I got an Altos 586 from a friend a while ago,
with an external 2400 baud
modem and a Wyse (50?) terminal. There were no Unix install disks
included. I am looking to reinstall the OS, does anyone know where I
could get a copy of the Xenix that it uses?
Are you sure it uses XENIX? I gave one of these to Will Jennings, along the companion tape drive, a couple of years back.
Perhaps he can help you.
There were Altos' that ran MP/M-II, and others than ran XENIX... ISTR
that the 586 was the squarish-box that ran MP/M-II, while the other
model that had a hi-techish, Datageneralish look to it ran XENIX.
We had both...
