Yeah, I had an LSI-11/23 when I was a student, with dual 8 inch drives and a Fujitsu drive (not an Eagle, it was 160Mb if I remember). This was all cobbled together equipment, but lots of fun trying to get it to work.

My bootstrap code loaded the first block from a floppy which had the boot code on it. The result was much easier to type, and I ended up with that boot code as a script so my much more powerful Amiga I was using as a terminal emulator could replay the boot code to start the machine.

Happy days!
