Yup, I meant what you said in yer other message, ie you can't close the case
when its installed.
done like that to make it attractive to schools
etc; originally it was a
simple SBC. I think the memory expansion may fit in the other
side of the
'book', but I'm sure things like the
printer etc don't, and
definitely not
The printer does. It's a little 24 column or so thing, on a eurocard-ish
size PCB. It takes up half of the empty space. The I/O expansion board,
at least the one I have, takes up the entire space, but you can stack 2
of the half-size boards (say printer and EPROM programmer) on top of it. FWIW, I'd like to find an MPF1-P (so I can use the
Forth EPROM I have for
it) or the Forth EPROM for the MPF-88 -- an 8088-based machine, with a
QWERTY keyboard and a 2-line 16 char (or so) LCD display). It's got a
machine code monitor in ROM, and the BIOS is sort-of IBM PC compatible (!)
I'll have a dig round my MPF stuff and see if I've a spare -P.....don't
think so but at least I know where the stuff is :)
cheers
