Hi Tony,
thanks for responding! Would you feel comfortable to copy the
distribution tape or create a TAR hard disk backup? It would be
a great help.
I'm working on emulating a Zeus system based on the East German
P8000 towers. It would be very interesting to find out how similar
this system actually is to your system. As a background - the East
Germans could not get their hands on a Zeus system directly due to
US export control laws. However, they seem to 've got it anyway -
and so their own Z80, Z8000 ICs as well. Did they actually copy
the system from somewhere and reverse engineered it or did they
write it from scratch no match exactly the original.
Those tapes/disk would be great for reference.
Cheers,
Matt

No real info, alas...
Zeus was supposedly an acronym for Zilog Enhanced Unix System , or
something similar
I ahve a Zilog S8000 Model 30 (the large-ish tower machine built in
slices with an SMD hard disk and QIC tape drive). I should have the
(inary) distriution tape for that somewhere, and I hope the hard disk is
still readable (I've not used it for some time, it was fine last time I
used it, and I locked the heads afterwards...). But no source code, or
even full shcemaitcs (YET!).
