A blast from the past

[Terry N4TLF]

IT STILL BOOTS!

Attached are a couple of photos of my homemade "Xerpro", a luggable 
Xerox-820 based CP/M system that was used with packet radio development.  It 
also simulated a LEO satellite for some development work.

After over 16 years of storage and one move, I dug it out, plugged it in, 
and it actually booted to CP/M just fine!  There are three 5.25 inch floppy 
drives (one not working right now), a complete packet modem/SCC, and a 
connector in the rear for the eight inch floppy drive accessory.  Just hook 
an Icom IC-2AT to the two rear mini audio connectors, and I could be 
on-the-air.

I continue on my track to better times.
73, Terry, N4TLF
