Hi Everyone
I am new to this mailing list & thought a quick few lines as introductory would be
ok.
I'm a 23yo South African male Systems Developer (Read: microsoft monkey).
Recently I acquired a lot of old computer systems and since then I have been collecting
everything I can find that pre dates the general PC era.
I will post a URL with a complete listing of all my current goods but here's a few I
thought i'd mention seeing as there is very little about these on the internet:
Intel Prompt 80, MDS-800 & ICE.
Cool! which ICE unit do you have? I have an Intel MDS-800 with ICE-80, an Intel MDS-888
with an ICE-80, an Intel MDS-235 with hard drive with iCE-85 and ICE-86 and an Intel 320
system. I'm also storing another MDS-225 for a friend of mine. Dwight Elvey and Dave
Mabry are also on this list and both have Intel systems and we all use them regularly.
I also have various atari/commodore/hp/epson/sharp/ncr computers & handhelds.
As far as i know i have one of the only few surviving Multitech Microproffessor II (MPR
II) machines which is a slightly modified clone of the original apple 2 & apparently
the first apple clone to be shipped out of taiwan.
Back to the intel stuff, who can help me learn to use the MDS & Prompt 80 machines?
Programming on a IC level has always been something I've been wanting to get into but
alas no newbie resources are readily availible.. is the Prompt 80 ok for this purpose?
A prompt 80? I've never seen one. I've seen a few Prompt 48s but never managed
to buy one. I assume that it's for the 8080 CPU.? I suspect the Prompt 80 wil be
fine, especailly when used with the MDS-800 and ICE-80.
