Hi all,
Back in the 70's and 80's Philips had a quite popular series of mini
computers called P800, which also branched out to the PTS series and
possibly other.
Could I be lucky to find other list members interested in these
products? I know of a few, but there surely must be others. I'm
trying to collect what is left of the documentation.

Wel I am of course, but then you knew that !
Currently I have -:
- a P857
- a P856 missing the box, PS & backplane ( simple enough to reproduce )
- a measuring system based on the P854 CPU ( the same I brought you )
- a P851, missing the backplane, frontpanel, a serial card and the PSU.
- 2 single-chip P800 CPU's
I have documentation on the P852, P956, P833 digital cassette
On software side not much : a single cassette with Fortran & manuals.
Yes, we should get Al interested in these ! But AFAIK they never made
in to the US.
Regards, Jos
Hi Jos
It's nice to know exactly what you have. I'll put it in a spread sheet,
which I'll distribute eventually. It would be nice if we could assemble
some working systems from spare parts laying around. Seems to be a
winter project, just to collect the data :-)
I'll be in touch
