Recently, a TERAK 8510 fell off the back of a lorry and into my possession.
It's now functional, but:
   I know practically Zilch about the hardware;
   I know practically Zilch about the software.

All I know is that I'm the proud owner of an LSI-11 in a trendy box with
an 8" floppy drive in the front. It's running UCSD-Pascal (v. II, I think),
and I can glean a fair amount from UCSD books, but I want to know about the
bootstrapping, how it uses its store, how to drive the assorted ports on the
back, and, eventually, how to throw out the P-system and put in something of
my own.
And I've got ~zero software.
Any help would be mucho appreciated.
And does anybody out there in net.micro.obselete land still make
8" floppies?
                           Thanks in advance,
