Subject: Otrona Attache PC Info

A friend and I recently picked up a couple of Otrona Attache CP/M machines
at a company garage sale.  They appear to be neat little portable CP/M
machines: two DSDD 5.25" floppy drives, hi-rez graphics (well, as hi-rez as
you can get on an itty-bitty 4" screen), battery-backed clock, sound chip,
two serial ports and an expansion slot.  One machine is fully functional;
the other's motherboard is dead.  We got one Attache user's guide, boot
disks and some application software in the deal.

We would like to see if anyone out there has any schematics for the main
board.  We would gladly pay for the cost of copying, shipping and handling.
Maybe we have the software that someone else is lacking and can swap.

Also, one of the machines (the dead one) had an 8086 coprocessor board
installed in it.  It also has an IEEE-488 port on it.  We installed the
board in the working machine but it did not cause any difference in
operation.  Supposedly there are CP/M-86 and MS-DOS boot disks for the
coprocessor board.  If anyone has information on this board or has the 8086
disks please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Greg
