Hi, After a lot of effort I repaired a Systems Group 2800 S-100 computer by tracing the electrical faults related to old caps and a 7805 regulator. Now it boots to the hard drive.
The system boots up and asks PASSWORD PLEASE-
I have tried various passwords but none work.
since you can get the system to boot, unless I'm mistaken, I doubt there is any cryptic password encoded in there, if you have a Monitor Rom installed, you can get a Hex dump of memory and disassemble the code and key in on this password prompt, then you should see the password string for comparing the input Dan -- _ ____ / \__/ Scotty, We Need More Power !! \_/ _\__ Aye, Cap'n, but we've only got 80 columns !!
