| Will Sowerbutts has created a set of 4 images which can be concatenated into one and written to CF. It was derived from the PiDP-8/I software repository. It looks very complete and includes instructions on how to create the images. To install the combined image first download this - [[https://retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=boards:sbc:sbc6120-rbc-edition:sbc6120-disk-images-2017-12-28.zip|sbc6120-disk-images-2017-12-28.zip - OS/8 Image with 4 disks created by Will Sowerbutts]] . Then unzip the archive and change directory to “2017-12-28”. Write the combined image called “sbc6120-combined.img” to your CF card using 'Win32DiskImages“ when working under MS Windows or “dd” when working under Linux. When you boot OS/8 there are 4 disks available: “SYS:”, “IDA1:”, “IDA2:” and “IDA3:”. | Will Sowerbutts has created a set of 4 images which can be concatenated into one and written to CF.
