For Word Processing the real standout is WordPerfect. Very powerful, very flexible.

I need a working floppy drive for an IBM PS/2 Model 55SX, IBM part number 72X6068. Hoping to pay somewhat less than the high prices I have found on eBay. The one I am replacing is made by Mitsubishi, their part number MF355C-599MA, though I gather there are equivalent parts made by other...

Hi Matt, We have the BIOS source code for DOS 1.25 and 2.11 for the Victor 9000. The disks are in Paul's uploads. (I think there were copies in the disks you got from me as well.) Yes, there are differences in the hardware for the 9000 and the Vicki, which is why they need different BIOS code...

I just noticed that Paul posted a 40mb version of DOS https://archive.org/details/40-meg-sys-dos-2-93-7-16-89-v2-11-microsoft-inc

Hi Martin, Up to MS-DOS 3.3 I believe the biggest hard disk you can format is 32mb. (This is a limitation of the FAT12 and FAT16 file allocation table formats.) I'm pretty sure it is possible to get a 20mb MFM hard disk to work with a Victor. I have a vague recollection that 30mb might be...

The Victor 9000 Universal Boot ROMs were an update that allowed the system to booth from floppy, hard disk, or network. You can get more detailed information on page 234 of this document. Copies of these ROMs became readily available though Victor User groups and many people installed them into...

Do you have a copy of the HD Field test disk from Paul's archive? https://archive.org/details/hd-field-service-v3-2-v3-2 There is documentation for it in Chapter 5 of the Hard Disk Subsystem manual that Paul posted here...

Pretty much all gone. I think I have one set of dust covers and a VBASICA manual left.

With the help of @pdevine (Thanks!) I was able to get images of many of the ROMs. I've attached a ZIP file of what we got. The files are named to match the labels in the previous post. The chips are 27128 EPROMs.

17 issues of TUG Lines-- Number 1 through Number 18 (with number 9 missing):

Several Borland International software packages from the 1980s. PC format disks. Excellent condition, either lightly used or totally unused. PM with offers for anything that catches your eye. Turbo Pascal 3.0 (MS-DOS Generic): SuperKey file security and keyboard enhancement: Turbo GameWorks...

The items in my previous thread are (mostly) spoken for, so I decided to start a new thread with what's let and what I have recently found. PM with offers for anything that catches your interest. Peachtree 5000 Word Processor and Spreadsheet complete with original disks, box, manuals, and quick...

You are correct. That is exactly what it is.

I've been successful in bringing the files from my Vicki to a modern system. The Attached ZIP file has the descriptions of the files in the public domain software library along with some additional information. The files in the ZIP are basically text files with a few special characters inserted...

1980s office chic-- Victor dust covers on a Victor system. (I have two sets of these covers).
