Hi all. Anybody ever heard about this? I found it amusing... I was told by a longtime local DEC employee that DEC came out with the ROBIN (VT-180) to compete with IBM PC and Apple II. He (and other DEC employees) were told this by DEC top management: "The system we wanna target is the Apple II and IBM is coming out with a new computer (IBM PC) code named WORM because it will eat up the Apple. Well, we are coming out with the computer named ROBIN (VT-180) beacause its gonna eat the WORM that ate the Apple...IBM is a 16 bit machine with almost no software running MSDOS, we will be running Z80 CP/M with thousands of available programs" Hmmm....Now I know where the name Robin came from... BTW if anyone need this, I have the full schematics for the robin somewhere around here... Claude http://computer_collector.tripod.com
