NOPE NOT A BIG RTE PERSON - BUT YES THERE WOULD BE MULTI SERIAL BOARDS IN SOME INCOMING PROCESSORS RAN IT ONCE AND PLAYED WITH IT... BROKE 1000 SYSTEMS DOWN AND SOLD THE PIECES. THE ONLY SYSTEMS THAT WE SUPPORTED SOFTWARE WISE WERE F AND THEN ACCESS THIS 21 WHATEVER IS THE SKINNY ONE! DOUBLE SIDED KEY - AND IF I REMEMBER WILL YANK IT UP OFF THE FLOOR IN MY OFFICE TOMORROW AND SEE THE # BUTSUSPECT 2108 AS ABOUT ALL I REMEMBER LIKING ABOUT IT WAS IT HAD THE BOOT BUILT IN ,GRIN!. WHAT I DID NOT LIKE WAS IT WAS NOT CORE MEMORY. SURE WERE FUN TIMES... ALTHOUGH THERE WAS ALWAYS A FOND SPOT FOR THE 21XX STUFF... I GOT REALLY OCCUPIED WITH THE 3000 AS A COMPUTER THAT I WOULD REALLY USE. IN THE EARLY DAYS OF RUNNING THE ACCESS THOUGH WHAT GREAT FUN AND THE 100 BOARD BBS/MULTI USER CHAT/VOTE AND POL/EMAIL AND MOST GAMES WE DID GOT MOVED TO THE 3000.

Progress! HP 21mx/whatever processor works with double sided key... (I forgot model#) Thank goodness for that guy ion ebay selling them! I got 2... one to use...and one to loose/put in bag of keys. Now to replace the fuse holder on the back... that is mushed. It has ... of all things 3 tty boards in it? what is with that? Multi user without a mux? Has 2 memory boards think I remember 64k total. need to find a paper tape basic to play with. Any other advice? Ed#
