I just picked up a DS-1201 and it has similar tape drive but also a board with Hitachi z180 with two scsi controller chips and appears to be capable of copying the HD to tape and back with a button from the front. If anyone is interested I can send more info.

@tunozemichan that's an amazing blog - thank you thank you thank you - arigato! I'm soon going to be a owner of M68 I think, so I'm pleased to find someone already working on it. I remember these machines from my teenager days in Tsukuba Japan.... Back when Motorola 68k was brand new....

I could really use the info about "Configuration Switches" I'm trying to boot a unit without keyboard and want to know how to boot from RS-232 port 0 or 1. Thanks in advance.

So I picked up an XD88 in 2021. The unit has had a bad PS so I've not been able to do much until this past weekend. I figured out a easy way to bypass the PS and feed it +5&+12V using disk drive power connectors(the super common 4pin connector). Now I con confirm it starts up and clears the...

Cool. If you could suggest some names/titles to search for I could go look for them; also at a later date I'll try to reach out to you as well. Thanks

very cute; love it

I'm getting around to doing more m88k work so posting this in hopes that over the next however many years someone will see this. I'm looking for any form of media or archive that has m88k binaries. tapes, tar files, backups anything... Specifically if you have install media or disk image for...

oh this is a neat project! I have a HC-80 and looking forward to seeing more about this.

I repaired a PF-10 last year. Did the OP get what they were looking for? Werner did you get what you need?

I don't have install media but I have a disk image that I can share from my Motorola Series 900

I have a XD88 and am looking for info and or disk images. Can anyone share? Thanks in advance.
