Keywords: word processor floppy disk Message-ID: <1990Jul9.150653.14988@cbnewsm.att.com> Date: 9 Jul 90 15:06:53 GMT Distribution: na Organization: AT&T Bell Laboratories Lines: 25 A friend is trying to make use of an old CP/M XEROX word processing system. I can't seem to find the model number at the moment, but it was an alphanumeric; the system doesn't seem to have a model name. It has 2 8" floppy drives. The owner has a good supply of disks, and has a disk that seems to be a boot disk, but nothing happens when it tries to boot off this. BTW, when powered on, the system comes up with 3 choices: typewriter, wordprocessor, or host terminal (or similar descriptions). Maybe this will help identify the system. To get to my question, does anyone know what this beast is, and can software be acquired to make it useful? It seems to be working OK other than the fact that it won't boot off this floppy - the light comes on on the floppy drive...
