Subject: Altos 8000-10A: is a version of CP/M and any harware docs available

An Altos 8000 has just appeared here at the office looking for a home.  It has
six apparantly serial ports, a 10M hard drive, a dead Shugart 801, and what
appears to be banked memory.  The machine is alive and boots off the hard drive
with some thing I am told is PDOS, a Pascal interpreter.

The subject line says it all.  Does Altos still exist?  Anybody have a real OS?
How about documentation?  One could create (slowly and very painfully) a bios
but not without hardware docs.
