I did, it's under "528x" but OS X collation puts it with 3 digit part numbers

I need to see if that floppy in the picture is still in the left-hand drive

I just uploaded GA21-9353-1_5280_Functions_Reference_Manual_Apr81 w/o OCR
to bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/5280 mirrors should have it in an hour

that is essentially the architecture manual

I'll do some more work on the manuals once a big OCR batch job finishes

The floppies we have are utils, comm utils, and DE/RPG
I'll see if I can get to those this weekend.

IBM 5280

2017-08-04 Thread Christian Corti via cctalk
So, we've got an IBM 5285 (5280 series) programmable data station. This is 
a *heavy* and nice beast ;-) Its architecture is a bit unusual but 
interesting. Problem is, I don't have any software for it expect one disk 
that IPLs and that contains four more or less crappy games.

(can be found at ftp://computermuseum.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/ibm/ibm5285/)

I would be very thankful for any disk images for that system, especially 
the diagnostics, utilities and SCP, but also the assembler and other 
languages.
