Booting a Sirius 1 / Victor 9000 over RS232 from a host machine.
What is a Sirius 1, you ask?
A Chuck Peddle machine, released in 1981: 8088 CPU, runs CP/M or MS-DOS. Yeah, I know …
But hold on – it can do 800×400 px, has a sampler built in, can drive 1.2 MB floppies by default, can have 1 MB RAM – you get it, way better than an IBM PC. And it’s pretty!
