AMOS
BASIC, yech!
I've rescued an Alpha Micro 1042E. It's S-100, 68K, multiuser, running
AMOS. I don't have any docs and the only software is what's already
installed on its hard drive. In fact, I don't see any obvious way to get
software into or out of it: there's no floppy drive. But there is a board
to backup files to a vcr (yup, a video cassette recorder). Interesting.
