Hey, Seth.
A local guy in the Bay Area is currently working on related matters. He's
writing a MESA emulator. He's borrowed a couple manuals from me.
I have applications for the 6085, and also some manuals for that machine
and the 8010. Of course, as always, it's buried somewhere, but I'm slowly
unearthing everything as I move it to the new location.
Anyway, if you ever want to come over and dig around for this sort of
stuff, you're welcome.
