Research Machines Nimbus-186
Posted: Sat Jul 17, 2010 5:58 pmI just obtained a motherboard off of eBay.co.uk (but I live in the US). I've wanted a Nimbus ever since hearing of them, it being a close *relative* of sorts w/the Tandy 2000. I've heard there are several revisions, not sure which one I have if that's the case (it ain't in front of me). I'll need help getting it running (assuming it works). I've taken the liberty of downloading the files available here (THANKS SYSOP!), but I don't have a floppy that works w/it, presumably (the Tandy 2K for instance used special Mitsubishi floppies drives, 5 1/4" 720k units). Not sure if that's the same case w/the Nimbus. I also have an Amstrad all in one pc compatible (similar to the Tandy 1000 HX), but it's floppy drive is defective altogether.
So I'll be needing some help
. IF anyone is familiar w/the Nimbus, please chime in. And thanks.
