Subject: IBM Displaywriter software?
Is there an image archive of software for the Displaywriter somewhere?
Someone donated one to the Computer History Museum recently, and I went through our
archives and have
only come up with a bunch of versions of the CE disk and a single TEXT PACK 1 diskette.
I did image what we have, and put it up under
http://bitsavers.org/bits/IBM/Displaywriter
One thing I discovered was you HAVE to degauss the floppy before cloning the CE diskette.
It expects tracks 37, 41 and 43
to be blank or it hangs.
The Rhode Island Computer Museum has a Displaywriter that came with a
bunch of diskettes.
