>> Which "Alpha"? Alpha Micro?

Hmm, is that "Alpha micro" as in "Alphatronic PC"? I have a few of those
things lying around someplace in various states - my old university
wrote their own terminal software for them, burned it out to eeprom, and
we used to use them as terminals to access the Unix systems.

IIRC I did see reference to an expansion box that allowed the use of
hard drives with CP/M on - I did a lot of digging at the time and never
turned up anything for them - I just had the custom Uni terminal ROMs
and a set of BASIC ROMs that originally came with the machines.

They were made by Triumph-Adler, from what I remember. Any information
on these boxes would be most helpful!! (I have the original manuals, but
they don't exactly go into a lot of detail)

cheers
