Hi everybody-
First off my e-mail address changed. I used to be rws(a)ais.net, now it's
rws(a)enteract.com.
Second, at the LAMARSfest yesterday at Grayslake IL (which was pretty
poor- a few expensive C=64's, lots of expensive PC clones, and not much
else), I got an Oneac ON! computer. (Actually somebody was holding a
"weird CP/M computer" for me there.) It's a black box about a foot square
by 3" tall, with no on/off switch, a huge capacitor inside across the
rectified mains to keep the switcher running for a while in case of power
failure, and serial console I/O. It has a ONFILE (basically a RAMdisk) of
2 MB, in 4256 DRAMs. A 5 1/4" DSQD floppy is permanently connected by
ribbon cable. It appears from the somewhat sketchy manual that it runs
ZCPR. Upon plugging it in and waiting 30 seconds, hitting CR gets a nice
main menu with choices of a (decent) monitor, initialize the ONFILE, run
Z-system, and a few other things. I can't get it to load from disk to
init the ONFILE yet but I didn't try very hard yet.
Has anyone even heard of this thing? It looks pretty neat. I hope I can
get it running.
