All this talk of S100/Northstar/etc.... make me remember what I
believe was
a Northstar Advantage I used for a bit in college.....
I remember it was laid out like a Radio Shack Model III system... all
in one,
monochrome screen with 2 floppy drives built in to the right, etc....
I've always wanted to find one of these.... but never have... I'm not
sure my
memory is even correct (is it the Northstar Advantage ?).
Yep, that describes the Advantage. It's a much *denser* package than
the Model III (I swear it weighs like 80 pounds). I have one here (with
the optional hard drive) on the shelf. It runs but I get no
picture/raster onscreen (the neck of the CRT lights up, however). Seems
like the HV section is dead but I'm too chicken around monitors to debug
it...
Anyone have one in the MA/RI/NH area have one they don't want ?
I'd offer mine, but I'm on the other side of the continent...
