Unlikely, I know, but i am looking for Unisoft UNIX fo a COLEX system
I have a Colex 850 CP/M system, with a lose STD-68000 card and some more memory cards.
This should support the Unisoft UNIX that once was available for this system.
Anyone has a copy of this Unisoft version ?

funky..
I have the code for the VME version that used an 80186 running DOS for an I/O processor
Been watching for another one for 30 years, since I never dumped the firmware from the
186.
Does the 68K card have a 68451 on it?

Probably irrelevant here but there were several versions of UNIX for S100 Cromemco Systems
using a 68010 or 68020; FWIW, memory management was done on a separate card.
They also had Cromix, a UNIX look-alike, for both Z80 and 68000 systems.

No, it is just a 8MHz MC68K, 2 PALs to somehow kludge the 68K to the STD bus, and a 2732
marked "Unix".

I also added a straight binary dump of the 10MB MFM disk that is part of my system, but
that is a cp/m 3.0 system as it stands.
That does contain source code for the Colex 820/850 system bios.
Very few Colex system still around it seems, but if someone needs that as separate files
then I should be able to oblige.

Colex US was based in Redwood City. I got a bunch of their VME systems cheap when they
shut down in 1985 that we used for development at AED.
I think they were based in Taiwan
