Does anyone have any knowledge of a machine put out by Industrial Data
Terminals back in the '80s that was called the IDT Screenmax System. It
was a non-standard unit that utilized a hard drive, single 5" floppy,
and bubble memory to be a custom video design package. The unit in
question was used to create industrial process control screens.
IDT was taken over by Cutler Hammer Automation and when the unit failed
in service recently it was returned to them for repair. They replaced
the hard drive, did not install CP/M-86 to make it bootable, and
proceeded to lose the master diskettes that they had requested be sent
with the unit.
