Cekit 8085 micro trainer

I picked up a Cekit 8085 microprocessor trainer last weekend, model MT-01. Google seems to be of no help - has anyone else here got one of these? There's nothing really specific that I wanted to know, but it's just odd that there seems to be no info out there at all about it. Some of the

Re: Compaq Portable 286 and Portable III - IDE drives?

IIRC, at least some models did support a 500MB drive. (1023 Cylinders, 15 heads, more then 17 sectors per track) If you can find the Compaq EGA board, it will work with the internal monitor, and provide almost usable Windoze. (Look for the connector mid-board) There was also an ATI EGA card

Clock program for COSMAC Elf microcomputer with PIXIE graphics

I've written a clock program to run on an unexpanded Elf with PIXIE graphics. It proved to be quite a challenge to fit it into 256 bytes, but I've now got it working, with two bytes of RAM to spare. There are 12-hour and 24-hour versions. I've released it under the GPL 3.0 license. The source

Able board on eBay

So there was an odd board from Able up on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/311809552775 Anyone know what it was? From the Able product summary it looked a bit like an Interlink/U or perhaps an Enable - although the detailed chip layout didn't look like the illustrations of either. Anyone know?

Re: Able board on eBay

I looked it up a couple of days ago. It's in a brochure on Bitsavers: http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.bitsavers.org/pdf/able/brochures/Able_Computer_Product_Brochures_1982.pdf See page 12. It's one part of a DMAX/16. The same seller had the other half for sale as well (mislabeled).
