better firmware it could be nice but didn't happen.
That makes me wonder if new firmware could be created now? What uP
did it use to control the electronics?
Its my first Hazeltine for my collection. And no, I don't expect
I'll
actually be sitting at it doing coding :-P.
I seem to recall the 1420 being built around the 8080. Not sure
about the 1400, but I strongly suspect it's a very similar design.
It was 8048/9 not 8080. The 1500 series was 8080.
Indeed, I was quite certain my *1420* was 8080-based, so I went
and dug it up...when I found it, it was a 1510. It must've changed
from a 1420 to a 1510 when I wasn't looking. ;)
But it (the *1510*)
was indeed built around an 8080. :)
And sadly, it is quite dead...powers up and says "BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
*" interminably. Anybody got schematics?
