Hi folks,
Does anyone have an archive of Xerox Alto/Star software? I'm curious
about OS, applications, research work, whatever. I don't own an Alto,
but I'm concerned about losing the software anyway. I'd really love to
see a Xerox Alto emulator project started, and obviously some working
original software archives are kind of vital for that endeavor.
While we're at it, does anyone have system schematics or system
architecture documentation? Those seem somewhat relevant as well :)
Hey, Seth.
A local guy in the Bay Area is currently working on related matters. He's
writing a MESA emulator. He's borrowed a couple manuals from me.
I have applications for the 6085, and also some manuals for that machine
and the 8010. Of course, as always, it's buried somewhere, but I'm slowly
unearthing everything as I move it to the new location.
Anyway, if you ever want to come over and dig around for this sort of
stuff, you're welcome.
