Hello all, I have an Altos 580, but no docs or software for it. Someone sent me floppy boot disk images, but I could not get them to work (likely some mistake on my end). Upon power up, the floppy light goes on, and never goes off. It's hard to tell if the floppy motor is spinning. The hard drive definitely spins up, and sounds fine. A terminal connected to any port on the back never shows any output. I have no idea if the thing is broken, and without docs, I don't have the time or inclination to find out... The unit is the "squashed hexagon" shape, with one internal 5.25" floppy, and an internal 5.25" hard drive. Five serial ports on the back, labeled JA through JE. Also other ports for what looks like an external hard drive.... I took the covers off, and aside from quite a bit of dust, there is no damage. No apparent heat spots, missing chips, etc. It's possible the floppy is just dust-clogged, but I haven't had time recently to clean it all out. If you want it, it's yours for what I have into it: US $20 plus shipping costs. The unit is fairly heavy, so it might get expensive, depending on where you are (I am located in north central Massachusetts, USA)... I am willing to ship worldwide, and will quote shipping to anyone who is interested. I am also willing to part it out, but will give first preference to someone who wants the whole thing. Thanks!
