Are you asking me or Tony? I'll assume you're asking me (I don't know
that Tony has one of these). I haven't really played with it since I
rescued it. But it's in good shape and is accessible currently, which is
a bonus.
So taking advantage of its accesibility, I just dug through it's lower
cabinet area, which is used for storage. I re-discovered that I have what
looks to be a complete spare board set. Also in there were the install
tapes and a box of still shrinkwrapped DC300A carthridges.
The install tapes are as follows:
SADIE 3.5 OPERATING SYSTEM & UTILITIES
ZEUS 3.2 Rev. J SYSGEN PROCEDURE (hand labeled)
Tomorrow would be a good day to come by and visit if you want to retrieve
these and perhaps play with the system. I've got a bunch of people coming
in and out throughout the day, and I'll be in my office all day working on
projects. Since you've never been here then it might be worthwhile.
Let me know...
