With tongue firmly planted in cheek...
I "found" 11 archive boxes full of 8 inch floppy disks from 1982 to 1990
along with the "diskette handling and storage" sheet identifying the
kinds of disks that can by used with the OASys stand-alone work
stations. It also references the software level "C" through "F". I've
been around this business a long time, but haven't seen these types of
references before.
Excerpts from the diskette usage section: "If your OASys 3000 does not
have a light by the disk drive(s), you may use only SS/SD diskettes,
level C. If your OASys 3000 has a light by the disk drive(s) and SS/DD
or DS/DD drives, you may use Level F or Level G diskettes, but not Level
C. If your system has two disk drives and you're using an 9.1 diskette
in drive # 1, you may use any level diskette from C through 9.1 in drive
# 2." I was worried that I might have to have a specific disk for my
drive 2, but I guess any will work... But, I don't have either drive
anymore...
I did a Google search and found a site referencing the OASys 3000 as a
typewriter-looking thing made by Fujitsu. Does anyone have this type of
system? If so, can you send it to me so I can look at the disks? If I
can't find the hardware and software, maybe I'll just look at the paper
records that were printed as a result of this work... On second
thought, maybe I don't need the disks anymore.
This is just some food for thought as we embark on finding the perfect
technological solution to our problems.
Tongue has been removed from cheek.
BTW, I really do have these boxes of disks and the instruction sheet for
proper handling, storage, and use.
