Right now it boots MSDOS 3.3 off a floppy, rather
What do you want to know?
Well, here's some:
- Obviously not worth much, eh? Just to us collectors. :) - What hardware is avail for them?
Same as any PC.
- Docs, docs, docs
They came with a good size set of docs and they were in dark red binders
in slip cases, just like those for the AT&T Unix PC (3B1) and the 3B2
computers. I don't remember what all they covered but I think there was
about six books to a set. One of my friends probably still has his.
- And fun stories, like yours. I love that
stuff.
I'll see if he wants to turn loose of the stuff. I kind of hate to split
it up though.
I think
there's still a set of docs there too.
I'm nowhere near Florida (I live in Iowa), but if I could somehow get those
docs, I'd be more than happy to fly some green your way. There should be one color monitor
there with them.
Dang, that'd be nice.
They had an AT&T version of MS-DOS. I THINK
they came with version 2.11. I should still have a copy here somewhere if
you want a copy.
Sure...that'd be fun. well, too.
As I said, they seem to be very IBM compatible. I don't remember seeing
anything that wouldn't run on them. I think my friends bought their's in
late 1984 or early 1985 and at that time a lot of the brand X machines were
not IBM compatible. I know, I had a Sanyo 555. What a PITA!

Ah, I love this hobby....<goes back to dig around in the machine>
