Re: I ran across this strange modernistic  Data General ...odd  computer

G'day Zane - Like every other computer system created, the Desktop Generation has its own set of quirks and wonders. It was an interesting evolutionary repackage of the microEclipse processor, but I never saw a customer or user site actually using the Model 10's MS-DOS "compatibility

Re: I ran across this strange modernistic  Data General ...odd  computer

Thank you Bruce, I took quick look through, and will need to go back and read up on the hardware bits, Chapter 4 looks like it goes into the stuff I’m curious about. I’m normally a software guy, but this is one case, where the hardware is of more interest. Thanks, Zane > On May 21, 2018,

Re: Kaypro 2000 charging

catching up late to this thread...what is the power supply rating for a 2000, and if it's dead will removing the battery allow a person to fire it up or do you have to have a working battery to apply power? I forgot I have one of these buried in my laptop shelf. b On Mon, May 21, 2018 at 1:30

Re: MS11 M8110/M8120 controller card differences

11/35 vs 40, I think there was some attempt to discriminate between the two, as the /35 with no added boxes was a great little machine cost and performance wise, I recall the timing being different when going through the prints for the two machines, got parts for 35 out of surplux, checked the
