This is DEC. There were whole manuals on P/OS as well. I don't know if 
they are online anywhere. I have paper copies...

But installation is pretty much just insert floppy, and select 
installation from the menu. P/OS is all menu driven.

The floppies can be found at Update. However, they are in teledisk 
format. I should have them as just image dumps somewhere as well...

However, if that would be useful depends on whether any software on the Pro would allow the usage of the serial ports in that way to log in.
