Hey all,

Someone in one of the Facebook vintage groups that I'm in just picked up a Computhink Eagle 32, an early-ish (appears to be circa 1981/82) 68000-based machine with integral display and keyboard.

On the rear it has a 50-pin connection for floppy and a 34-pin connection for a hard disk, but they have no external peripherals for it, and also no software and documentation. It's quite possible that the floppy connection is simply Shugart; hard disk *maybe* SASI I suppose, skimping on the number of ground lines (in which case it likely ran an external bridge to ST412/506).

Online searching shows up very little about this system; does anyone here happen to have one or know anything about them? This one seems to have a pair of 256KB memory boards fitted, but also (perhaps worryingly) an empty "video" slot - although CRT connections apparently route to the main system board, so there's a chance that there was just a video expansion option not fitted to this particular machine. Still, even if that's not an issue, without knowledge of drives and software it might forever remain in boat anchor territory...

cheers,

Jules
