ARM Evaluation Kit - yep - that's the one. I do have various discs and

at one, and could cut and paste between them.
Ahead of it's time...
It's all boxed up somewhere under the stairs though.
If you could dig out Disc 1 and make a copy, I'd be very grateful. I have
an ARM Evaluation Kit too, with most of the manuals, but my Disc 1 is
corrupt (blank track right in the middle of the assembler file).
Yep, sure, no probs. Email me your address off-list & I'll send you a copy.
That was about
the time I was still single, working for Ferranti Computer
Systems (and I've never seen ANY of their computers lying about
anywhere... )
Hmm... I know someone who has just acquired a chunk of one -- not sure how
much, but "most of it" is possibly a fair description.
While I worked there, it was just as an apprentice, but I had a long play
on one of the computers destined for a fire brigade. That was a weird
system. Terminals seemed to be on a polled system - Fill in the fields
and press Send key. Odd, compared to the interactive stuff I was used
to. But I see it all again now, on web forms! I visited one of them
in-situ at Bradford Police, too, to install a modification to a board that
I had designed. Did you know they had an adventure game on it that the
operators could access if they had a spare moment.. lol.
