Dick,
I tried to reply directly to you but your server rejected my messages.
I'm interested in the Intel stuff. ISIS was the operating system for
the big blue and while Intel MDS systems. I still have one. I'd be very
interested in seeing what you have but I have to tell you that I'm NOT fond
of MBE. They charge ridiculous rates for boxs and supplies and for packing
and even their shipping is twice the UPS rate. They charge three times as
much for
boxs here localy as U-Haul does. I'd much rather you dumped
the stuff in a box and sent it via USPS book rate if
possible.

Ultimately I was
left with a bunch of software documentation and some software (copied, I
suppose). Some of the software and documentation actually go together, so
I though I'd make an initial offer to this group in case there's someone
crazy enough to pursue this sort of stuff. I have lots ( close to 25 kg )
of manuals in the original blue Intel binders containing documents on
various Intel development tools of the early 8086 era, including, I
believe, Pascal, Assembler, various OS's (they were experimenting with
several at the time) PL/M, among others. There's also a batch, obviously
intended to go together, of 8" diskettes marked iAPX Source Code which has
in it diskettes marked "CP/M to ISIS Translator" in CP/M SSSD format, RTCS
UDI, PL/M-80, and LOTS of other iRMX stuff all in ISIS format (whatever
that is) seemingly the source code for an entire development OS.
Is anybody interested enough to want this stuff shipped to them at THEIR
expense?
That means I carry the stuff to the Mailboxes, Etc shop, get a
quote on the packing and shipping cost, carry it back and, when your check
clears, have it shipped to you.
