Blimey - I didn't think there were any other Alphatronics left! You're not 
lucky enough to have the disk interface, are you? Supposedly there was a CP/M 
release for them, but I've never come across it.

My uni had scads of them in use as terminals back in the day; the BBC micros 
were far nicer to use! (and the NCD Xterms even better ;)
