Ours here in NJ came from someone in northern Virginia, who
got in turn got
it from a friend of his at a company called CCI (Computer
Consoles Inc.),
but I don't know the timeframe of that transaction.

   Ahh well, it was a chance at least.   There
weren't too many  
System 8000s in private hands in NJ as far as I'm aware.

Hi
 How much memory did the System 8000 require to run?
I wonder if the code could be adapted to run on an Olivetti
M20.
These could have 512K of RAM for the what they did in
memory
management. The Black & White display only took 16K of
that
space.
 I've added a hard disk to mine so I can run larger code
than
would be practical on a floppy only system.
