Re: "Does this mean that the 850 used the CP/M directory structure, and the same document format as the 860?" No. The 850 had nothing whatsoever to do with CP/M or the CP/M directory structure. The 850 document structure is very similar to that of the 860, if not quite identical. Both have been converted to other formats using the "Xerox 860 File Conversion" and other conversion facilities of the Xerox Star (now ViewPoint) software. The Xerox organizational component which developed the 850 has long since been disbanded and/or reorganized into another located halfway across the country, so it isn't surprising that no-one can tell you anything about the 850 anymore.
