Xerox 860 IPS

It's EVIL, run away, run away!!! Seriously, I've been surprised I've not seen mention of it before this. I used one back in the Late 80's while onboard a Frigate, the US Navy apparently had a lot of them at one time. It was used as a Word Processing machine, not sure if it can do anything else, IIRC the software would all be on 8" floppy. For the time it had a great display, but the Word Processing Software sucked as I recall (or is that just the bad memories of the 200+ page document on it I had to update). I'm afraid I've no idea how to set it up or boot it, as I recall someone else had to get me into the document so I could edit it. This was at the same time I was one of the people they called if the Harris Minicomputer crashed, or they anyone had PC troubles. I later worked with someone that told me he took great pleasure in dumping one down a flight of stairs when he was stationed in Rota. Needless to say, they weren't well loved by the Naval personnel that had to use them. Zane | Zane H.
