I have made some progress on my Visual 1050 project, and met with new set backs. Such is life
For a brief moment I had everything working perfectly - the system was booting to an external hard drive and I had about every software package that existed in Visual 1050 format installed. CP/M Plus, mouse, everything. ... Then the drive controller died and I have to fix it. That's OK, I pretty much have had to replace everything else
Boot screen, system booting directly from the hard drive
Here is a link to painful restoration project. So far I have replaced all of the keys, the drive controller chip, and found a replacement quad-density double sided disk drive.
