Way OT: Does anyone have a Xenix boot disk for a TRS-80 Model 16?
Does it require a hard disk or can you run with the two floppies?
Cheers,
Chuck
Do you want a copy of one of the original disks? I have version 3.1, but
that requires a PAL update to the 68000 board. I MAY have version 1.1 or 1.3
around somewhere.
Do you want 5.25" or 8" media?
As long as you have the 68000 board and memory intstalled, you can boot with
a floppy and a file system diskette, but you don't have many of the tools.
What are you trying to do? I loved the diskutil, but that doesn't actually
require loading Xenix.
If you have a later generation hard drive controller in your machine, you
can probably use just about any RLL/MFM interface drive to get going. If you
don't then If you have the middle generataion (without the red bus lines),
you'll need the external primary drive case with a working 12 meg or larger
MFM drive installed.
