Subject: Altos ACS 8000-2 needs a home

My old reliable computer needs a new home.

It is an Altos model ACS 8000-2.  This is an industrial strength (big,
sturdy, and heavy) CP/M machine with:

       - 64k memory
       - 2 Shugart 8" dual-density floppy drives
       - 2 serial ports (one connects to a terminal as console)
       - 1 parallel port (centronics printer)
       - single board (no backplane)
       - CP/M 2.2
       
Comes with original manuals, schematics, and other detailed
technical documentation, as well as original packing material.

It also comes with OPRA 7.4. This is a version of CP/M 2.2 enhanced
specifically for this machine (but compatible with all CP/M software).
Enhancements include increased disk capacity, disk i/o speed,
interrupt driven type-ahead buffer, and others.

I also have other tools and programming languages with documentation.

Make an offer, any offer, and come take it away.  Alternately, suggest
a group or organization to whom it would be more benefit than trouble,
and I will consider donating it.
