I've been looking for info on an Altos 580.
It's pretty thin. The
little I've found shows the db25 connectors as rs232s, and mentions
terminals. Does that mean I can get a console on my trusty MicroTerm?
If not, are there any peripherals anywhere? Display, keyboard, an OS
maybe?
One of my favorite systems, Multiuser Z80. I had several of these about 1990.
Only one of the serial ports is the console port, zero IIRC. Should work with
a standard serial terminal, Wyse 50 etc. Your MicroTerm should work. Uses a
serial printer also.
I am not sure I can trust my memory without pictures as to the layout of the
db25. IIRC (L to R) Ser Printer, Terminal, Terminal, Console? I don't
remember if there was a serial modem port or not.
No SW any more, sorry I hope you find some, it is a nice little computer.
