I came across a site today which provided more information on this critter,
and as Fritz had suggested, it is indeed a TurboDOS machine.. I have a copy
of TurboDOS around, but I don't know if Philips used a custom version or ?
Not to mention that I don't have a clue how I'd copy it, or even what
TurboDOS runs on. Here's the link I found to the info on the P3800:
http://www.digidome.nl/philips1.htm Also, the P4500 is a minicomputer of
some kind, apparently.. Not sure if this was one of the rebranded Four/Phase
machines or not, but I wish I had one : )

The majority of TurboDos installations were on Z80 based hardware.
Like CP/M, all installations were a custom version to accomodate the
installed hardware. However, there was an x86 version of TD that came
out near the 'end'.

My first PC was a Philips P3200,
very heavy, equiped with a 286 processor working at 6MHz (!), a Miniscribe
20MB HDD (5,25 FH) and a big power supply (720W). the 5V cable was screwed
with a bolt on the mainboard :)
It came with a Princeton - Monitor and an AST-3G EGA card .
Unfortunately, I throw it away long time ago :( (but I built out most of the
parts).

I'm afraid the P4500 was as dead as could be, some vital parts missing and
plugs missing etc. Still, got some nice parts, that I will over here, like
a tape unit, 8" floppy drive and a "small" harddisk hehe ;)
grtz,
Stefan.
