This is accurate. The Winch data and control openings are for the
external second hard disk unit (MFM 5.25" ST-412/506 interface). The
internal drive came in 10, 15, and 40 meg varieties.

There are two RS-232 connectors: one for the console terminal, the other
generally used for a serial printer (I use it for a Hayes Chronograph),
and a standard 36-pin Centronics parallel port.

The remaining six connectors are RS-422 NETWORK connections, DB-15, at
800Kbps, over 500 feet, (some have run 1000 feet long). The RS-422
connections are for Networked Workstations that boot off the TS-806.
These can be any TS-800, 800A, 801, 802, 803, 804, TPC (portable),
remote workstation processor (RWP), CP/M-86 TS-1603, or even a MS-DOS
workstation with TeleVideo's RS-422 card. A tape cartridge drive also
can plug in at the sixth workstation port.

Each Workstation is a full-fleged computer, that runs the applications
stored on the TS-806's hard disk(s), in workstation memory, and can
print on local or TS-806 attached printers.

Operating systems for the TS-806 include CP/M 2.2 with TeleVideo's
MMMost network software, Software 2000's TurboDOS, and CBIS's
Network-OS.

Anyone who needs help with any TeleVideo CP/M computer is more than
welcome to send me E-mail, at the following:
