Continuing my mission to clear out the garage, I'd like to
offer another machine to anyone who can collect it:
Altos 8085-based machine, OEM-badged "Simpelec".
Two 8" floppy disk drives
One 14" Shugart winchester disk
19" rack-mount cabinet
P-system boot disk
Miscellanous other 8" disks
The 14" winchester looks remarkably similar to the drive in
the PERQ-I. Unfortunately, I've never managed to get the
machine to boot, access or do anything with the hard disk.
Last time I tried the machine, it ran OK with the floppy
disks, though. You'd need a terminal to use as a console.
Don't forget that P-system was not Year 200 Compliant, so
you'll have to pretend that it's still 1985 when you set
the clock!
