    I have recently obtained an IMSAI computer for fun, and I am having
trouble getting it to boot anything.  It has three 5 1/4" disk drives, and
I have aligned one of them, but I still can't get it to boot.  I received
about 40 disks with the system, but I think they may all be bad since they
haven't been used for around eight years.  Everything else seems to be ok
(computer accesses drive 0), so I have concluded that the disks have to 
be bad.  Does anyone out there in net-land still have an S100 computer
with a Northstar controller???  I would appreciate any help I can get.
I would be willing to buy a copy of Northstar CPM if anyone still has
it.  Thanks in advance!
