Xerox 1186 Questions

Hi everybody out there!

I got 2 Xerox 1186 machines. Now I've got the problem to connect one of them to
my PC. I need this connection, to transfer software for the Xerox, which I got
via FTP, from the PC to the Xerox. One of those disks contains the PCL, another
contains a pacman for the Xerox, so I really need them ;-)

Are there any possibilities to read/write the Xerox-Floppies in the PC? Or can
I connect those two machines via serial cable? What kind of cable (null-modem
or normal serial) do I need? I have only the Lisp-User-Files from Xerox for the
1186, so the only protocol for serial communication I have is the kermit
protocol. Can I transfer binaries with it?

And another question: I got the machines without manuals. Is there anyone who
has some manuals, he/she could send me? I need all manuals, I can get for it.
So if you have programming manuals or technical manuals or anything like that
you don't need anymore, please send me a mail, so I can get them. I have the
Lyric-Lisp system and the Executive 12.3 on my machine.

And the last question for today: one of the machines is running very well. The
other runs the base-system, but with every sysout I install on it, I get an
error "0935" - what does that mean? Any suggestions to repair it?

bye, Georg

PLEASE NO BINARIES AND NO MAIL > 16KB
My gateway is not capable of mails > 16KB, so please don't post any big mail or
binaries to me, because I would have to pay for it. Thank you.
