I do believe this computer features in Duran Duran''s 1983 video for "Is There Something I should Know"

@Richard Ratcliffe: Consider me interested! :P I used to (have to) work on/through one of those, many moons ago.. $Fred

I have at least two of these TeleVideo TS 806. There are floppy disk and some other docs available. If you have any interest in them you can contact me. I also have CP/M disk and manuals and Dos stuff. One or two boxes of 8" and 6" floppies as well. R

Steven, have a god day for you man.
So, i work in a factory end inside we make those computers.
I fixed a lot off end a liked so much.
HD 10MB ou 15MB, 64kb memory, 360k floppy, etc
Sorry about my english.
By man.

I believe the TeleVideo TS-806/TS-816 actually used RS-422 interfaces to the terminals (~2Mbps). These were sweet machines so long as a rogue client didn''t lock the network... and the ''server'' had a very high parts count and it was ALL critical for proper operation.

I just found one of these all software in the original box and styrofoam and in VERY good condition with the original dox matrix printer all manuals and alot of floppys....

I own one of these computers. I am looking for software to make it work ! Please contact me if you have any. Thank you very much.

Dumb terminals retrofitted with on-board connectionless functionality… Isn’t this sort of what’s happening to Google Chrome OS now?
