What is known — real floppy, decoded¶
Floppy 210865B00-EN-01D (downloaded via NDwiki, imaged by Torfinn "Tingo" Ingolfsen; reported
"errors" by the imager, but it mounted and read cleanly in this session) contains seven relocatable
modules:
MRC-MAIN1-EN-B00:NRF through MRC-MAIN7-EN-B00:NRF
Sizes range from ~1.5 KB (MAIN2) up to ~256 KB (MAIN4, by far the largest — likely the core
interpreter). No :MODE/:BATC install script, no DESCRIPTION-FILE, and no installer :PROG
were found — a bare runtime module set only.
Documentation¶
- No PD sheet, no PI sheet located specific to the ND-500 version (see ND-10145 for the general MERCUR PI sheet).
Provenance & open items¶
- Source: one real floppy image, downloaded via NDwiki and decoded in this session
(
ndfs -t/ndtool -x). - TODO: no install procedure could be recovered.
