FYI... My IMSAI still works. I can boot CP/M 1.4 or 2.2 from 8" disks, and run Wordstar, or a number of other programs. I have a good part of the CP/M and SIG/M user groups libraries as well. I keep recking the b oot disks, however. I forget that the Godbout(sp) floppy interface BANGS the heads into the disc at power-up if the door is closed. Scratch another floppy (literally). Then, its time for MoveCPM, PIP, DDT, and the rest of our friends.
Finding parts for Shuggart 8" drives is getting harder. As a packrat, I still have a few. Along with an Altair 8800, and an 8800B turnkey (front panel-less design). Two H-19's round out that section of the WB4JFI museum. How about a nice game of chess? Terry WB4JFI --- In [email protected], Bob Bruno - K2KI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah....
