some kind of 80 track 5.25" floppy drives
I'm sure that's the same one. I didn't know about a proprietary OS, I've
only seen p-System on them, but I think you could get CP/M-68K. I met
someone who claimed to have CP/M-68K for a Sage but when pressed, he
couldn't find the Sage version.
and there was this game on it called
"Kings & Castles." It was just a little metal box with text terminals
hooked up to it, I believe.
Yes, it has two (? I can't see it to check) RS232 ports for terminals, a
printer port, and an IEEE-488 port.
Every now and then my friend and I talk
about trying to get the thing to run again so we can play that game.
Probably not hard. It's a simple layout, it only uses standard ICs, and
it's easy to get into and get at the PCB.

I just picked up a Sage IV with a Liberty terminal
for the cost of shipping, but I haven't inventoried
the disks yet. Someone decided I'd be a good home
for the -System side of it, given my web page
at www.threedee.com/jcm .
Manuals and books were included, and I remember seeing
one for CP/M, so I suspect I have a set of disks for
the Sage IV.
