I have several sets of original floppy disks. And man did I have to do
a LOT of searching to find them!!! I'm serious, it took me about ten years
of constantly serching to find these.
You've probably already figured out that a useable operating system is
too large to fit on one floppy disk. I've had useable systems on hard
drives for a long time but the OS was too large to copy to a floppy drive
so it was impossible to distribute except by copying to another hard drive
and then shipping the compete hard drive.

Which describes version 2.0 of the PASCAL system for the 98x6 series and
has a bunch of detail on the series 200 and 300 hardware.
If anyone has copies of the floppies for these systems, I'm interested
in
archiving them. It appears I have a partial set of basic and pascal
discs.
