For a (very short) song I just acquired a Xerox 1810 "laptop" computer,
external power supply, and an 1845 dual disk drive unit at a hamfest.
The seller claims it is supposed to work, but I'm still waiting for the
internal battery pack to charge.  (The battery is probably bad, but I'll
give it a chance to charge before I dig into it!)  I also received a
notebook containing an "installation guide" (how to turn it on, where
to plug in this 'n that, how to set the clock, etc.), but I have no
information on the BASIC which is supposedly inside, nor how to get it
to run CP/M, nor how to access the disk drives, etc....

I bought it mainly for a portable packet radio terminal, so if I can
learn how to use BASIC and access the ports, I'll not have lost my $25;
anything else will be "gravy"!  Can anyone email me any further
information?
