Xerox 6085 in Kansas City
I happened to mention to one of my son's schoolmates parents that I recycled
computers and now I am the lucky recipient of a complete Xerox 6085 system
including external 5 1/4 floppy, complete manuals, software, hardware, every
thing except the Xerox 4045 laser printer. The previous owner was the
original owner.

If anyone needs copies of the manuals I will make copies for cost.

I found when I hooked it all up and powered up I get a 4 digit code in the
upper left corner. I suspect that the system battery may have died. I have
6 large boxes of manuals and software can anyone give me a hint in which
manual the hardware troubleshooting guide is found? Is there a guide or
index to all the manuals?

I remember the great gray or orange walls of DEC manuals, but at least there
was an excellent index.

computer hound, I sniff out the good stuff

All musings are my own, no one else thinks like or for me.
