Hi folks,
My recent haul of stuff from the former Enterprise factory (makers of the
Enterprise 64 and 128, fabled machine that was released too late to save the
company, as usual :) included a pair of prototype hard drive controllers
that I've got pretty much no hope of getting any info on, a RAM checker and
the beast of a machine mentioned in the subject.
Made by STAG in 1984, it's got a model number of PP16A and features a socket
for a cartridge containing the master EPROM and a module containing 16 EPROM
sockets for new EPROMS, so obviously you feed it a master and it makes up to
16 copies.
Under the hood it's actually a 6809 based micro with 2K RAM and the board
has holes ready for 2 COMM sockets, so does anyone remember these beasts?
It'd be great if I could add on the serial ports and talk to it using a
PeeCee for making ROM backups
Hastily taken pictures:
