I doubt you'll be able to use anything other than a RD51 drive - as
this ancient V7M doesn't yet support newer drive types. You might
be able to put some of the system files on an RL02 - but I haven't confirmed
there's a RL02 boot loader on this kit.
Interesting. Given that it's MSCP it should

I wonder if it supports at least an RD51, since those arrived together with the

Yes, it did. Venix 1.0 ran on a RD51 and was a LOT faster. I keep the
RD50 around mostly as a "good god, is this faster than a floppy"
conversation piece.
Chances are it would be noticeably faster with an
