How Can I Copy EII Service Disk's. ( Memory test / Scanner Test) ?

Re: How Can I Copy EII Service Disk's. ( Memory test / Scanner Test) ?

I've no EII at hand here on my job site, but if you start a diskcopy
on EII and exchange the source os disk with a service disk when the
display reads "start copy y/n" or whatever it was, it should copy the
service disk to the new disk. If not, you can read the disk with the
DIAG ROM into memory and write it back to an empty disk. I started
some conceptual work on a new DIAG ROM which would support direct disk
dump via serial using the z-protocol, but this will take a very long
time as I'm always busy with other things and the current DIAG ROM is
obviously mainly written from scratch, so needs some time to sort it
out. Anyhow, after optimizing the code, there should be about 3k free
for own extensions :-)
