[comp.os.cpm] Sol-20 S100/8080 computer info sought

fmgst@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Filip Gieszczykiewicz) (03/05/91)

	Greetings. I asked this before, with no replies:

	How does one boot a Sol-20 "Terminal Computer"?
	I have 2 8" drives, cables, and disks that supposedly
	have CP/M & FORTH on them. 

	When I turn on the Sol20, I get the ">" but no matter
	what I type, I get a "?" in return. Not even an error
	message! The system has 3 s100 boards: 16K SRAM, 32K 
	SRAM, and a drive controller. I have no docs - perhaps
	the DIP switches need to be changed.

	The drives are Shugart (sp?) 801s (SSSD ;-) and the disks
	are iffy - that's what 5+ years in a cellar... ;-)

	Take care.

	P.S. Please help, this thing is just sitting there - the 8"
	drive enclosures look more and more tempting for a project ;-)
