Hi Everyone

I am new to this mailing list & thought a quick few lines as introductory would be ok.

I'm a 23yo South African male Systems Developer (Read: microsoft monkey).

Recently I acquired a lot of old computer systems and since then I have been collecting everything I can find that pre dates the general PC era.

I will post a URL with a complete listing of all my current goods but here's a few I thought i'd mention seeing as there is very little about these on the internet:
Intel Prompt 80, MDS-800 & ICE. I also have various atari/commodore/hp/epson/sharp/ncr computers & handhelds.

As far as i know i have one of the only few surviving Multitech Microproffessor II (MPR II) machines which is a slightly modified clone of the original apple 2 & apparently the first apple clone to be shipped out of taiwan.

Back to the intel stuff, who can help me learn to use the MDS & Prompt 80 machines? Programming on a IC level has always been something I've been wanting to get into but alas no newbie resources are readily availible.. is the Prompt 80 ok for this purpose?
