The
Micom seems like an amalgum of most of the above. It looked like an
oversized Pet or TRS80 mod.2. At the moment it's buried with brochures ,
club
newsletters and programs under about 5 printers and
other assorted items.
I've
always thought of it as an S-100 but I am a complete
novice regarding them.
I'll be digging it out in the next couple of weeks and will have more info.
It used a large Shugart 8" fdd about the size of an XT and had a Qume
daisy-wheel printer that had a massive external power supply. I don't
think it
had any internal smarts. It had an excellent WP program
and limited graphics
capabilities. It was modem capable and Philips had a program for that. I
remember the newsletter mentioning that 3rd party suppliers could provide
modems (and I imagine cards) so I would suspect it had a common bus. They
also had a fairly lengy article on the differences between synchronous and
asynchronous transmission IIRC.
I'll get back to you when I excavate it.
