- I purchased an EPSON PX-8 (geneva) quite a while back. It was an extremely
- reliable machine except for an occasional ramdisk crash.
-
- About a year ago, the unthinkable happened... The UTIL rom (with PIP, and
- all the good utilities) died. What I was wondering is if there is anyone out
- there with a UTIL rom and an eprom burner which would be willing to read the
- contents of this rom into a file and send it to me (preferrably
- electronically)? I have an eprom burner at my home that I can use to program
- a new prom, but it's kinda hard without the contents of the rom.
-
- Also, anyone know of any good software for a PX-8 available on SIMTEL or
- another FTP site? Any other technical PX-8 information would be wonderful.
-
- And finally, I have an old ICC GOULD industrial computer which runs CP/M.
- Unfortunately, the manufacturers of this computer decided not to use a standard
- disk type. Anyone know what parameters I could stick into a CPM disk emulation
- program such as 22nice or the like to use this? Anyone got any ideas about
- what the I/O ports would be on this thing?
-
- Thanks for any assistance,
-
