looking for documentation for Sritek 68000 MicroCard

[retrogear]

I recently acquired a NOS Sritek 68000 MicroCard with software drivers but no documentation. It was featured in Byte Magazine July 1984.
It's a 68k coprocessor card with 2MB of ram. It could run Xenix on an IBM XT or AT. Does anyone have a manual for it?

Oh, you've got the 16-bit version.

I have a 16-bit one with no software, and a complete 8-bit one, including the manual ("preliminary", I think) which I can scan and share, if you'll share a copy of your software with me.

@retrogear or @bear I know this has been a while, but would you still have copies of the software for the 8-bit Microcard (68k and 512k)? I recently aquired one and you seem to be the only foIks I can find that might still have it?

If you are willing to sell the software or documentation, let me know, I would like to get my card installed and see if it works. I am in Texas, happy to cover shipping and such.

Just realized I said 8-bit, I realize these might be 16-bit but if you dont mind I would still like to try? I would happy to compensate for copies?

the software for the 16-bit versacard I got from retrogear works with either the 8- or 16-bit versacard but is not compatible with the preliminary version of xenix I have for the 8-bit versacard. The preliminary software for the 8-bit versacard that could theoretically work with the preliminary version of xenix, doesn't actually work with the 8-bit versacard and I haven't been able to understand why yet. It should and yet it does not. There are several folks already interested in the eventual outcome. I'll update the thread if I ever get anywhere with it.

@bear would it be possible to purchase a copy of the current software you have for the card? I can take a digital form and make my own media if you already have it digitized. I have a couple different copies of Xenix for the 386, 286 and 68k, I wonder if I might have a version that works, or cobble together a version. The main factor is having the IOP driver, as its critical to the funciton of the card for my setup.

Here's images made with Dave Dunfield's Imagedisk of the original disks I have.
These are what I sent to bear. No compensation needed. These floppies are 360k 9 spt 5.25"
Rename extension to .IMD before attempting to view or open. Needed to use .TXT to get past the data police.
Hope this conversion works. It used to. Sending files is getting to be more and more a PIA.
