Hi all --
I've been working on getting a Xerox 1186 workstation up and running
again, using the floppy images on Bitsavers. I have the "Medley"
Interlisp-D software installed (after writing out and installing from
~25 floppies) and running and I'm attempting to load in the related
libraries
If interested, please contact me off list.
Thanks, Paul

Quick documentation check ... I think I made a mistake :-(
TM11 and TMB11 are very different!
I am no longer sure that you can connect a TU10 to a TMB11.
Should probably indeed be a TM11.
I should check docs first, next time ...
