   I picked up a portable computer since it had a disk in it that said CPM.
I can't get it to boot but it looks interesting so I thought I'd try to
find ut more about it before I decide to fix or junk it. The computer is
labeled "AEHR Test System ATS-312". It's about 1 foot tall x 1 foot wide x
26 inches deep. It has a keybord that folds down from the front and exposes
two 5 1/4" disk drives and a built in CRT. Inside most of the cards are
marked "Computest Inc Made in USA" but the motherboard is marked "Fox
Motherboard II". A couple of the plug in cards init are marked "64 point
switchboard II" and have 64 pin ribbon cable sockets on the back.
Underneath it has what looks like the CPU card. On it has what I think is
the CPU. It's hard to read but it looks like it says "SGS Z84008B-1". Is
anyone familar with that chip? I can't find any record on it. Does anyone
know anything about the computer itself? AEHR makes test equipment, mainly
for IC wafer testing. I couldn't fin anything out about Fox or Computest.
They're both common names but all the occurances that I cound find were for
unrelated businesses.
