Hold in the "F" key while booting. You'll then be able to boot off a disk in
drive A.

I'm looking at picking up an Olivetti M10, but I don't know too much about
this one. I'm told that it has neither a floppy nor a hard drive. Can
someone enlighten me, or at least point me in right direction for more
information?
Thanks,
Cliff Gregory

Sorta like the little kid who got the "Our Father" prayer slightly wrong
..."Forgive us our Christmasses..." he prayed.
Christmas is hectic for me, 'cause I run a store.

How do you get in the cmos on a Grid 1660????
Some body brought it to me and said it could not find A drive and when I looked it had 5 drives A.C.D.F.H. And when I got rid of H drive it took the Operating files with it. now I got disk error and I want to get into cmos to see if I can format the drive and start from scratch.

I saw one of those at the UW-Madison surplus sale a few weeks ago,
at a similar price, but passed it up. It looked like an A/D box of
some kind, I too saw the apple logo and wondered if it wasn't for
the Apple II era - Isaac Newton, get it? I definitely saw A/D converter
chips in there, maybe they were on the expansion cards. No CPU necessary,
it could be driven by TTL logic if it was just spitting data.

Many thanks to all who responded with advice, part numbers etc. I have
passed the part numbers on to my colleague - I shall try Don Maslin's
suggestions for a web search next.

I think I have an 85 as well - in fact I know I do (somewhere) - I must
look and see what state the belts are in, and if I can measure them...
If not some measurements off yours would be very useful.

You could even go with an IDE hard disk and 2400 baud modem if you could
find them.

That part is totally true. It was aggravating trying to remember to take the
tapes out. I ended up ruining 1 or 2 that way.
