But are they looking at the computer, or at a terminal? A lot of those
had Morrow Designs, Northstar, etc. copyright messages in the system
tracks of the disk.
Out in my storage shed, I have a "DISKON" computer, which is a single
board computer that was built into a slightly modified Televideo terminal.
They were peddled for disk format conversion. At one point, I offered it
here and didn't get any takers. When I tried to boot it, I got a disk
read error.
