Greetings all!
H'lo...
Some questions for y'all..
1. Anyone else have a SWTPc S/09 system? If so, I'd really like to hear
from you!
I've got one in the collection. Needs a good cleaning, a boot disk, and
some docs... B^}
5. Do you actually _use_ your machines or do you simply
collect them
(which is just fine! I'm curious to see how people use them)
Mine tend to be in intermittant (if not frequent) use. Most reciently one
of my Altairs ended up hooked up to a DEC card reader, feeding data to my
PC, which... well... that would spoil the story! A longer form of the
story can be found on my web pages (see sig below) along with pix and (if I
get the time this weekend) an AVI clip of the operation...
While we're in the SWTPC arena, a question for the group:
I'm looking for some information, software, and docs on a recient addition
to the
collection.
The item in question is a board marked as a 'Digisector DS-68' from 'The
Micro Works'.
The board has a 1978 copyright on it, and appears to be designed for use
with an SS-50 bus machine such as the SWTPC 680x series of microcomputers.
Curiously, when it came to me it had been mated (fairly elegantly,
fortunately) to a MITS 4PIO board, apparently for use with an 8080 or Z-80
based system. (by someone with the full docs I would suspect)
I'd like to get it going in its original configuration/system. Any
assistance appreciated!
