Motorola EXORset33

[Jack Rubin]

Has anyone still got one of these XDOS machines?
I'd like to find a source of spares for mine (an EXORset 33), and possibly
get another copy of the excellent space invader game which a friend
accidently deleted by formatting the wrong disk :-(
Was there ever a 6809 disassembler available for XDOS?
TIA
Richard

Any chance you will respond to a query 12 years after your post? I've just received an EXORset 110 and lack system disks. Can you help?

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Richard,
I have an exorciser with twin 8" floppy drive. 6800 and 6809 processor
cards. Plus Eprom programmer, maths processor, extender card, etc.
Runs MDOS I think but no promises. If you want it, come and get it
(with your large family saloon). Was working when I put it in the loft
about 10 years ago. I moved up to a FLEX system :) Needs a TTY
terminal, (kermit or Hyperterminal on a PC)
Regards,
Steve

Hi Richard,

If you still have it and haven't slung it out in a house move since your post 12 years ago, would you be interested in selling that system?

If so I would be interested and am in the UK

Hi Jack,

Did you get anywhere with finding some system disks? I have a similar problem

I now have the machine that Jack mentioned in this thread several years ago and still looking for XDOS media too.

I'm thinking might have to port FLEX to the hardware instead ...

Hi Chris,

I recently did a port of FLEX to a FPGA-based 6809 board. If you go ahead with a port you might find some useful material and tools in my write-up here:

Hi Neal. Thanks for that. I'll check it out further. I've already found the page that says you do most of your work on Linux and with PERL. Yea! Cool stuff.

I too "skipped" the 6809 in the day after growing up with lots of 6800 stuff and I also never ran FLEX so it would be two new experiences to get that OS running on that processor here.
