Hi all, I have a Panasonic Sr. Partner with the original embroidered carrying bag which is in lovely condition. It fires up and both disk drives appear to work. The computer is an XT-class PC compatible.
I can't, however, seem to boot it into any early version of DOS i throw at it. There is no BIOS screen or anything at startup, it just is blank for a bit until it pops up with whatever disk error it decides to show when it reads the disk. I have gotten two seperate disk error messages, either Not a valid disk, or the disk is unreadable (paraphrasing here.)
This makes me think it requires the special Sr. Partner disks to boot. Anybody happen to have copies of this software or disk image files lying around? Would be much appreciated!
