Long shot, but does anyone know of any available

There?s a bit of documentation available - Bitsavers has a bit, and I have some MAI
documentation that I?m in the process of scanning. I?m toying with the idea of emulating
this machine, but I?m having difficulty locating any software for it.
Thanks in advance.

Not exactly that, however, i may have something for BB-IV but i think
these ones used cpu's developed by basic four. I have one 14" harddisk
from a model 210 as well as a disk pack for a basic
four 510, both
should be bootable. I have the machines/drives as well but not yet
tried
to fire them up. The 210 came with a tape 1/4" drive but i dont have any
tapes.
I also thought about writing an emulator but i have not yet found the
manuals for the cpus used (1300 CPU Technical Manual / M1300 Series CPU
Organisation and Description Reference Manual). I have scanned the
available documentation and it is saved at Al's bitsaves site (pdf/mai/).
