Re: Looking for Unisoft Unix for Colex systems
Colex US was based in Redwood City. I got a bunch of their VME systems cheap when they shut down in 1985 that we used for development at AED. I think they were based in Taiwan On 8/10/18 9:50 AM, jos via cctalk wrote: > No, it is just a 8MHz MC68K, 2 PALs to somehow kludge the 68K to the STD bus, > and a 2732 marked "Unix". >

PCB pics on ftp://ftp.dreesen.ch/Colex I also added a straight binary dump of the 10MB MFM disk that is part of my system, but that is a cp/m 3.0 system as it stands. That does contain source code for the Colex 820/850 system bios. Very few Colex system still around it seems, but if someone needs that as separate files then I should be able to oblige. Jos
Re: Looking for Unisoft Unix for Colex systems
Probably irrelevant here but there were several versions of UNIX for S100 Cromemco Systems using a 68010 or 68020; FWIW, memory management was done on a separate card. They also had Cromix, a UNIX look-alike, for both Z80 and 68000 systems. m - Original Message - From: "Al Kossow via cctalk" To: Sent: Friday, August 10, 2018 10:37 AM Subject: Re: Looking for Unisoft Unix for Colex systems > funky.. > > I have the code for the VME version that used an 80186 running DOS for an I/O > processor > Been watching for another one for 30 years, since I never dumped the firmware > from the 186. > > Does the 68K card have a 68451 on it? > > > On 8/10/18 5:36 AM, jos via cctalk wrote: >> >> Unlikely, I know, but i am looking for Unisoft UNIX fo a COLEX system >> >> >> I have a Colex 850 CP/M system, with a lose STD-68000 card and some more >> memory cards. >> This should support the Unisoft UNIX that once was available for this system. >> >> Anyone has a copy of this Unisoft version ? >> >> >> Jos >> >> >
Re: Looking for Unisoft Unix for Colex systems
funky.. I have the code for the VME version that used an 80186 running DOS for an I/O processor Been watching for another one for 30 years, since I never dumped the firmware from the 186. Does the 68K card have a 68451 on it?

Looking for Unisoft Unix for Colex systems
Unlikely, I know, but i am looking for Unisoft UNIX fo a COLEX system I have a Colex 850 CP/M system, with a lose STD-68000 card and some more memory cards. This should support the Unisoft UNIX that once was available for this system. Anyone has a copy of this Unisoft version ? Jos
