I have 2.
I haven't played with either yet. I was working on an
adapter/cable to connect one of it's 8" drives to a
modernish pc. I never finished. I could (and did begin
the project) simply doing it by hand (with a ruler)
but it would be useful to have a program whereby you
can - with some degree of precision - print out a bar
chart with the ability to specify the thickness of the
bars and the distance apart. This way you could take
that and reduce it on a copy machine. Any clues?...
Sorry don't have any drives to spare. Don't think my
disks are worth a lot either, haven't managed to boot
off any of them. This too is a bummer, because one of
my units has a rare card along with a set of 5 1/4"
drives (external) and the driver software is on one of
them. Butler Flats Associates was the vendor.
Dave Dunfield has a few items on his site. He's
currently working on archiving all the rest of what
he's got - aren't ya Dave? ;)

I got my NEC APC running and was able to create a
floppy that boots with
Seattle Dos 2.0 on it. Most of the Programs seem to
run. But if they
don't then I overlay them with the ones from my
MS-DOS 2.0. Strangly
the dates on both Systems are really close; Late
1982 for the MS-DOS and
early 1983 for SCP-DOS
Got to figure out how to put a Boot for my CompuPro
816 on a floppy so I
can boot to Dos on the CompuPro
I may need a replacement 8" drive for one of my Two
APC's
TIA
