Thanks Gerhard!

So are you saying that the WG software is based on DOS 6.0? I'm having a very difficult time making a boot disk, naturally if I dump linux (All in One) onto a floppy it boots fine, but getting DOS or these files in the "Service Disk" on XDevs to boot is another issue entirely. Does anyone have a .img file of the service disk I can just _dd_?

Gerhard_dk4xp:
I think it is 6.22.
I can send you my files, but no guaranty that anything works.
My address is  #dk4xp#at#arcor#.#de

Cheers, Gerhard
Gerhard_dk4xp:
Alex, the mail to you bounces b/c of dangerous contents, even with zips.
alexturner:
Hmm, that's weird. Maybe easiest to upload to Google drive and share the link or dropbox?

So having not properly read the service manuals I thought there was reference to my HDD Controller Issue being connected to the SRAM B: drive. I managed to get a DOS 6.22 disk imaged and copied the service disk files across. In the process I have formatted my B: drive, whether or not it was already empty is another question entirely. DIR on B: read nothing previously and after the format. The seller of this unit mentioned that when he bought it, it came with floppies which he may still have and is in the process of packing up everything in his house, so we may have luck there.

I have the same challenges as Gerhard. I can boot into a DOS disk and see the contents of the C: drive, however, the unit won't boot citing a HDD Controller Error. Not sure what to do next
