I'd like to find a user's manual for an Altos 8200-1.
I've got an Altos 5/15 that works just fine, and have been trying to get my Altos 8200-1 working.
I've been using the Altos 8000 Series manual to figure out what's going on with my 8200, and it's not working.
I can't find out anything about the 8200.
I'm starting to think as my serial number is something like # 2472, that maybe they changed the model numbers later on. Mine is a multi-user machine (total 4 users, 2 - 8" floppy drives (no hard drive). I know that the 8000 Series manual mentions that an 8200 chassis is a multi-user machine, but there's no 8200-1 listed (and that's what's stamped on the back of mine).
I turn it on, the fan blows air, both floppies spin like mad, but there's no monitor/terminal test, and request to boot from the floppy. I'm using the same settings on the terminal for the 8200, as I do for the 5/15 as both those manuals use the same settings - but something's different on the 8200.
Does anyone have, or has anyone seen an 8200?
