I have a newer version of ndfs, let's see what it says about the image now

Ok, at least I know that something is wrong with the image.

2016

I took out the hard drive from the ND-110, connected it to my SCSI machine, and made an image of the disk (516 MB / 540 MB) with dd:

root@music1# dd if=/dev/da0 of=/home/tingo/work/sintran_iii_m05_q_lps540.image bs=2048
264404+0 records in
264404+0 records out
541499392 bytes transferred in 409.213307 secs (1323269 bytes/sec)

I transferred this image to my workstation and ran ndfs on it:

tingo@kg-core1$ ndfs -V
ndfs: Sintran Filesystem tool version 1.1
tingo@kg-core1$ ndfs -i sintran_iii_m05_q_lps540.image

that doesn't look good.

The image is as large as the hard drive (I'm guessing there is a lot of empty space in it):

tingo@kg-core1$ ll -h *image
-rw-r--r--  1 tingo  users  -  516M Jul 16 23:23 sintran_iii_m05_q_lps540.image

That's it for now.

The image is available here (376 MB, gzipped) in case anyone wants to analyze it further.

Good image

A "good" image looks like this:

tingo@kg-core1$ ndfs -i ND110-satellite-9883-21251-132MB.raw
Directory name            : PACK-ONE
Object file index pointer : 30716 SI: 0x1 (indexed)
User file index pointer   : 30718 SI: 0x1 (indexed)
Bit file pointer          : 30510 SI: 0x0 (contiguous)
No. of unreserved pages   : 616
Directory size: 60817 pages
Bit file size : 4 pages

For what it is worth.

Second start attempt

It tried to start with & and $ from OPCOM, but got the same errors.

error messages

First start attempt

After SINTRAN III install succeded (on the 9883.21005 machine), I tried to start it by giving "22!" on the console, like this

22!

(no ENTER key). Unfortunately I get these errors:

***** FATAL ERROR:
 DISC TRANSFER ERROR IN SEGMENT HANDLING. *****
DEVICE NO.: 2210 T REGISTER: 60 STATUS: 5020

***** FATAL ERROR:
 DISC TRANSFER ERROR IN SEGMENT HANDLING. *****
DEVICE NO.: 2210 T REGISTER: 60 STATUS: 5020

Now I must figure out what this error means.

I also tried by starting with the first floppy again and the giving

)HENT
22!

at the console, but I got the same errors.
