I've archived all the unique floppies that came with my 8350 (there were
many duplicates), which came to 28 disks. I've put images up at:

Images are provided in the raw SCP (SuperCard Pro) format and IMD
(ImageDisk) format. It's pretty trivial to co
Dave is right, I have bagged the VT220 and will be collecting it soon. They
are indeed quite hard to come by. Perhaps you could offer the university a
swap for their VT220? I mean a PC with putty on it might suit their needs
just as well.

Oh... I guess that will be equally good for my 11/730 :-)

Thanks for the links. I'll take a look. I probably stand more chance
looking at my University. I was in the server room the other day
clearing some space. On one of the shelves they had a VT220 connected
up to an old Solaris box. Very stylish!

I think the pool of equipment in the UK is much smaller than the USA and

the USA.

My oldest equipment has a mix of DTL and TTL.

Hi,
Is there anyone with a good set of 8/e prints who could help me narrow
down some troubles?
My 8/e was working a few years ago, but now it's developed some problems.
It seemed to work fine for about the first 2 minutes that I tried it, but
then it developed these two symptoms:

Nice! Mine only has 160MB. Still it works well, apart from the NVRAM problem.
