The 2647F used externally connected floppy drives instead of tape
drives. I have a 2647F but unfortunately don't have a copy of the
basic disks. Someone on the list (Eric?) mentioned having copies a
long time ago and I didn't follow up and get copies at the time.
Something about Autoplot triggered a distant memory, and I found a
couple of 5-1/4" diskettes which may be for the 2647F. The first is
labeled AUTOPLOT/47, with a part number of 02647-13401. If I'm reading
the hex dump of what appears to be the directory sector correctly, it has
the following files:
WELCOME
SLIDEX
PIE
AGLX
AUTO
AUTO2
AUTOX
AUTOX2
CTUL001
BASIC
LINEAR
BAR
SLIDE
BACKUP
MESSAGE1
There are two other diskettes, with DEMO/47 and something else I'll
have to check on when I get home.
What filesystem format did the 2647F use?
