Also an
Aquarius Personal Computer Model 5931R from Radofin Electronics
(Far East) Ltd. Has anybody ever heard of this thing? I sure haven't.
I've heard of a thing called a Mattel Aquarius (or is it Matel?). This was
a cheap (< \pounds 100.00) UK home computer sold in the early-mid 1980's.
It had a blue rubber keyboard, and sounds something like your unit. It may well be a TV RF output. I _think_ the UK
version had a built-in UHF
modulator for our channel 36, so I guess the US version outputs on your
channel 3 or 4. Try connecting it to the aerial (antenna?) input of the TV
and seeing what happens.
If only I had a TV :). I guess I'm going to need to get one.
I thought it had a built-in ROM basic...
I hope so. I really don't feel like I own a computer until I've
written a BASIC program on it!
