Momentum computer

[Nick Sayer]

It's me again. I'm still looking for info or help to rehabilitate this
old "Momentum" computer. Last time I tried, I got pointed towards a
"Sytek" corp in Mountain View, Ca. 411 has never heard of them.

Below is the information from last time. Anyone with any information
about this box, please mail, post, call collect, ANYTHING. I don't want
to just trash this thing, as I believe it to be potentially useful, given
a @#^*@#$&^@$^! system tape.

Newsgroups: comp.unix.questions

I have a "momentum" unix system here and I would like to find out where
I can get a system tape for it. I've posted this question before, but
haven't got a response, so here is some more information.

When the machine is powered up it says,

DIAGNOSTIC BOOT 2-14-84

MEMORY SIZE 00100000
CONFIGURATION 9CEF5780
HARDDISK DIAGNOSTIC

IPL IN PROGRESS
Standalone autoboot

MOMENTUM release 3.1 - Tape system

Later it notes that mem is 889856, and that DMA is installed, driver is
TAPE/SASI, and that there are 2 serial ports.

The system has a meg of RAM, two hard disks (I think), a cartridge tape
drive, and not a scrap of documentation. I would like to rehabilitate this
thing, but am stymied.

No, it was not stolen :-}.

Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks
