ISO intel iPDS-100 w/8085 pod (UK)

[Adrian Graham]

Hi folks,

I just got pipped on an auction for one of these last night, clearly someone needed it more than me and I hope it was for a real usage reason and not just to add to their collection of MDS-related machines.

I’ve been looking for an 8085 ICE for ages now to help troubleshoot my STC Executel phone systems so this seemed like an ideal opportunity to get my hands on one but hey, that’s how auctions work. This one also has an external 37 pin floppy interface so I was hoping I could hook up an 8” drive to be able to read the Executel source floppy disks I have.

Does anyone have one in the UK they don’t need/taking up too much space etc?

This weekend I’ll be investigating getting a Greaseweazle running with an 8” drive now that I have all the components to power my Shugart 860.

(I now await comments along the lines of ‘what do you need an ICE for when you have a DMM, scope and LA - easy answer: the whole environment was designed on an MDS80 so it would be fun)

Cheers,
