Does anyone know anything about the Vector 3-5030 from Vector Graphics?
Is it considered a collectable? I recently found one at the town dump
and brought it home. It displays some sort of ROM monitor screen when
it comes up with version number 4.2. It has a dual floppy drive but no
software. I assume it is a CP/M machine since one of the boards in the
S-100 card cage has a Z80 on it.
I guess collectable is in the mind of the beholder, thus I evade the
question :). I probably have at least a couple around here along with
(I think) the hardware manuals. As I recall, the disk is a 16 hard
sectored diskette and the ones I have run CP/M. I have a *bunch* of
original Vector Graphic system disks although I don't know if they are
all interchangeable between the various Vector Systems. The system I
just looked at does not have a floppy disk as part of the terminal but
rather has the hard drive and floppy in a separate, single enclosure.
