I have many hundreds of "alien" diskettes that were to go to him when I
blue-screen. Now I don't know who to will them to.
I didn't know who this was so a little googling
turned up a list of
disks that Don had put together. Browsing the list revealed this
tantalizing item:
BEEHIVE
Name Format Description
BEEV10 DSDD Beehive Topper II CP/M 2.2 System - BIOS 1.0
BEEV13 DSDD Beehive Topper II CP/M 2.2 System - BIOS 1.3
This seems to imply that Beehive (based in Utah) made some sort of
CP/M machine called the "Topper II".
Does anyone know about this machine?
I have never seen the machine either, but I have seen floppies from it.
I don't know whether that was made by Beehive, or was an aftermarket
add-on to convert a terminal into a computer.
