I second the motion on Tommy Lanier's BIOSes and XIOS for MP/M-86 - excellent and very reasonably priced, though you must have a little hacker in you to bring it up cleanly (why have an S-100 system if you aren't a hacker?) I am running both standard 8" and minifloppies on my Gifford MP/M-816 system; this requires two Disk-1 controllers! Hopefully, the Disk-1A will get around this problem, but I think the board is about as real as the SPU-Z (meaning not yet released). I can read IBM or Morrow MD formats on the mini, useful now that DRI is distributing theor software on IBM compatible minis.
