scottinNH Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) I just got one of these PCW8256 "by accident", complete with keyboard, printer and disks! Found in the seacoast Northeast USA, and it has "UL" markings -- so it was intended for the USA market. Though the former owner was a UK expat, and impressed that I knew what "AMS Trading" was, CP/M, and the funky 3 inch disks. It seemed to have been stored in a reasonably dry basement. Still.. I have not powered it up.. I'm a bit afraid to try, until I do some cleaning and eyeball the capacitors. I used to use CP/M at community college, and got heavy use of a CP/M emulator for the Atari ST. Excited to see one can purchase a Gotek for these, apparently. I'd love to locate Zork for it (or better yet: a generic Z code runner, so I can play later titles..) (Oh, getting "By accident" means, I was helping someone house move, but was encouraged to take away pretty much anything in the basement..) I also scored an old Apple 15" RGB monitor probably from an old Mac or GS (but could not find the main computer, unfortunately), and a standalone green-screen display (unsure of type).
