Excellent, now you can put it in a box until the apocalypse happensfinally got a desktop.
found an image of an argo formatted zip here
and wrote it to the parallel drive on a win98 laptop using the 2nd program here
used rpcemu running risc402 to obtain the files as described here
zipped the files in rpcemu then copied to a usb stick and transferred to a rpi running risc5 and unzipped them to the argo formatted disk using a usb zip250 drive.
and hey it just fired straight up.
thank god for archive.org
I had the opportunity for a IBX250 in a charity shop and kind of realised I don't need to collect more Acorn stuff.
Being gifted the NCOS has just laid down, be careful what Acorn stuff you pick up, it's not all "it'll work out of the box"
And to be honest it's gotten worse with the newer arm hardware. I spend at least a year moving to new hardware with what I do, no Linux or Window CE support, no easy ride, although if it's taught me anything, the quality given by those ecosystems is shocking (it is bodge and scarper), so some merit in going it alone
