I have an IBM 5322. I can't find any useful

looks very much like a System/23 Datamaster. Is it one and the same?
Next question:
When I boot it up it comes up with a display as follows:
07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
2F 30 31 32 33 34[35]36 37 38 39 FD

4A
The hyphens underneath numbers indicate that those numbers are underlined,
and the square brackets indicate that that number is inversed video.
Does anyone know what this means?
This is the boot diagnostics. I *used* to know what the individual
numbers were, but alas 1980 was a long time ago.
Last question:
I press the RESET button and it clears the screen and goes into what looks
to be a prompt mode. It had "PROC START" on the bottom, so I entered this
as a command. Now a status line on the bottom has "OPTION 10" with the
"10" blinking and I can't figure out what to do.
You're in the command prompt. There should be a way to get it (again
that 1980 thing) to enter the editor so that you can write some code in
BASIC.
Does anyone know what is going on? How do I boot from
the floppy drive?
Anyone got an OS disk? A manual?
Everything is in ROM. The floppies are for storage of programs and
such.
Thanks!
