I'd like to remind everyone that some sector-wise 11/780 console floppy
images (boot, diagnostics, standalone backup, a couple 3rd-party drivers,
etc.) I've collected over the years are stashed at
ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/11780flops/
If anyone knows of other diagnostics floating around on the web I'm
interested.
I have some partial tape images of VAXPAX that I've never quite indexed.
Tim.
