You can boot the 9100 from floppies - I've done it with a hard drive
unplugged. Not sure if you can over-ride the boot sequence if a HD is
connected, if there is a key sequence I am not familiar with it (nice to
know!).

Won't hurt to unplug the HD of course.

Service V6 sounds like the latest one (might even be a copy from the FTP
site like Martin mentioned!), if you can compare it with the TTL copy
that would be nice...
