Anyone own one in their collection. I have one from when I was younger. Still runs... I am on the hunt for any software and or disks. I have been able to rip the OS and created fresh blank media. As from what I've learned this machine used a special formatted disk by Canon. The disks will have unique labels with "X-8309" on the disks. If you have any I'd love to archive them and create a clean boot disk others can use to boot their system. I'll be at the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest with my Canon CX-1 showing it in operation. So if anyone wants to see a old yellowed computer from the earlier 80s! haha I'll have it there!

Hi Ron, I´ve seen a photo from the VCF Midwest of a CX-1 with a Game running on it. Was that yours ? I also own a CX-1 and i am looking for any software for it. What kind of software do you already have ?
I have only a bootdisk with some simple test utilitys and a Disk with a software for a dental technology company. I can send them as a teledisk image if you want...the issue is that my disks are for German Language and have "Umlauts" for a german keyboard variation.

It was mine. if you can send the disk images that would be cool. Mine is lacking a lot of the tools. I'm trying to locate the originals for the device in my dads office. but with numerous boxes to go though that's time consuming. I have a blank disk image created to remake more floppies. we should swap.. mine had stuff my dad and uncle wrote back in the 80s for accounts and payroll stuff. I did simple programs like the slot machine that it ran at VCFMW. my email is ron.coon.jr@gmail.com if you want to share. And with my skill set we can make a solid boot disk for archival purposes... since Canon no longer has any material or software in their vaults.
