Hi All,? I'm still looking for the OS media or any manuals for 2 systems 1 is a 
OSM Zues 4 Early Z80 System,the other is? a Pertec p4010 mini. which uses coax 
to the terminals.? I can find a little bit on the Pertec 3200 but nothing on 
the 4010.
Thanks, Jerry
,  Update  , for those that asked and add info

The Zues is cute little desk top system with  a wood top. 16x16, Very simple, 
but nice.Had its own Multi user OS, Z80,  Seagate  ST-212 HD  12 meg , 5 1/4 
Floppy.  With 10 
 serial  ports, I would guess this thing would be sweating bullets,  if all 10 
ports where busy.
Of coarse this is 2018 and it still runs. That has to say something.  date code 
is 1984


 Pertec
After doing a little searching . This is a Pertec 3200 series. By the info I 
have seen,It is a 3230 floor standing model.  The P4010 on the tag is most 
likely the configuration ???
It has a 70 meg HD (MFM), Bridge board,Tape drive and  5 1/4 Floppy. 68020 
processor 
 The Coax ports, where fast and The terminals could  be a long distance away. 
The Bridge board has a 68000 Processor and DPT sticker on the Roms.  Very 
nicely made Machine. 
 Each Terminal Had a Z-80 with 64k of Memory in it.

There is a company in  Denver that lists the OS but they have not returned my 
E-mail Requests Yet ??

I have added some Zues and Pertec  Terminal pictures to this file.

Damn, but that's pretty! Looks like the FDD is 5.25"?

I see that you, like I, are a frequent purchaser of Harbor Freight
furniture dollies. Everything big and heavy, that doesn't have its own
wheels, goes on one. That lets me move them around the workshop. It's
a bit like Tetris, except you're inside the game.

Sanyo PHC-3100 (or PHC-3000) ?

[Mattis Lind via cctalk]

Does anyone have more info on these Japanse machines. I collected the
infomation I got from the former owner of a PHC-3100. Interesting machines
based on the TMS9900.

http://www.datormuseum.se/computers/others/sanyophc3100-1

I have 32 floppies which was dumped using ImageDisk. 40 tracks, double
sided, FM encoding. But none of these floppies are original so I am not
sure if I have the full OS, whatever that is. I also lack documentation.
>From what I understand they were never sold outside Japan.

Ditto. A fun project nonetheless.

"You will receive all the components to build a PC Motherboard exactly
as shown here:"

If I didn't already have a couple 5150s (and a nice 5160 I recently
acquired and repaired), I'd consider this board, but $150 will buy
other cool vintage toys so I'm going to pass.

If someone wanted to pay me to do the assembly, that would be kinda
fun.  I can get through several movies soldering that many joints.

Could you take some pictures of the 4010?

This was sold by Sperry after they bought Pertec

I have a stack of boards, and maybe a diagnostic tape for one of the models.

As far as I know, it's a complete kit.  It's been the same price since 
it's introduction 3+ years ago.

Yes. That was basically my idea as well. I didn’t get that far. It sort of
ran small pieces of the code but then I thought it would be a good idea to
compare with the real thing. Thus the planned work for taking traces with a
logic analyzer. At that time I didn’t have deep memory on my LA. Now I
have. Right now the VT52 is stored away and I am onto other things. But in
time it will happen.

Thank you!

Time permitting, I'd like to make a VT52 simulator running this
microprogram.

I did dump the microprogram of my VT52. I also did a very crude first
attempt to disassemble it. Since the VT52 has a mode bit that control what
operation to run it has to be simulated to get it right. You find
everything here: http://www.datormuseum.se/home/dec-vt5x

I had a plan to run the VT52 with a logic analyzer attached to recover
traces of what it is doing for a keypress, UART in, scanline etc.

Hello,

Does anyone have VT52 microprogram ROM image, a listing, or a copy
of "DECscope System Manual"?
