There are several connectors : Terminal (?), modem, printer and external disk.
|

|

From the sticker, we know that it was made in San Francisco, California, USA.

Greetings - just picked up the PMC-101 board and will be building a system around it once I can find some working suitable floppy drives. The disk images are out there for this system as is the ROM code.
|
||
|
||
I''ve never owned a CP/M v3.0 system so it will be neat to getting it running. I''ll also build a case for it all from scratch. Would love to share experiences with other users.

Let me try this again. I bought two MicroMate PMC 101 in 1983 while living in San Jose CA. I have since lost my boot diskette and all documentation. Would any one happen to know where I may find one or both of these items? To be able to boot this unit again would realy be nice.

Also called the PMC 101, this PMC MicroMate is a small CP/M computer that "extends" a dumb terminal into a full blown computer. The case is the size of a full height floppy drive, and contains a half height 5 1/4" floppy drive as well as the Z80 computer itself. The system also has stickers on it indicating it was either sold by or OEM'ed by Trios Micro Systems.
|
||
|
||
It comes with 2 CP/M v3.0 boot disks: one for 9600 baud and one for 300 baud. Communications to the terminal is software selectable at boot time, and other baud rates are suppored.
