Thanks.

I can't see why it wouldn't be possible.

I'll bet it'd be very, very difficult to figure out the spaces for the teeth.

No need to machine a shift disc for shifting Shimano derailers with
Campy levers. Visit the HubBub site for Brian Jenkins setup on this
system. I've used it numerous times with success every time.

The early Sachs system was rebadged Campagnolo (the pointy
Ergo) and in some versions compatible with Shimano of that era.

With current Ergos,there is a host of experimental data for
mixed systems.

One route to using your Shimano nine wheels is simply a
Campagnolo Nine Ergo and a Campagnolo rear changer. We use
Wippermann chain with that, Vecchio's uses Shimano chain. At
any rate, there are a lot of bikes with that setup. You
needn't go to extreme measures.

Well, probably possible to make a disc that is shimano compatible, to fit into
a ERGO lever but why? Recent compatibility shows that it really isn't
necessary. Just get a Campagnolo rear der, shimano cogset, go ride.

you can use separate cogs and replace the spacers with campy spacers. then you
have the right distance.

Still, there is a certain elegance to the idea of a Shimano shift
disk.

I have gathered some more experience recently on Sachs-Shimano
compatibility. I was able to get my hands on two NOS Sachs
derailleurs. One was an older ARIS Rival and the other an all-alloy
version of the Quarz. The Rival did not work particularly well with
the 7s Shimano setting on my Morphos shifters but the Quarz works
essentially perfectly. I am still curious about where the different
versions of the New Success derailleurs fall out. There is also
another variable in this unscientific experiment, the superior quality
of the Quarz over the Rival.

The Quarz was built in a short cage road version but what was the
shifter for it? Doesn't seem like it could be the same as the ARIS
compatible shifters. If there was a Quarz compatible brake lever
shifter, it would probably have a pure Shimano 8s compatible Campy
shift disk. Are the Sachs shift discs available from Campy (or
anyone)? It also seems like it might be possible to calculate the size
of the Shimano shift discs (8s, 9s, and 10s) by making careful
measurements of existing discs, and comparing them to the known values
for their corresponding cable movement.

The all-alloy Quarz is a *very* nice derailleur, BTW. Still made in
France (are SRAM derailleurs made in France?) at that time.
