I decided to pull out the CCS system and check.  I'd forgotten as it
smaller than most s100 crates and it gets tucked away easily.  It does
do 5.25" though the docs refer to 8" disti media only.

The Eprom on mine has the MOSS monitor and boot, IO expects standard CCS.
If you have CCS IO you at least have a monitor.
