well, having found a NOS magnavox composite monitor, a paintjet printer, and disk drives, I think I am just about ready to do some more serious exploration of the 86B- except I'm missing a few things.
like manuals of any sort. I know the B has i/o and mass storage built in and more ram, anything else?
If no one anywhere has the 86(regular or B) manuals handy (or for sale, I'll scan them in happly) then how useful is the 85 manual in this context? (this applies to the mass storage, advanced programming, etc.)
The next and final question is: is it possible to make a ROM drawer? I can't find one on ebay or anywhere else I've tried to hunt one down.....
specifically for vassilis: I've got some 85 software on tape that I can't really use, with manuals. it appears to be not avilable on series80.org.....
