Hi,
"Main power breaker on, push button A, wait 30 sec, push button B". Anyone
played with a drum memory? ;-)
My first "PC" was a self-built industrial development system (a bit like
the Intellec 8), based on an 8085, with twin 5-1/2" FDs, 80kB each, &
E-prom programmer. I upgraded the font in the "dumb terminal" to include
lower case (a small wiring change & a new character-generator E-prom).
BTW, I have also worked with 8" FDs, 80- & 96(!)-column cards!
Regards,
Richard.be

When I opened the message, I found that Stephen Bird had written:
Hand up, here. Are you talking HD 5.25" or (was it) 360? lol
How about an amber monitor? Another hand up here. :-)
286? Sure.
You guys have a short memory!!
286??? You had that speed demon? You should get a speeding ticket?
How about 8Mhgz.....floorboarded?
Don't even ask about the modem speed!
Regards,
Jim
