on my site within
the next few weeks. I'd be interested in corresponding with anyone having experience
with Morrows, especially the MD series.
Please see my next posting for a inquiry involving a "floppy drive oddity".
