Greetings,
I subbed this list because I was given a rather large & heavy old machine
which the owner refers to as an "Intel MDS225" and I am totally devoid of
any official information about it. It consists of a large, white, main
unit, which houses a CRT display, power supply and a bank of slots, several
of which are occupied by plug-in cards.
The unit also includes a separate keyboard, and a dual 8" floppy drive
housed in a cabinet (which is blue in color), and fits underneath the main
unit. Also supplied is a set of hardware that I believe is for in-circuit
emulation of an i8048 microprocessor. As I understand it, this machine was
used to develop firmware for several products which were controlled by 8048
/ 8749 micros. The owner also said that it runs (or ran, I have not put
power to it) the ISIS operating system.
So what have I got here, and to what potentially interesting use might I
put it? Was it worth the agony of dragging it home and up the steps? :)
Thanks,
