(Really OT:) Tandy 6000 Xenix 3.2 disk images available

[Walter D Vaughan Jr]

Last time I fired mine up two years ago, the keyboard was wonky. Either way,
I seem to remember that you could hook up 8 inch drives to a PC controller.
<googles> Yeah, that's possible

I really need to fire it up again to charge up the capacitors. 
And procure a working keyboard. I believe the problem was the silver pad on
the sponge ends no longer conducts properly for most of the keys. Key
presses would happen if I closed the NO connection with an aluminum wad.

    Just in case any of you still need them, this guy has made available the
Tandy Xenix 3.2 disk images for Tandy 6000 computers:

     Now I wonder how somebody would go about unzipping them onto an 8"
floppy disk???
