To ALL, including you.
I recently acquired a Xerox 820-II with eight inch floppy drives. I am
in need of advice/information. I know that these drives spin constantly
and am wondering if there is a way/circuit to stop it, ie. to have them
spin up only when accessing. I saw something to this effect recently
posted from an old Microcornucopia (sp?) magasine, but wonder if anyone
here has done the same or has a MC magasine from 1975 that they
could look up. (Please, pretty please...!! :-) I don't have or have
access to the magasine back issues.
Also, I would like to start taking software from here at CRS but need to
get it from my IBM with internal modem to the Xerox. I have a null
modem set up and I can get them to talk text using the Xerox's Terminal
mode. I also have the 'ASCOM' program, but haven't had any luck. Is
there a way that I can bootstrap this up to a better system - I presume
that 'KERMIT-80' on CRS is better, so again I need info.... (Pretty
please with sugar (or nutrasweet) on top...) How do I get a binary over
to my Xerox?
Thanks in Advance for any/all
help.
