I do have a bunch of floppies for whatever P800 series machine, but
none of them seem to run or boot on our machine. The images are also
on our FTP server along with the service manual. Maybe you can use
them in some manner.

I had a quick look at 6_0.bin. It has a normal layout, 1 boot sector to
start with, 1 user, 3 files. two of which are Load Modules (= programs),
the last one is a textfile with paramters etc. The program seems to be
for testing something, accordng to the texts I found. My guess is that
the user communication is to and from a Teletype ASR or Philips PER3100
operator console or similar.
Could I talk you into zipping the contents of that directory and mail it
to me, or save it as one zip file in that directory?
