FF: Philips Wordprocessor (UK)

Another oddity at the computer museum at Bletchley which I unfortunately
didn't get much chance to look over (if there is interest I'll get
better details later in the week).

It's a Philips machine with twin 8" floppy drives - I'm told a dedicated
wordprocessor, but I'm wondering if it isn't a full-blown CP/M system.
Looks to be circa 1980 anyway.

As with the IBM, we need the space in the museum, so it's into storage
for it, or ask and see if anyone wants to give it a home. Comes with a
terminal (I need to check and see if it's a full-blown Philips terminal
or just a custom console for the main system box), Philips printer, and
a whole pile of floppy disks.

No idea of working state on this one; powering up without a boot disk
gave a screen full of z's, so there's some basic functionality working
at least...

Anyone interested in giving it a home?

cheers

Jules
