Hi Dick,

Though I never got "into" the Digital Group
hardware to any extent, it was
made here, in the Denver area, and since I once worked for one Robert
Suding, who was one of the DB principals and the mind behind many of the
decisions (except the ones made by Dick Bemis, the "business-head") and who
still lives in this area, albeit in retirement, I do have a couple of DG
boards, and have had a small exposure to the stuff. They made several CPU
boards to go with their various CPU's and, depending on which CPU you have,
I may be able to help you with some software. My interest, however, was in
the 6502 CPU, which means I will be of little help if you have the 6800 or
Z80.
Thanks for the information on the digital group. I'm very interested
in the history of these older computers, and especially the digital
group.
It's the Z-80 kit that i built. The system had 4 boards - no fancy
cases ;-). However, my nephew has the system at this time, but I'm
hoping to get it back sometime. Good to hear that there are others
out there interested in digital group systems. I was _very_ impressed
with the system back in the 70's and it performed very well for me
for years, and i was disappointed when they folded. I only regret
that I didn't purchase the other 3 processor boards - 6800, 8080 and
6502. I would like to play with these now.
