Hi,
I have just acquired a DEC Rainbow. After a bit of work it now starts up. Can
anybody answer me a few questions.
o What types of Hard Disk Drives (DEC HDD's) Can It Support, It Currently Has
An RD51.
o What can the memory be expanded to (it is somewhere around 250Kish).
o Is there a word processor that can be used on it because everything I load
gives me the error 16. (Interrupts Off). All I want is something to drive a
Dumb Daisy Wheel (NEC Spinwriter) for one/two page documents.
I have a HDD with MS-DOS V2.05 and no CPM. Three Manuals - Owners Manual, CPM
Users Guide And MS-DOS Adv. Users Guide. No Disks. No Other Software.
Can anybody help me change this beast into something somebody could get some
use out of ?
Thanks In Advance.
Matt
