OK, anyone else here got a Tektronix 8000 microprocessor development system
(either the 11/03 floppy-based one or the 11/23 hard-disk based one)?
In college, I worked with a DEC MiniMINC, a breadbox-sized 11/03
machine, but I've never seen one since. Love to get one.
I forget - are there any other Terak owners out there?
I've got a Zilog MCZ 05-1014 early Z-80 development system that
runs an OS called RIOS - is that pre-CP/M? I found a guy via
Dejanews who has several of this line, Fritz Chwolka(a)nt-gmbh.de .
I've also got a NEC APC-H03, the color version, running MS-DOS 2.11.
It has two NEC 7220 graphics display controllers, one for text and
one for graphics. Resolution was 640x494.

I saw my first PERQ at SIGGRAPH '98, in the 70s booth where I exhibited
my Terak. This PERQ was on loan from The Computer Museum. I can see why
Tony's always babbling about them. It exuded serious funk and sass, even
though the one on display wasn't working - although I never met a rep
Any other PERQ-fanatics here? Any model of PERQ, I am not expecting 3a or
T4 owners to appear :-)
I have a feeling you would be the only person within our list and perhaps
most other computer collectors who has a PERQ. I never seen one, know very
little about them, from the Museum who could tell me about it, the machine
sat dark.
My Terak was one of the few machines running in the exhibit, the docents
happily played Breakout with sound effects.
