For a (very short) song I just acquired a Xerox 1810 "laptop" computer, external power supply, and an 1845 dual disk drive unit at a hamfest. The seller claims it is supposed to work, but I'm still waiting for the internal battery pack to charge. (The battery is probably bad, but I'll give it a chance to charge before I dig into it!) I also received a notebook containing an "installation guide" (how to turn it on, where to plug in this 'n that, how to set the clock, etc.), but I have no information on the BASIC which is supposedly inside, nor how to get it to run CP/M, nor how to access the disk drives, etc.... I bought it mainly for a portable packet radio terminal, so if I can learn how to use BASIC and access the ports, I'll not have lost my $25; anything else will be "gravy"! Can anyone email me any further information? --Myron. -- # Myron A.
