Nope. The one machine I have of that brand is my Exec, and it hasn't been
powered up in ages, though it did a fairly nice job of 24x80 (or was that
25x80?) on that little 7" monitor. Most of my work on O-1s though was back
in the 1985-1990 time frame, and I didn't take many pictures of anything at
all, never mind digital stuff. :-)
Understood. :) I've never actually seen an Exec in person. It seemed
to be a pretty nice box from their ads in Byte, but of course that's the
point of advertisements.
Hmm, bummer...The hard drive in my Kaypro 10 seems to have died. It
worked the last time I powered it up (~1.5 years ago) but now it just
sits there and blinks the access LED. I can hear it spinning up. I
wonder if it has a stiction problem.

Yep. But it was also a kicker after I'd installed
the screen-pac
for somebody
to see 104 columns on that itty bitty screen. :-)
Eeeeeek! I'd love to
see that. Got any pics?
