An Altos 8000 has just appeared here at the office looking for a home. It has
six apparantly serial ports, a 10M hard drive, a dead Shugart 801, and what
appears to be banked memory. The machine is alive and boots off the hard drive
with some thing I am told is PDOS, a Pascal interpreter.
The subject line says it all. Does Altos still exist? Anybody have a real OS?
How about documentation? One could create (slowly and very painfully) a bios
but not without hardware docs.
