I just inherited a tandy model 12 upgraded to a model 16 (and 15MB hard disk).
Unfortunately it has a horrable IBM-like cobol operating system on it
(RM/COS). I would like to get xenix for this so:
- I know very little about compatability & junk on these machines
can someone tell me hardware requirements for various versions
of xenix (disk space, memory space, model, etc)
- Does the version of xenix for these machines have:
C compiler & libraries
Virtual memory
Any quirks I should know of?
- Does anyone have xenix they would like to give, sell cheap or trade
for RM/COS and an old version of real world accounting system?
- Can someone tell a little about the architecture of these machines?
I know they have a 68000 and a Z80 and I beleive that all I/O goes
through the Z80 and that the 68000 has offset/limit hardware for
protection. Any other interesting facts? Anyone have schematics
or bus signal description?
