H E L P !
Is there anyone out there who may have done work on implementing some
other OS than CP/M/Z-System on an Ampro Little Board? If so, I'd like
to hear from you.
I'm currently trying to put up an MP/M system on the #$%^& thing, and
it's turning out to be a lot harder than I had thought it would. Any
help would be appreciated.
If anyone has installed CP/M 3, I'd like to hear about that too, if
you're willing to share your secrets.
I picked up both MP/M II and CP/M+ for a song, and I'd like to get both
going, just to see what they'll do.

I just purchased a Xerox 820-II with 8'inch disk drive and internal hard drive. The hard drive has a few programs on it but after trying the reconfigure program without any manuals i changed something i shouldnt have, resulting in not being able to access the hard drive anymore. Its not that the drive is nuked or anything, i just need a dos disk - If anyone has a boot-able system disk for this machine PLEASE by all means leave me e-mail! Im sure i can work out a means of payment. Driving me crazy! I can't use the bloddy machine.. help? Logan Black (206) 735-9067

Sorry if this is misposted, but I have already tried elsewhere and gotten
nothing but sympathy.
I am now the mystifed owner of a Shugart SA-1004 and SA-1400 8" hard drive
and controller, extracted complete from a Xerox-820IIH system (hence
comp.os.cpm). I have no Xerox 820, at least not running, but I have both
an 8" floppy controller, which the SA-1400 will allegedly talk to, and an
ST506 controller. According to some very old docs I got, back when the
first 5.25" disks were shipped, the ST506 is "similar" to the SA-1000 series
interface, which implies to me I can hook this puppy up to my HD controller
as well. For various reasons, the SA-1400/FDC solution is better, but I have
NO DATA except a glossy brochure ca. 1980 on the "entire" Shugart family, up
to the SA-450 and SA-850, plus a glossy on the controller.
I also have an SA-850 that thinks it is a SSDD drive. How do I convince it
it is a DSDD? It came in the enclosure with the HDD, and the HD at least
looks to be brand new, still with the shipping blocks in place.
What have I got, where can I get ANY docs on it, or should I just use it
to replace the desk leg?
Thanks in advance.
