Tenox, I think you might be interested in this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wyse-Unix-System-V-386-Base-System-Software-For-D386-On-Tape-NOS-/131342178387?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e949a9853. I managed to find a tape copy of Wyse Unix. I don’t know the condition of the tape, but it’s worth a look!

In reply to tenox. yeah "imdu" will work, but I'm talking about "imd", the main executable. ;)

WYSEBOOTraw.zip works in bochs, but it print black text on black screen, I have to use Copy button to see the screen contents.
BTW it fails to boot in vbox 4.1.16.

I have uploaded result of imdu /b.
I have tried Bochs 2.3 – weird characters. Bochs 2.4 blank screen. Qemu 1.1 and 1.2 – blank screen. Can you try other emulators? Or perhaps I’m converting or running it in a wrong way.

In reply to Roy. Michal told me that "imdu /b" produces good disk image.

In reply to joedemo42. Actually you can contribute! First of all Michal has done great but manual job of converting IMD to RAW format. It would be best if someone tried to convert the image using ImageDisk and write it back to a virtual floppy disk in Qemu or Bochs. Note this has to be 1.2MB floppy output.

Good luck with finding the other floppies!
