[Techtoolslist] v6.1 dd image

Hey.

Does anyone have a copy of the v6.1 dd image pointed to here:
http://www.andys-arcade.net/personal/tech/fluke9100/index.htm
"DOWNLOAD THIS" link (task 14) doesn't exist on the server.

I ran some low-level scsi diags on the Quantum drive that came with my
9100FT and it's not sensing correctly.  So  I bought one of the
SCSI2SD (codesrc) adapters and a box of DD floppies but one of the two
1.44mb drives I had gathering dust appears to be totally dead and the
other I'm having no luck writing to (either from dos utils or
teledisk). I tried connecting the Fluke floppy drive to the PC (BIOS
configured as 720k) but that didn't work either.

The above dd image, even though it's for a CF card should probably
work on a SD.    Failing this,  I'll have to sort the floppies out.

And on this topic:  I noted the above page says "First off, system
v6.0 is the newest tested working distribution that works, 6.1 doesn't
work because the images were made from bad disks, don't bother with
it".

How does this correlate with  the "System_DiscsRV6.1" and
"System_DiscsRV6.1_VerifiedOK" folders on flippers.com,  especially
the second?   I searched for 6.1 in the mail-archives and couldn't
find any answers.

Finally, do I require a (scsi driver) ROM upgrade for the 9100FT?
The FT mainboard is different from the A, no u46/u47.     I assume the
equivalent FT is @U26,  mine is labelled v1.3 but I can't see anything
but the updated 5.0 A versions in the archives.

Thanks!
