Hello,

There was no Noritake-primo disks until today. Noritake-primo and
noritake are sufficiently different that one rescue disk cannot
replace the other, which explains the message you saw.

Please try the noritake-p set from http://lhpca.univ-lyon1.fr/axp and
tell us how it works.

Regards,

Loic
