Subject: Western Digital PASCAL microengine /
p-system.
I have also been scanning all of the WEB sights
that have information
about
UCSD PASCAL and obsolete and disappeared
computers and I find no
reference
to Sage Computer Technology of Reno, NV. They
made the Sage II/IV
systems
that came with UCSD PASCAL installed. They were
M-68000 based systems
and
probably ran other operating systems too.
Anybody remember them?
If you mean what I think, I have two of them (Sage-II's). A Sage-II is a
cream-coloured box with dark grey front and rear panels.
From memory (they're stashed away somewhere)
they're about 14" wide x 17"
deep x 3.5" high, with an 80-track
half-height DSDD 5.25" floppy in the
front, and a power LED. On the back there's two serial ports, parallel
port, power connector and switch, and some other stuff (can't remember
what). Mine have 128K DRAM, of which 64K is directly accessible to the
p-System, and the rest is used as a RAM disk. One of the serial
linesconnects to a terminal (I have drivers for VT-100 and VT-52).
If you want more details, I don't have any manuals (except the standard
p-System manuals) but I could dig one out and describe it more carefully
(ie, more accurately :-)).
I've never seen another OS run on one, but if anyone has any other OS, I'd
be happy to try it out :-)
