I have an Olympia Olytext 20 computer but I don't
have the OS for it. It's a
single board, Z-80 system, with a 3.5 inch FD. The manual said it used
CP/M-80 but I haven't been able to find any other information on the system,
or the OS.
No one that I've talked to knows anything about
this PC, so I won't even
hope that anyone here would have the OS but... I'm wondering if there is a
way to make a new copy of the OS for this system? If I can find out the
hardware addressing, etc., can CP/M 80 be made to run on it, and without a
horrific amount of work? (I know, depends on what I consider a lot of
work.)I don't mind tedious, if it's do-able.
So, I don't know how your self implementations are doing, I just
managed to speak to a representive of Olympia, and he at least
could remember the System. Always a good sign if a company is
responding ;) He didn't have any information or systems at access,
but I now have a contact to their Repairs and Spare Part Centre.
As for now they are bussy with the usual years end stuff, but I
get more about that next Monday. They belive that they still have
this sort of OS disks in stock, so you may have to pay their price
(which I don't know of right now).
Gruss
