For booting, maybe you're trying the wrong boot disk. I assume the previous owner was able to get it to boot? If so, he probably has a few boot disks... since this is an extended MM/1 system, you probably have 3-megs, so you may want to try the 3-meg boot disk, or any other disks you can find. If not, write me back and we'll see what we can do. For MM/1 disk sectors, you can extend the sector numbers up a ways. My sectors/track are set at 37, but I always format disks for 33 sct/trk if I'm sending someone else a disk... just in case. There was an error in a few versions of the driver that caused the gap between sectors to be a little too large, so you couldn't fit any more than 33 sct/trk. There is a good version out there. David Graham (BlackHawk Enterprises) is putting together a package of the latest drivers (all drivers). I believe all registration/ownership information was transferred to BlackHawk Enterprises from IMS, as was the official mailing list. -- Joel Mathew Hegberg.
