Can anyone shed any light on this? Box of 8" soft-sectored floppies,
box labelled "Advent Systems LTD.".
I thought it was Advent Imaging, but anyway...
Advent were a major user of PERQs in the UK at one time. I got my T4 (!)
from them, and a lot of other fun toys, including a
prototyping card, a
couple of OIO cards, spares, etc. And even an on-topic digital
camera...
Floppies inside:
Paint (2 disks)
POS G601
Advent users
Rectify
Utilities
Doclayout
Docdraw
Designer
Skan
Image compression
Manual fonts
Roman fonts
Rockwell fonts
Megaron fonts
Map rectify
I suspect they might be PERQ disks due to the mention of POS and the
fact that there are PERQs on the site where I got them. It'd be nice to
I would guess these are PERQ disks. You could try mounting them on a POS
machine and/or using the floppy program (they may well be 'interchange
format' (close to RT11...) disks).
