Recently, a TERAK 8510 fell off the back of a lorry and into my possession.
It's now functional, but:
I know practically Zilch about the hardware;
I know practically Zilch about the software.
All I know is that I'm the proud owner of an LSI-11 in a trendy box with
an 8" floppy drive in the front. It's running UCSD-Pascal (v. II, I think),
and I can glean a fair amount from UCSD books, but I want to know about the
bootstrapping, how it uses its store, how to drive the assorted ports on the
back, and, eventually, how to throw out the P-system and put in something of
my own.
And I've got ~zero software.
Any help would be mucho appreciated.
And does anybody out there in net.micro.obselete land still make
8" floppies?
Thanks in advance,

Thanks a lot for the numerous replies I've received for my plea for help
regarding the Terak. I'll be getting on to some of you individually, but some
of us in the United Kingdom have problems breaking out & getting across the
Atlantic!
Thanks again,
