Subject: PX/8 Util Rom, Cable Info, also ICC GOULD CP/M machine.
I purchased an EPSON PX-8 (geneva) quite a while back. It was an extremely
reliable machine except for an occasional ramdisk crash.
About a year ago, the unthinkable happened... The UTIL rom (with PIP, and
all the good utilities) died. What I was wondering is if there is anyone out
there with a UTIL rom and an eprom burner which would be willing to read the
contents of this rom into a file and send it to me (preferrably
electronically)? I have an eprom burner at my home that I can use to program
a new prom, but it's kinda hard without the contents of the rom.
Also, anyone know of any good software for a PX-8 available on SIMTEL or
another FTP site? Any other technical PX-8 information would be wonderful.
And finally, I have an old ICC GOULD industrial computer which runs CP/M.
Unfortunately, the manufacturers of this computer decided not to use a standard
disk type. Anyone know what parameters I could stick into a CPM disk emulation
program such as 22nice or the like to use this? Anyone got any ideas about
what the I/O ports would be on this thing?
Thanks for any assistance,
