Yeah... I've been steadily working towards getting a working TRS-80 Xenix machine. At
the moment, I have enough parts (I believe) to make a working Model II, and a line on the
68000 board. Unfortunately, the difficult part to find is a hard disk. I have the Model II
host adapter for the early TRS-80 Eight Meg drive (which is, of course, completely
incompatible with anything else), but no drive. I can't even cobble it to a regular
MFM drive, since the actual disk controller is in the drive cabinet (I have only the host
adapter). Unfortunately, you can't really run Xenix without a hard drive.

I really miss
my tandy 16 and
6000. Had the whole house set up (when I was
younger) with terminals off my tandy xenix
machines,
plus a modem on one of
them so we could pull newsgroups :)
I am jealous :-)
