The 820-II restoration was a fun and rewarding project. It is well
documented, easy to work on. It was also my first ever CP/M computer.
When I was in high school, the 820 motherboards were readily available
for $75.

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.

Rod, others,
I have so far been unsuccessful getting my CQD220A for SCSI HD, and RQDX3 for
floppy to coexist in an 11/83, at least with bsd2.11. I am eager to hear
whether you get both controllers working in the same box, and how.

I suggest asking on the DATAIOeprom list on groups.io too.
I’m looking f
not sure if they actually sell for that kind of

kind of stuff for that kind of money.
It would have been my loss had I written off Mitch on the basis of some
of Mitch's listings expensive, but admittedly rare,
r compatibility with tons of CP/M floppies I have.
I was always surprised not to hear more from other p112 users.
There is a mailing list, but the last post I know of was five years
ago when I asked if anyone else was on the list.

In the 22-bit mode, the exit standalone mode is checked by using the
guaranteed timeout address of 17 760 000 to verify that the timeout
logic works without hanging up the CPU.

pins to stick in the right places while applying just slight turning
pressure with the screwdriver. You may be able to unlock the keyswitch

Hi,
Does anyone have any available? I don't need the paddles, just the
the ON-OFF-ON momentary switches.
I got good ON-OFF address/data ones from Herb Johnson, but the momentary
ON-OFF-ON ones I have are worn out and do not return to center properly.

Hi,
Does anyone happen to have a spare MXV11-B (M7195-XX) they would be willing
to sell or trade?
I'd like to build a small BSD2.11 system from this M8192 from the cheap
board guy on e-bay and need something with a bootstrap ROM.
