Yes, been through it with a fine "tooth comb". Tried all the boot disks, and
boot disk creators, utility disks. Well the ones related to the LANstations.

There's more to it than the basic channel code.
IBM 3740 and Ohio Scientific 8-inch both use "true FM" for the channel
code, but they aren't compatible.
The HP 9895 M2FM and Intel M2FM
XDFCOPY.EXE from that BonusPak ISO isn't working on my ImageDisk rig; it says
it can't format track 0. I think I'll try reinstalling DOS 6.22 on the PS/2
temporarily to see if I can write out the XDF disks there. Or maybe I'll try
PC-DOS 7 if I can find it.

Warp 3 requires a 386SX with 4MB at minimum. Connect will work with a 386

Here is a link to an IBM Redbook on the subject, covering all of this in
great detail.

You've lost me there. Both HP and Intel were true MMFM; the RX02 was

I still use a computer with Windows 98 SE and a native serial port for terminal
emulation. The program that I use is not free but it does more varieties of
terminal emulation, and does them better than any other emulator that I have
used - ProComm Plus. I have owned it for about twenty years.

drive, but no software. It has an A1416A Color VRX DIO-II "Kathmandu"

a console. Does the DE9 serial console use the IBM pinout? Do I have
to pull the A1416A
