[comp.os.cpm] TeleVideo TS816/40

ac959@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Ed Grey) (07/15/90)

I'm the proud new owner of a couple of TeleVideo TS816/40 and a 
TS816H/40.  Unfortunately these beauties came without any 
documentation or tapes (the 816/40 has a built in tape backup).  
One of the computers has TurboDos installed.  The TS816H is just 
a 40 meg HD (with power supply) in the same size case as the 
TS816/40.
         
I would like to locate documentation on the 816/40 and 816H/40, 
as well as TurboDos.  While I'm at it, I'd also like to find out 
something about a "TeleVideo PM Interface" card that has a ROM 
labeled "180010-18C /1605N".  The card has RS-422 port (DB-15) 
and it looks like it plugs into an IBM (or clone) slot.  Can 
anyone help with information on these cards, I have several of 
them.
      
Finally, does anyone have any of the cards which, when plugged 
into an IBM (or clone), would allow the IBM to be use as a 
workstation off of one of the TS816/40's?  Thanks in advance for 
any help you can provide.  Take care.

Hmm. Interesting.

Gosh, sounds like you 'have several of them'.

The Televideos used a DB15 RS-422 arrangement to communicate to the server,
and it sounds suspicously like the cards you're trying to get info on are
the cards that you are looking for.
