  Intel Prompt
80, MDS-800 & ICE.  
  Cool! which ICE unit do you have?  I have an Intel MDS-800 with ICE-80, an  Intel
MDS-888 with an ICE-80, an Intel MDS-235 with hard drive with iCE-85 and 
ICE-86 and an Intel 320 system. I'm also storing another MDS-225 for a friend of 
mine. Dwight Elvey and Dave Mabry are also on this list and both have Intel 
systems and we all use them regularly.

 I also have various atari/commodore/hp/epson/sharp/ncr computers & handhelds.

to get into but alas no newbie resources are readily availible.. is the Prompt 
80 ok for this purpose?

   A prompt 80? I've never seen one. I've seen a few Prompt 48s but never 
managed to buy one. I assume that it's for the 8080 CPU.?  I suspect the Prompt

Hi
 Prompt48 is for the 8048/49/35 parts. I don't have one of
these but I do have a Prompt 2920.

 80 wil be fine, especailly when used with the MDS-800 and ICE-80.
