New subject: TRS-80 MODEL 16B HD is dead

29 Apr 1999

Synertek, by the way, was the earliest of several companies to produce
really high-speed 650x family members.  Their 4 MHz parts, which I routinely
used at nearly 5 MHz in order to support async serial comm's, were the cat's
pajamas back in 1980-81.

Such is the incomprehensible ebay market for vintage computer items these
days.  It indeed makes no sense.

Anyway, Ray Holt, the same guy that designed the F14 CADC, also designed
the SYM-1.  Synertek was his company before it was bought out by
Honeywell.  He'll probably be at VCF 3.0 if you'd like to speak with him.
