OSI bliss...

Wow. Hi everyone. A hot tip, a long drive, lots of digging, and a pocket full of kryptonite turned up an OSI C3C12 yesterday! It's a 4 component system including the CD2 8" floppys, a big CD23 Shugart SA4000 harddrive, and a Hazeltine terminal that's OSI branded (neat.) It sports a 17 slot backplane with a 525, 590, CSS cpu+ (that is cracked), and 3 522's now in it. I found another box of boards that had 2 510's (my favorite), a 555, 2 550's, 2 470's, and 3 520's, and a CA-18E ((on a 550 board)?) that hints at level III networking) Also got a bunch of software like os-65u v1.43 timeshare, ( w/mputil...) Looks like it can handle 3 users maybe. And there are boxes of disks I haven't even gone through yet. The documentation was a wonderful find too. Most of it is preliminary docs of things like the: Ohio Scientific Multiple User Computer System Manual C2-8p Users Manual C3 Setup and Operations Manual (with the C3 Utilities and Demo disks (!!!)) OS-DMS Shugart SA4000 servicing info OS-65u Ref Manual a *huge* binder of tech and sales newsletters and a real cool OSI Servicing Data book for *many* of the osi boards from 470-594 and cii and cIII systems Then the ghost of classiccmp-past infused and led me back to a dark dusty workbench where I scored 3 boxes of molex connectors that I needed desperately. Oh, I found a Motorola EXORmacs system in the same pile too. yipee! My home is smaller. One happy ccmper signing off... ;) - Mike: dogas(a)leading.net
