Hello. I recently received one book named "A
guide for operating
Datapoint Equipment". It is 88 pages long and describes very good all
the processors and peripherals that could be attached to one of these
systems. In another place in the Internet mentions that the cassette
operating system of these machines was the CTOS (yes, the processor
appeared to have a couple of cassette units and load the OS from one
of it).
Sounds cool. I wish I had a copy.
Do somebody has software for this machine ? Is it
possible to get
something for one repository or download place ? Do it exists some
documentation scanned or available ?
And finally... Somebody knows a place where one of these systems would
be working or at least operative ?
I have several of these machines. In fact I have enough machines for a
complete network. However, I don't know what operating condition mine
are in. I got them over a year ago but haven't had time to play around
with them.
I know I have the 1500, 1520, 2200 and 1800 model processors. My
recollection is fuzzy so those numbers may be off, and I'm probably
missing one or two models.
