Hi all,
Back in the 70's and 80's Philips had a quite popular series of mini
computers called P800, which also branched out to the PTS series and
possibly other.
I don't remember those; I do remember a Philips mini called the PR8000.
That was apparently designed for industrial control, at least judging by
the marketing brochure I have for it. It's the machine on which I learned
assembly language programming. 24 bit machine, French mnemonics. Very
interesting interrupt system. I've never seen any documents about it other
than that one short 10-page marketing sheet.
Then there was a 16 bit Philips minicomputer, P9200? Saw it at the
Evoluon in Eindhoven where it controlled an interactive sculpture called
the Senster. That has been preserved apparently; it would be neat to do a
simulation of it.
