1986 - around the thime when the big Commodores where about
to decline, but the PC hadn't catched up. A neat CP/M able
machine with lots of RAM, up to two FDs, possible HD and a
good video out (or, to catch the home market with tape :).
A good Basic and some add ons (assembler ? linker ? ) had
been put into ROM. Also I remember there was some kind of
script language to handle terminal I/O - a bit wired, but
you could start such scripts to have an inteligent terminal,
almost like block mode terminals with mask based foratings.
You mention adding FDs and a HD; when I read through the manual, I didn't
see reference to that. Nor did I see any obvious place to connect them.
What did I miss, and how do they get connected to the unit? Or were there
different configurations available for the same model? When I took a look
at it last night, it sure looks like a nice machine!!!
