Subject: Wanted Osborne Executive ROM & BIOS Listings

 
    I am planning on making some modifications to my Osborne Executive.
    What I plan is to do the following:

       1.  Build a replacement memory board to add memory banks 2-6
       2.  Replace my 5 1/4" (180K) floppies with 3 1/2" (720K) floppies
       3.  Replace the Monitor EPROM (a 2764 with a 27128) and put in
              some addition built in functions.

    I have schematics and just about have the artwork for the memory
    board done.  However to get 2 and 3 above accomplished, I need the
    listing to Osborne Executive ROM Monitor version 1.44 and BIOS code.
    Does someone out there have the Osborne Technical Reference Manuals
    that contains the source code listings?  Can I make some arrangement
    to photocopy or scan them in?

    I have also talked to two people who said they had hard drives in
    their Exec's (when they had them).  Does anybody have any technical
    information on this?
