Hi
How much memory did the System 8000 require to run?
I wonder if the code could be adapted to run on an Olivetti M20.
These could have 512K of RAM for the what they did in memory
management. The Black & White display only took 16K of that
space.
I've added a hard disk to mine so I can run larger code than
would be practical on a floppy only system.

Ours here in NJ came from someone in northern Virginia, who got in

it from a friend of his at a company called CCI (Computer Consoles

but I don't know the timeframe of that transaction.
