I have the 3.1 or 3.2 system, scriptsit, dev system, mbasic, and filePro or
Profile16. How urgent are your needs? I only have them available on 5.25"
disks (follow the directions on Frank Durda's site to connect up a 5.25"
drive). I can probably get to copying them in mid to late June. Just remind
me in a few weeks.
Anyone else collect the 6000's?

Subject: XENIX Distribution Disks
Well, I found someone with a Tandy 6000 keyboard to sell and it should be on
it's way to me tomorrow. Unfortunately, when it gets here, I will have
nothing to use it for, as I accidentally wiped XENIX completely off my
6000's internal hard disk while trying to format a secondary *external* hard
disk. I will never again assume that a program named 'hdinit' will actually
ask me *which* disk to erase, nor that it will ask for *ANY* kind of
confirmation before wiping the internal hard disk...
So I am now in the market for some Tandy XENIX distribution disks for
version 3.whatever. I don't know the exact version number of the OS that was
for the 6000 specifically. Also, should anyone have the Multiuser BASIC
disks, or Profile for XENIX disks, those were lost as well... I didn't have
any of the original disks for anything dealing with the 6000.
I'd also like to get my hands on something my system never had, whose
absence was very noticeable - the XENIX Development System, which contains
things like the C compiler, mail, and many other things I don't consider
optional in a UNIX-based system.
Any help is greatly appreciated...

I'd be interested in those too!!!

I have two of them. One is mint and the other is a MONSTER. It's had all
kinds of mods made on it. They wouldn't all fit in the box so now it's
housed in a metal cube about 28" on each side. Mike Hass has at least one
(probably more).

I have a (currently non-functional, but probably repairable) 6000. I'd
really love to have the dev system. If I get it up and running again, I
have an accounting system and COBOL runtime (no compiler (un)fortunately)
on the HD.
To reduce the time involved in making copies, would you be willing to make
disk images, and put them somewhere accessible? That way those of us with
an 8" hooked to a PC could make 8" disks.

Oh yeah, I think I have Multiplan, too.

The closest I have is a Model 2, which was working when I stored it away.
I never did much with it when I got it (mid 90s I think) due to a lack of
software. I was able to obtain the TRSDOS disk via Tandy (only disk I have
for the system), but I have no idea if they can still do that.
I am still looking for a keyboard for my Model 2 if someone has one
surplus to their needs...

Or does anyone have a Model 16? I was thinking about it the other day,
and I've never actually heard of anyone having one.

I have a Model 16B with the internal 15 MB harddisk and 8" slimline floppy.
I also have a Model II that has been upgraded to a Model 16 with a 68000
board. Both are cool machines. I do have a pile reference manuals and
development software for the machines, just no time to copy them.
