Intel MDX 431A system and ISIS/Intel Disk collection - sold

Collection sold, disks imaged and archived

I have other Multibus cards and manuals available on this linked Web page.

This Web page lists an Intel MDX 431A system for ICE-51 development with disks and docs sold in 2006. It included a collection of Intel ISIS format diskettes. Some of those diskettes used a rare and early form of double density used by Intel on ISIS called M2FM / MMFM. Details of M2FM and those diskettes are discussed on this linked Web page. This Web page last updated Oct 1 2012. - Herb Johnson

Intel MDX 431A development system, docs and disks

The system and disk collection on this page was sold in 2006. I have previously refered those interested in disks or manuals to the buyer. In 2008 he was able to read most of the diskettes, the ones in single-density format. The 8" DD M2FM / MMFM diskettes were not possible to read at that time except with original Intel hardware and software. By January 2010, he was able to read the M2FM diskettes, with special hardware and software: images of those disks are in Al Kossow's "bitsavers.org" archive.

See this Web page on M2FM / MMFM for details.They include discussion of the new hardware and software used to recover the diskettes and where to find the imaged disks, and that software and hardware.

The docs are listed here for reference; the diskettes are not, refer to the image archive for those.

Intel ISIS and other diskettes

The Intel diskettes described below were sold in Aug 2006, with the system listed above. They were not part of the Series IV system; they are a seperate collection of old Intel diskettes. Later, they were imaged by the owner, and most of the images archived at Al Kossow's bitsaver.org Web site in subdirectories and "tar" files in the Intel section. Details are discussed on this linked Web page. I'm not responsible for the state of those files and archives, I regret any confusion. Below is a list of the diskettes as I cataloged them when I had them, based on Intel-printed information on the lables on the diskettes themselves. - Herb
