 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Don. I felt this may be of passing interest to this group as it covers a little bit of Maximite and Duinomite. Dave Jones, through his EEVBlog, is a prominent figure in the electronics engineering community, particularly on YouTube. As of August 2023, his EEVBlog YouTube channel boasts over 915,000 subscribers and has accumulated more than 197 million views across its content. I just sent Dave a little package of some of my early prototype boards, and as a result, he posted this video linked below: I have previously donated my first March 1978 Personal Computer plus other prototype items to the Australian Computer Museum Society. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqDGjcwMsg https://www.dontronics.com |

Some interesting old boards in there Don. PBUFF would have been a fun project to develop. Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

Thanks Glenn, yes was interesting to get a Z80 that would normally address 64K to address 4Mb without address decoders. Just a couple of TTL chips and software. It was at a time when users got a big benefit as it released their computer from the print task. Mind you, the only thing my wife ever understood was my LED moving message boards. At least she could see the jumping telephones, crocodiles etc. Don... https://www.dontronics.com |
