Joe,
Thanks for the information. I'm located in northern Virginia just
outside Washington, D.C.

Marty,
I think it uses the S-100 bus. According to their manual, North Star
used the same disk controller in the Horizon that they sold for the S-100
systems. I have a NS S-100 controller. They are the same electricaly and
software wise but maybe physically different.
Sounds like a neat system, I've never heard of one having a hard drive.
Keep me posted.
BTW where are you? I'm in Orlando, Florida.

Joe,
I don't know if software is available but will ask. Does the NS
horizon use a S-100 bus? I was told the unit I'm (hopefully) about to
acquire has an internal 10MB hard drive. i'm going to go eyeball the
unit within the next few days.

Marty,
I have some manuals for the NS Horizon; disk controller, DOS, BASIC,
Pascal. I'm looking for the software.

Does anybody have any information on a North Star
Horizon? I may be
acquiring one of these soon but don't know much about it except that
it has wooden side panels and used to support a half-dozen terminals.
Is it a S-100 bus?
Thanks for any help-
Marty Mintzell
