Televideo TS-816 Youtube Videoby billdeg Total messages in this thread: 1 Televideo TS 816 - A mutli CPU Z80 system with 128K RAM, 20Mb 8 inch Winchester hard drive and built-in 192Kb/sec tape unit for backups. The operating system is MmmOst with CP/M 2.2 and is capable of 16 simultaneous user terminal sessions. This system would have been used in a small business. The TS-816 was from the high point of Televideo and was certainly "vintage early 80's business machine". The 816's were relatively less expensive than the 1970's style mini computers Televideo strove to replace. Eventually various forms of networked IBM PC/XT/AT type machines knocked systems like the TS-816, TRS-80 II/12/16 and Altos 8000 MP/M systems out of the market. http://youtu.be/zTVvMvvOgDE |

1972 Casio-mini calculatorby billdeg Total messages in this thread: 1  The 1972 Casio-mini was the first handheld calculator. Over 2 million units were sold. This calculator helped launch the PC revolution - how? The inexpensive mini and other early handheld calculators forced other manufacturers, like MITS, out of the market (see MITS 1440)..looking for a new business MITS went on to produce the Altair 8800 computer and the rest was history.

Intel 1974 P1103 Dynamic RAM Boardby billdeg Total messages in this thread: 1  Intel branded RAM board populated with with P1103 dynamic RAM chips. Click image for larger view.
Not sure if the IA078 sticker on the board is the board ID or just a Q/A sticker. The board also has MOS Rev A printed on it. I believe "7410" printed on the board is the production date. More info needed.

IBM PS/2 Model 25 8525by billdeg Total messages in this thread: 1  This is the first computer I bought with my own money, as a college student. At the time this was the perfect system for a school work...no more waiting in line in the computer lab for an IBM XT or MAC SE with the other students. The Model 8525 first appeared in the Spring 1987, just after the initial PS/2 launch.
 Model 1391472 model M "space saver keyboard" had no number pad.
This system shipped with DOS 3.3. I purchased the optional Windows 1.04 "Collegiate Kit" that had early versions of Winwrite and winpaint programs. To print I used an IBM ProPrinter II.

Atari 130XEby billdeg Total messages in this thread: 1  The Atari 130XE Computer.
 Here is a view of the rear ports. Note that a person could still use Atari 400/800 carts on the 130XE model. In many ways the 130XE was the Atari equivalent of the Commodore 128 in that both were backwards compatible and both were primarily used by their owners to run older software originally purchased for an older model system. As with the C-128, there were not as many 130XE-specific software packages was produced.
