8085 CFE loaded the microcode.
Loaded from a TU58 cartridge, which is the main reason my 11/730 is not
running at the moment. The hardware is fine, I've rebuilt the drive
rollers,
but as yet don't have a readable tape (not
even blank, to write the
microcode onto).
I'm pretty sure that I have a complete set of 11/730 TU58 tapes in
my storage unit.?? I might even have some brand new tapes.?? If I
can find them, I would be happy to send them to you.?? They have
been sitting in storage for probably 20 years, so there are no
guarantee that they are readable.
I'm cleaning out the storage unit right now, in preparation for
moving, so I'll keep an eye out for them.
Ages ago I had a set as well (might still be here somewhere, but I doubt
it).
I offered it various places and got no takers.? In most cases the
conversations
merely morphed into discussions about what crap the physical tapes and
drives were.
