Chris,
I'm glad to hear that there are at least a few of them out there. Can
you make a list of what you have? Between John, Fritz and you I should be
able to get a decent set of software and manuals. BTW I found a disk in
one of my drives. It's marked "PTR V7" "DO - T" "1-40"
"5-12-82". Any idea
what it might be? It's a 32 sectored hard sectored disk. Is that what
these use?

Greetings Joe and John,
I've got one of those devel systems too along with s/w and manuals. Haven't
fired mine up in a _long_ time either. Used RIO of some version too. Simple
OS.
My memory is real fuzzy on it now even though I used to occasionally use it
at work (mid-80's). I wonder if the disks are still okay (bitrot)? It's in
storage and I really should drag it out to the house before winter. Books
and s/w buried up in the attic along with a million other things. Let me
know if you cannot find all the docs and s/w.
Regards, Chris

Yes, it's blue with brushed aluminium around
the top. I think I saw the
letters MCZ n it but I'll check to be sure. I'd love to get a copy of the
disks and any manuals that you have.
Mine's a model 05-1014-00.
Back in 1997, I chatted with Fritz Chwolka about the one he owns.
He has a unique name, he's easy to find in web searches. He's active
in the German CP/M community. Perhaps you can find him. I found
three or four various e-mail addresses in a search this morning.
