Hi all!
I'm an old Alpha Micro guy (in every sense of the phrase) - started back in the S-100 / CDC Hawk days...
Recently I purchased a very nice AM1200 on eBay. The only downside is that it did not come with a disk drive.
So I'm looking for a drive with the OS on it, or some help configuring one.
I have a lead on getting it set up with a SCSI to SD emulator, but I need to know what drive the the current boot proms are set up for to configure the emulator.
Any thoughts or ideas would be most welcome.
The ROMS installed appear (C) 1985, 178-00 and 178-01 rev B05
The model number is PDB-01000-61 it has 3Mb RAM and the extended serial ports (total of 12).
It runs all self tests correctly with Terminal output ...
