Hello all,
Just wanted to ask if anyone out there has an Intel MDS (Microcomputer
Development System). That was the 8080-based system that Intel sold for
developers to develop hardware and software based on their
microcomptuers. It ran an operating system called ISIS-II from Intel.
An interesting point of trivia is that Gary Kildall originally developed
CP/M on the first 8080-based MDS called an Intellec 800. This system
was based on the Multibus (a bus system developed by Intel and used in
lots of industrical applications of single board comptuers). If you
happen to buy a CP/M in the generic form it would run on one of those
Intelled 800.
Anyway, anyone who would like to discuss these systems, I'm game. I
have an Intellec 800 and a Series II (the successor).
I would be interested in anyone who might have for sale a set of floppy
diskette controller boards for these systems. It is a two-board set and
I need the double density version.
Thanks.
