There is only one non DEC system I have an interest in
collecting and that?s
a NorthStar Horizion. About 1980 I did a lot of development in CBASIC under
CP/M using Wordstar as a programmers editor on one with an attached LSI
ADM3A and Diabolo 630 daisywheel printer.
So my idea is to recreate an actual working set up in use circa 1980
So far I only have a motherboard.
Yay, CBASIC! I did some CBASIC development a loooong time ago too.
It was on an Altos MP/M system, a TS-806 I think, that was running the
homegrown point-of-sale, inventory control, and tagging/labeling system
for a computer store I worked at when I was 13-14 (~1984). I liked it a
lot; so much that I got a copy of it for my home CP/M system. CBASIC is
good stuff.
