If you can come up with a text file or a hard-copy printout, that's
more than I have at this point.
I'm hoping to get CP/M working after I get the integrated debugger
working.
Thanks.

Back in the '70s, I did a port of Adventure using BDS C. But it needed
CP/M.
I don't know if I have a machine readable copy, but I suspect there is one
floating around somewhere.

Yes, it was, as I was able to pick up your direct message on Friday. The

morning.

So what!? Hope to get a functional one somewhere? Try to find & repair the
fault at component level?

STD was a z80 bus and SS50 was 6800 based/biased.

STD bus (or is that the same as SS-50)?

Hello folks...
I've been trying to get an operating system for my MDS 225 series 3 on 8"
disks.
I've read that it uses ISIS (Intel System Implementation Supervisor)
and that it can also run CP/M (GENERIC) according to Joe's web site
http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/mds.htm
However, I've tried to email joe at
rigdonj(a)intellistar.net
But the mail bounces as undelivered.
Any ideas?

There is a scan of an RA81 pocket maintenance guide
at http://208.190.133.201/decimages/moremanuals.htm .
I don't recall exactly how much it covers, and I'm
not able to check the original right now,
but it might help.

The 11/780 may have been in decline by 1987... but out of
widespread use isn't true.
A large number of 11/780's were still being used in commercial
locations (although many had been upgraded to 11/780-5's -- non
FCC'd 11/785's)... but many were still in commercial use after
the scientific number cruncher types moved from the 11/780 to
newer faster and smaller boxes or to bigger boxes like the 8650.
There were many 11/780's still in use through the late 80's at
various sites... many outside the US. Saying the 11/780 was out
of widespread use in '87 is like saying the 11/70 was out of
widespread use in 85. Not true if you ever were in AT&T, or any
ex-Bell Operating Company -- they were buying 11/70's through
1984 or so from DEC as refurbs.

As it turns out, that key combo was pointed out to me the other day, and
yes, it does work. It drops you into some kind of ROM debugger, where one
of the features is a setup utility.
So now the Zenith has been saved from the scrap heap (as there were no
takers on it), and has been set to use the 3.5" 1.44 drive (and the 360k
5.25 was upped to a 1.2 5.25, not that I needed it, but I didn't have a
face plate that fit nicely in the hole, so I just used one of my many
spare 5.25 drives).
It is now happily collecting dust on my shelf of "good to use" computers
waiting for an interviewing job to call on it.
