Hi Bill,

  It's always good to hear from the original designers of this stuff.
Thanks for taking time to write. A friend of mine picked up a Basic Four
just a couple of years ago. It was still in service (accounting) up till
the time they gave it to him. They're good solid machines but you could
anchor a battleship with one! Mike Haas in Brunswick still has one. I'll
forward your message to him.

these computers are still around. This just brings up all kinds of
memories. I was one of the original development engineers at Basic Four
from 1973 through 1978. I wrote all the firmware for the 1300 CPU which
was an enhanced emulation of the 1200 that we bought from (I think)
Microdata, in addition to almost every peripheral diagnostic, most of the
drivers and a big hunk of BB2. So, if the computer museum ever needs a
little background on the company or products of Basic Four, give me a yell.
