Title: bad MO drive in NeXTcube or how to read nextstep mo disks
Post by: wbyte on August 09, 2023, 06:35:43 AM
Hello,

I recently acquired a NeXTcube with 2 MO disks with NeXTStep 1.0a or at least what's the labels say.
When I try to boot from od it says "bad disk" and ejects. However when I insert them on running NeXTStep the system hangs. As I have no experience with NeXT systems I suspect this indicated bad MO or may be not ?

Is there any trick to read/dump the 1.0a MO disks. My generic SCSI MO Drive doesn't seems to like them

Thanks !

All next MO drives should be considered DOA unless refurbished.
