My latest acquisition, an IBM 5285 kinda-computer/kinda-terminal: https://goo.gl/photos/pTVhWc7mYukBeQjAA
Basically, a System/[34|36] era terminal with a local CPU and a couple 8" floppies crammed in. I received no disks or docs with it, but there are manuals, product releases and other docs for the 5280 line on Bitsavers. What are my chances of finding a bootable disk(s) for this machine? Or failing that, images that could, through whatever wizardry, be written out? The product release doc mentions a number of disk formats used by the line. My drives are the "2D" model, which appear to be the higher density/capacity disks. Beyond that, I don't know what format it would have used. >From the handful of hits I found in Google's trade-magazine scans, I get the idea this line didn't do well. -j
