Subject: Televideo TS803H

Hello,
 
I recently purchaged couple Televideo computers: one TS803H with one half
height flopply and one 10 meg hard drive, and one with two half height
floppy drives and no hard drive.
 
The hard drive machines works perfectly, and dual floppy machine
does not.
 
With the pair I did get some manuals: TS803H users manual and the
TeleSolutions word processor/speadsheet/graphics package. And one
boot floopy.  The hard drive was set up to auto-boot and had the
telesolutions software already loaded.  There was also a version
of wordstar on the system configured for it.  The 803HDEMO files
were also on the hard drive as were the utility programs described
in the User Manual.
 
A TS803 manual was not provided, only an 803H manual. Is the TS803
manual much different from the TS803H manual?  Does the TS803 require
a boot floppy different from the 803H? What type of mouse will work in
the mouse port?
 
If you have one of these machines, or hardware information about it,
I would appreciate hearing from you!  There are several upgrades
mentioned in the users manual and demos that sound interesting to me.
I am also interested on the hard drive interface, which is not
discussed at all in the Users Manual.
 
Thanks in advance,
