Does anyone have any pointers to sites on the web which
cover Altos
machines? I've done a search on Yahoo and a couple of other places and
turned up nothing.
Yes, there is a surprising lack of information "on the web" on Altos
machines.
I'm particularly interested in information on the
Unix systems they were
making around 1990 - we had one at work, an i386 in a tower case. Not PC
compatible IIRC, possibly called an "Altos III" or something similar.
If you can wait a day or two, a fellow classiccmper and I are going to be
inventorying the Altos machines that we've (temporarily) taken custody
of, as well as the documents. All the machines that we have are
19" wide by about 7.5" high tabletop units, often with 8" floppies in the
front so they're almost certainly older than your machine, but there may
be some documentation (we've several binders full of it) on your machine.
