If my experience with P6000 is anything to go by (P6000 used some P800
hardware), I can give some details :
- the cassette drives are ECMA34. This means about 250K on each side of the
cassette. The logic wants +6VDC
I've seen 2 types, 1 where the lid comes halfway down, and where the casset
is mounted vertically, and 1 type where the cassette is inserted
horizontally. Connector- and signalwise, they are identical.
- all 8" floppy drives drives I've seen, use 115VAC for the motor. Check for
bad/dried out rubber cabling

Subject: RE: Philips P800 family minis
I just finished picking up the P800's. A quick
overview of what's there:
- 3 x P859 (one looks like the board set is incomplete)
- 1 x P856/P857? (no type label, marked "defect" in black marker on top)
Aren't these supposed to have core memory? No core found inside.
- 1 x card cage with 6 cards. No idea what this is yet.
- 1 x P833 cassette drive enclosure with two drives fitted.
- 2 x P830-010 8"disk drive enclosure (looks like it can hold 2 drives).
One
of these is new-in-box
- 2 x 8" floppy disk drive to fit the enclosures
- 3 x X1215 cartridge disk drive. Looks like it has an internal fixed
platter as well.
- 10 x 14" disc cartridge
- Some boxes with spare cards and parts
- Cables
- 16 Binders with manuals
I'm taking an inventory of the manuals first. Will post the list once it's
complete.
Cheers,
Camiel
