I just found a service manual for the 8562 and will be adding that information to the scans on bitsavers. The hardware for the 856x is a lot like the Terak in that the I/O is incompatible with DECs, and there aren't any driver sources around. So right now it's just getting as much information collected as I can find so that someone might have a chance of doing something in the future. Considering how many Tek development systems and Teraks were sold, I'm surprised at how long it's taken me to get this far. I was looking at some of my old emails and I have been working on tracking this stuff down for almost 10 years. It did turn out that getting those two 8560s in May was pretty important for both of the projects. I discovered that there were Terak floppies mixed in, and that the seller had a Terak monitor and keyboard. He had sold the CPU sepratately :-( I've not actually been able to get the 8560s to work, but it did prompt me to dig out the 8550 and a pair of 8562s that I had in storage and was able to prod one of them into running after I had the 8560 service manual and Tnix documentation that came as part of the eBay lot.
