Re: Emulator II, serial number 53

Hi, congrats on picking up your EII. The Northstar disks will have the
OS on them to boot the EII but only when you can sort out a FDD.
Unfortunately, 5.25" drives are VERY hard to come by. Look on the
database here for compatible models. Alternatively, you can pick up a
3.5" FDD kit here:

...but you'll still need some a kind EII owner with a 3.5" FDD on
their own EII to copy you a disk for booting.  

Good luck.
