For those who want to know a bit more about Philips' history, I can recommend an e-book written by one of the guys in Sweden, where the P6000 series was developped. The P6000 was based on the P800, but extended into a system appropiate for bookings, airline reservations, banking etc. (Link below). The author is Mats Danielson. By the way, the James Bond film "For your eyes only" shows a lot of Philips hardware. The "atomic comb" is a PTS 6272 keyboard with (I think) a display boltet to the back of it. Hilarious, just like the book. /Nico --------------------------- Read my new history book (free e-book) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377777427_The_Rise_and_Fall_of_Philips_Data_SystemsNice! I just flipped through it briefly, and spotted what was the Electrologica headquarters (page 143). And a few pages later there is a bit of history that explains the French origin of the PR8000 (or P8000), which was where I learned assembly language programming. Quite a neat machine but very little documentation of it still exists. paul
I have quite a lot of documentation for the P85x CPU's and other stuff. Let me know what you need.
