Subject: Televideo TS806/20 Info Requested

Today I was given a system that is tagged as TS-806/20. I'm assuming, at 
least for the moment, that it is a TS-806 computer with a 20 meg hard 
drive. (I know there's a hard drive but I've not been able to determine 
what kind it is yet)

The system came with five TeleVideo 925 terminals with keyboards.

According to what little info came with the system, it seems to run a 
network-type system called MmmOST with CP/M R 2.2.

Ok, the problems:

 1) No boot disk. (5.25" floppy drive so assuming this should be a 5.25" 
    floppy diskette -- about 368k I'd imagine.

 2) No cable for the hard drive. Two openings on the rear of the machine 
    are labeled WINCH (DATA)  and  WINCH (CONTROL). I'm assuming this is 
    where the cable is supposed to snake through.

 3) The cables for the workstation terminals had been severed so I'll 
    probably need new ones. They seem to be RS-422 D-style connections 
    (15-pins).

The questions:

 1) Where can I get a boot disk either with or without MmmOST? Cost?

 2) Where can I get an appropriate hard drive cable? Cost?

 3) Will any RS-422 cables work? If not, where can I get the right type 
    for this setup?


The sooner I can get this system online, the sooner I can finish up CP/M 
ZIP as my other CP/M system (BMC if800) bit the big one about three 
weeks ago.

Comments, pointers, tips, etc. are definitely encouraged.

Thanks for your attention. :)
