Hey everyone, I recently acquired a Xerox Star 8010, I now have panels
for it (Thanks Jason Timmons) and am now working on the power supply.
It is missing the transformer, does anyone have documentation on the
power supply? I know it outputs 5v/12v and therefore I am looking at a
8v/16v transformer. Any recommendations on AMPS? I can find a 20A/30A
transformer or a 80A/120A transformer, any suggestions?
Also, anyone have a digital version of PILOT (the OS for the Xerox Star)
or know where I can get a copy?
Thanks!

Ment to say VA (volt amps) instead of A (amps)

Hello Nick,
we have several working stars and a lot of software incl. Lisp, Viewpoint and Globalview.
I'll be able to provide the informations requested the next weekend.
A valuable information ressource is bitsavers too.
Gru?

I have a lot of software, including XDE (the development environment), Interlisp, early
versions of Star and
the server "services". I imaged these long before imagedisk, so they are in dmk
format.
I've put up a couple of versions of XDE and Star 5.0 and 5.2 on
http://bitsavers.org/bits/Xerox/8010 along with
a program that can extract files from raw floppy images.
It will take a couple of hours to propagate out to the mirrors.
I'll put the Interlisp images under 1108
There is a workaround for Star expecting there to be a time server, don't know where
it is right now. There is
also early software around that can run Services on a unix box, but I don't know where
that is off the top of my
head.
