Hi, I'm not prepared to lay out $200 for these Xerox ROMs, but if I do manage to get them, I'll read and share them. I did not know there were 5.0 ROMs for the 820-II, but it appears there were, and they are included. https://www.ebay.com/itm/184980603844 Mark -- Mark G. Thomas , KC3DR

I have a Xerox 820. I don't know how to tell if it is a -II or not. It is marked as U05-013264 September 1984. It powers on and boots the monitor. Looking at the PROMs, they are labeled: U33 5.0, U34 5.0, U35 5.0, U36 5.0, U37 4.01, U38 4.01 At some point, I need to ask someone to make me bootab

There are guides online, the differences are documented, I believe you can tell from the outside. Bezel color is not always a 100% indicator. Floppies are at least easy for them! If no one else can do it, ping me and I can run off a set. Thanks, Jonathan ‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐ On We
