Thankfully, I was using a T1 at the time I first looked at this page and
didn't notice the size of the images. The first thing you should do is
reduce them from RGB to Grayscale. I tried it and it doesn't reduce
image quality at all. Also, does anyone currently own the rights to
this? I would like to make an HTML and DVI version of it, which would be
much easier to read, since it wouldn't involve as much horizontal
scrolling.
Now, some questions about the computer itself.
A) How much did it cost in 1998 dollars?
B) Was there ever a DIGI-COMP II?
C) What type of plastic was used in it?
D) Has anyone tried to make one?
E) How popular was it?
F) What year was it terminated?
Basically, a brief history.
Due to popular demand, I have finally gotten around to
adding the DIGI-COMP 1 Assembly Instructions to the
collection of other scanned DIGI-COMP 1 manual pages at
http://galena.tjs.org/digicomp/ . They are all 300 DPI
grayscale images - in other words, huge! The parts list
alone (Page 1) should be immensely helpful for those
wishing to create their own DIGI-COMP.
Thanks to everyone who e-mailed me over the past few
days!
