Lucky me! After chuckling about the demise of Osborne Computer Systems
over the last few weeks, I've inherited an Osborne 1. Actually I'm very
pleased about it, since it I'm not sure I could even afford a terminal
right now; however I now have a few needs:
1. Does anyone know of an Osborne users' mailing list? Rumor has it
that there is a users group. Does anyone have an address?
2. Does anyone know of, or have any experience with, software for
the Osborne that will make it emulate a vt100?
3. I asked a dealer about converting the Osborne display to a
standard 24 x 80 characters. He quoted me a price of $350!
There must be a cheaper way, especially since I am perfectly
capable of installing ROMS, add-on boards, etc. myself. Can
anyone tell me what's really required and who sells it?
Thank you.
