Mmm... Perhaps a PC system with one 8" inch. floppy unit connected (I think
that there was some information available about this matter in
www.dbit.comor in Dave Dunfield's site).
Later, one system with DTCyber and PLATO (as you can see in
www.cyber1.org).
But don't think this is the case. In the description of the item appears one
reference to MicroPLATO. And the almost unique reference that I've
encountered in the Internet is this one, in the Wikipedia article dedicated
to PLATO:
"An attempt to mass-market the PLATO system was introduced in 1980 as
Micro-PLATO, which ran the basic
TUTOR<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TUTOR_%28programming_language%29>s…
on a CDC "Viking-721" terminal and various home computers. Versions
were built for the Texas Instruments
TI-99/4A<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments_TI-99/4A>4A>,
Atari 8-bit family <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_8-bit_family>, Zenith
Z-100 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-100_bus> and, later, Radio
Shack<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Shack>
TRS-80 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRS-80> and IBM Personal

I might go for these disks as well, if I can figure out if I have them
already or not :) My concern is archiving - I don't have a way to
read these 8" floppies and image them. Is anyone out there (Al K?)
doing so? If so, as it is with documents, I'd defer to that party as
long as they are going to make their images/scans public.
