Subject: Xerox something-or-other help?
i've come across this machine made by Xerox. it's got a Terminal module that's
got the CPU inside it.. it's a Z80A machine. connections on the back go to
Comm, Printer, Keyboard, and Disk Drives.
the disk drive module, is unfortunatly shot. (more specifically, the Shugart
1004
hard disk is shot.. it's been blowing up fuses and power supplies left
and right.
needless to say, i've trashed it) the floppy still works. anyways..
the CPU module/Terminal thingy has Xerox v5.00 (c) 1983 rom monitor.
I've managed to figure out most of the commands.. like assemble, insert, dump
save, load, etc. it's also got a command H)ost Terminal. this thing would
make a very nice little terminal if only i could change baud rates.. it's stuck
at 300 bps.
Could someone please tell me
a) How to change the baud rate on this thing.
b) the commands for the rom monitor
c) wether or not i should bother finding the OS for this thing?
Thanks in advance
