Dustjacket (3rd printing) states: 'Using "worst-case" design, this book explains how switching time and drive capabilities and requirements of all the essential digital computer building blocks may be calculated, and how these blocks may be assembled in chains to perform computer-type logical operations. Methods for performing computer logic to obtain maximum operating speed and pyramiding factor are analyzed in detail'; 'The author received his M.S. in Physics from Columbia University, New York, in 1939. During World War II he served as a Captain in the Signal Corps, in charge of radar maintenance teams and depots in the European Theater of Operations. Working at Brookhaven National Laboratory after the war, he designed the frequency-control system for the 3-billion-volt Cosmotron, the highest energy particle accelerator built to that date. Later, Mr. Pressman joined Raytheon Manufacturing Corporation as Senior Design Engineer on RAYDAC, one of the earliest high-speed general purpose digital computers. Subsequently he was with Remington Rand for three years as Chief Electronics Engineer on the UNIVAC high-speed printer, and has since acted as consultant on vacuum tube, transistor, and magnetic circuits, for leading companies in the digital computer field.

Includes source code. 'This article describes in detail the kernel for a real-time interactive multiprocess operating system (RIMOS for short). RIMOS was intended to extend the Intel MDS system and because of this the kernel subroutines make use of Intel's ISIS. (The Intel monitor was used only at the start to load ISIS.) However, the source code that will be listed later is basically usable on any computer using the Intel 8080 microprocessor, except that one would have to write a file system and make some simple changes to eliminate reference to ISIS.'

Includes source code. 'This article describes in detail the kernel for a real-time interactive multiprocess operating system (RIMOS for short). RIMOS was intended to extend the Intel MDS system and because of this the kernel subroutines make use of Intel's ISIS. (The Intel monitor was used only at the start to load ISIS.) However, the source code that will be listed later is basically usable on any computer using the Intel 8080 microprocessor, except that one would have to write a file system and make some simple changes to eliminate reference to ISIS.'

Stantec ZEBRA: Valve (1957) and transistor (c.1964) versions. Programmed in Normal Code and Simple Code. The ZEBRA (Zeer Eenvoudig Binair Reken Apparaat) was designed by W. L. Van der Poel for the Dutch PTT but produced by Stantec in Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales. The first machine was delivered in 1957. One remains at the TechniekMuseum Delft, part of Delft University. The descriptive advertising sheet states that the machine had a 33 bit word length, an 8192 word magnetic drum storage unit spinning at 6000rpm, a maximum access time of 10ms, output to punch-tape or a printer, and had a monitoring CRT to display the contents of four stores at any time. It required a 3kVA power supply. It was made up of 3 parts: The Computer Cubicles housed the store, arithmetic and control units, as well as monitor and test equipment; The Control Desk had the I/O equipment and operating controls; The Power Cubicle contained the power supply unit. The electronic design was modular, so units could be removed for testing, replacements being slotted in.

The BBC Master was an enchanced version of the BBC Model B with a 2MHz 65C12 CPU and 128Kb RAM. The Master 512 was a Master 128 with 512Kb-1Mb RAM and an internal 80186 processor. The Master Turbo was a Master 128 with a 65C02 second processor. A Master Compact was also briefly released with a 3.5" FDD and no cassette interface. A version of the Master was used to create data for the BBC's Domesday project. These machines were enhanced with a 65C102 co-processor, a Genlock video overlay card, and a SCSI interface card for controlling an adapted laserdisc unit. They had a red label with the white text: 'British Broadcasting Corporation. Property of BBC Enterprises Ltd. Domesday System. Return to BBC Enterprises Ltd, 80 Wood Lane, London W12 0TT' and a code number in black marker. They ran VFS (Videodisc Filing System) v.1.7.

The ARM Development System was a second processor for the BBC Master. In 1987 the Acorn Archimedes was launched as the first RISC-based microcomputer with the A305, A310, and A440. The R140 was an adapted A440 running UNIX. Next to launch was the A3000 in an Amiga-style case. The A410/1 was released alongside a rebadged A440/1 and an A420/1. R225 and R260 UNIX machines followed with a RISC OS version denominated the A540. The A5000 was launched in 1991. The following year a portable version was released as the A4. Next the A3010 and A3020 upgraded the basic A3000 design. The A4000 was released as a mid-range machine. A5000NS machines had either Econet or Ethernet networking. The first second-generation RISC computer was the RiscPC600 in 1994, sporting the new 'slice' case design. Next came the RiscPC700. The A7000 was launched as a replacement for the A4000. In 1997, an A7000+ was released. Phoebe, a StrongARM RISC PC, was due for release in September 1998. On September 17th 1998 the plug was pulled. The RISC OS lived on and a range of machines were built to run it. Acorn became Element 14, finally vanishing on 24th November 2000, when it was acquired by Broadvision.

The PCW8256 to PCW10 line were nicknamed 'Joyce'. The PCW16 had a new OS called 'Anne' produced by Creative Technology. PCW models have a 3" FDD, PcW models have a 3.5" FDD. The PCW8256 (256K RAM, 1 FDD) and PCW8512 (512K RAM, 2 FDDs) were sold as word processors but ran BASIC, DR-LOGO, CP/M Plus, and GSX and were used as general purpose computers. The mainboard and (3" 360K DS) FDDs were built into the side of the 13" green screen 90 x 32 VDU. The machines were supplied with a 90 CPS dot-matrix printer in a bundle. The PCW9512 (1987) was an 8512 with a paper-white monochrome display and a 720K 3" FDD. It was supplied with a daisy-wheel printer. The PcW9256 (1991) had 256K RAM and a 3.5" FDD. The PcW9512+ (1991) was a 9512 with a 720K 3.5" FDD. The PcW10 (1993) had 512K and a 3.5" FDD. The PcW16 (1995) had 1Mb DRAM, 1Mb Flash RAM (OS and files), a 1.44Mb DOS compatible 3.5" FDD and ran the Rosanne GUI on a 640 x 480 monochrome paperwhite screen powered by a Z80 at 16MHz. It also had a lot of bugs and rapidly vanished. The PC1512 (512K RAM) and PC1640 (640K RAM) are lower-cost PCs with a bundle of software and hardware enhancements. The PPC512 and PPC640 are portables with 8MHz 8086 CPUs, 8087 maths co-processor socket, one or two 720K 3.5" FDDs, and 640 x 200 LCD screens supporting CGA, MDA, and text modes. The PPC512 has 512K RAM. The PPC640 has 640K RAM, and an internal modem (V21, V22, V22bis, V23, and V24, ie. 300-2400 baud with 1200/75). Both portable machines come with MS-DOS 3.3.

The Apple II (1977) had a 1MHz 6502 CPU, 4K-64K RAM (adding 4K or 16K chips to increase the memory), internal keyboard and PSU, 6 colours at 280 x 192 hi-res, 16 colours at 40 x 48 low-res, 8 expansion slots, the first for ROM/RAM upgrades, and ports for composite video o/p, a cassette recorder, and game paddles. It ran Integer BASIC (by Steve Wozniak, resident in the ROM with an assembler and disassembler). Apple DOS 3.1 arrived in 1978 to support the 143K 5.25" Disk ][ FDD. The Apple II+ (1979) had 48K RAM minimum, and ran [Microsoft's] Applesoft BASIC (by Randy Wigginton). The Apple II Europlus had a mono PAL TV output. The Apple IIe (Enhanced) had a considerably revised circuit board and was released in January 1983 with 16K ROM, 64K RAM (expandable to 128K with the 80 column card), support for upper and lower case, DOS 3.3 or, later, ProDOS. In March 1985 the 65C02-based enhanced Apple IIe appeared with 32K ROM, 128K RAM, and 80 column text. The Apple IIe Extended was introduced in 1987 with an additional numeric keypad, a smaller 80 column card, and new memory chips.
The Apple IIc (April 1984) was a portable Apple II with a 1.4MHz 65C02 CPU, 128K-1Mb RAM, 2 serial ports, a mouse port, a FDD port, and a 9" green Flat Panel Display. It ran MouseWorks, a ProDOS GUI. The Apple IIc+ (1988) had an internal 800K 3.5" FDD, mini DIN-8 ports, and ran its 65C02 at 1MHz or 4MHz. Discontinued: November 1990.
The Apple IIGS (September 1986) had a 2.8MHz 65C816 16-bit CPU. It could be slowed to 1MHz for compatibility. 256K-8Mb RAM, 7 expansion ports, RAM card slot, modem port, printer port, ADB mouse port, AppleTalk support, 3.5" and 5.25" FDD ports, and an RGB monitor connector built-in. It could display 640 x 200 pixels at up to 16 dithered (4 true) colours, and 320 x 200 at 16 true colours. It ran ProDOS and GS/OS (a Mac OS style GUI). Three ROMs were used: 00 (128K ROM and 256K RAM), 01 (revision of 00), and 03 (256K ROM and 1Mb RAM). Discontinued: December 1992. [Source: Andy F. Mesa's applemuseum.bott.org]
A UK clone of the Apple II was licensed as the ITT 2020. Known unofficial clones released in the UK included the Base 64A (of Middle Eastern origin). The MicroProfessor MPF-II was stated to run 'most existing Apple II software'.

Announced 19 May 1980. 2MHz 6502A CPU. Built-in keyboard and a Shugart 143K 5.25" FDD. Initial model had 128K RAM, 80 x 24 text, 560 x 192 hi-res mono, 2 serial ports, and 4 Apple II expansion slots. It ran Apple SOS 1.0 ('Sophisticated Operating System'). Inadequate space in the machines permitted no internal fan, they heated up, and the chips popped from their sockets (14,000 were replaced). A 5Mb ProFile HDD was made available later as an option. A revised model had 256K RAM and new motherboard sockets. The Apple III+ had 256k RAM, a new logic board, a working built-in clock, improved ports with standard connectors, easier card installation, and ran Apple SOS 1.3.

PET stands for Personal Electronic Transactor. CBM stands for Commodore Business Machine. 2000 series, 3000 series, 4000 series etc. The original PET was the 2001 with multicoloured 'chiclet' keyboard with calculator-like keys in non-staggered rows, built-in cassette recorder and display. Later 2001s had a full-size keyboard and no internal cassette recorder. 'Old ROMs' contain BASIC 1 (asterisks on boot screen); 'New ROMs' contain BASIC 2 (hashes on boot screen); the third generation of ROMs contained BASIC 4. On early PETs the command POKE 59458,62 will give you a faster PET at the expense of some screen stability. On later machines this won't work, merely distorting the screen, and it may damage the computer. There are a number of commands on the PET known as being the 'poke of death', POKE commands reputedly capable of killing a PET. This may have something to do with the popularity of the machines in schools, and the fertile imaginations of their younger users.
Original Model 2001 (4K, 1977); 2001-8 (8K RAM); 2001-16 (16K RAM); 2001-32 (32K RAM); 2000 series had 1MHz 6502, 14K ROM, 1K VRAM, built-in 9" mono screen (40 x 25 text), built-in cassette recorder (dropped from later models), IEEE-488 port, parallel port, user port, cassette port inside the case, running Commodore BASIC written by Microsoft. The 2001/B does not have graphics characters displayed on the front of the keys. The 2001/N does.
In later series, the internal cassette recorder was dropped, and PET became CBM. The machines still used a 1MHz 6502 CPU, but the ROMs were improved to give faster machines. 3000 series (Rebadged 2001 machines; 1979): 3008 (8K RAM); 3016 (16K RAM); 3032 (32K RAM); 4000 series (1980, BASIC 4, internal 9" green screen, 40 columns): 4016 (16K RAM); 4032 (32K RAM); FAT-40 machines are later 4000 series machines with 12" monitors; 8000 series (1981, internal 12" green screen, 80 columns): 8032 (32K RAM); 8064 (64K RAM); 8096 (96K RAM); 8296 (96K RAM); 8296D (built-in 8250 FDD added); 8296GD (hi-res graphics added).
The SuperPET SP9000 (Micro-Mainframe; MMF9000) was developed in conjunction with the Department of Computer Science of the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, in 1981. It had both a 6502 and a 6809 CPUs (sharing memory), 48K ROM (kernel and Commodore BASIC), 96K RAM, built-in green screen (80 columns). An 8032 could be upgraded to a SuperPET.
The CBM-II P-Series ('P'-Personal) was scrapped, but the CBM-II B Series ('B'-Business) made it to market with a 1MHz 6509 CPU, 128K-1Mb RAM, up to two built-in 5.25" FDDs, and a built-in 12" 80-column colour monitor. Rights to these machines were ultimately handed over to the Chicago B128 Users Group, gratis, by Commodore.

Originally conceived by Jay Miner, creator of the Atari 800. The A1000 was released in 1985 (UK: 1986) with 8K ROM, 256K RAM (upgrades to 512K internally, and ultimately to 10Mb), internal 880K 3.5" FDD, and a 7.16MHz 68000 CPU. AmigaDOS was written by Metacomco. Early machines ran ABasiC. Later machines had Amiga BASIC by Microsoft. It was replaced by the A500 in April 1987. With 512K RAM and a 68000 CPU the A500 was still being manufactured in 1991. The A2000 was a 'big box' version of the A500 released in March 1987 but with 1Mb of RAM. There were a number of variants: the A2000A, A2000B (known in the UK as the B2000), A2000C, A2000HD, and A2500. The A3000 (1990) had a 68030 CPU and 1Mb RAM with four Zorro III slots, a video slot, and a CPU slot. Variants include the A3000T (tower configuration) and A3000UX running AMIX, a version of UNIX. The custom chips were called Super Denise (video), Fat Agnus (MMU), and Paula (audio and I/O). The A1500 was a UK-specific variant of the A2000 released in 1990 with 2 FDDs and 1Mb RAM. The A500 was replaced by the A500 Plus (68000, 1Mb RAM) in late 1991 when supplies of the original A500 dried up. The A600 replaced the A500 in 1992. It had a smaller case and a PCMCIA slot instead of the side expansion port, a 7.16MHz 68000 CPU, 512K ROM, 1Mb RAM (expandable to 2Mb, or 6Mb via the PCMCIA slot), internal 880K 3.5" FDD, and an optional hard drive (in the A600HD model). The custom chips were called Agnes (MMU), Daphne (video), and Portia (audio and I/O). The A4000-40 was launched in September 1992 with a 68040 CPU, 512K ROM, 6Mb RAM, FDD, HDD, four Zorro III slots, a CPU slot, and a video slot. The A4000-30 followed in March 1993 with a 68030 CPU. The A4000T was an A4000-40 variant in a tower case. The A1200 was launched in October 1992 with a 14.32MHz 68EC020 CPU, 512K ROM, 2Mb RAM and a PCMCIA slot. The A1200's internal FDD is a DD 880K 3.5" type. The case can accomodate an internal 2.5" HDD. The custom chips were named Alice (display controller), Lisa (graphics co-processor), Paula (audio and I/O), and Gayle (system address decoding and IDE). Escom purchased the brand and re-released the A1200. There are numerous third-party co-processor boards and tower cases designed for the A1200. The CD32 is a games console that could be turned into an A1200 compatible computer with the addition of a keyboard, disk drive, and SX1 module. [Sources: Various, including www.old-computers.com.]

The CUBIT microcomputer was purchased board by board from Control Universal Ltd. of Cambridge to produce a 6502-based computer using the standard Acorn bus in a Eurorack. The CUBIT was a developed from the Rockwell AIM 65 to produce a system that could function as an SBC or be linked to Acorn Eurocards.
EuroCUBE-65 was a 6502-based Eurocard SBC compatible with the languages available for the BBC Micro, notably BBC BASIC. EuroCUBE-09 was a 6809-based version allowing FLEX to run on the CUBE Eurocard systems. EuroBEEB is an enhanced version of EuroCUBE-65 designed as a stripped-down, industrially presented version of the BBC Micro, lacking sound generation and speech synthesis. BEEBEX was an extension card permitting BBC Micros to interface to CUBE Eurocards.

Dansk Data Elektronik sold in the UK through their subsidiary Digital Data Electronics. The SPC/1 used a 2MHz 8085A CPU (a 5MHz version was available) and came as a cased 13-slot motherboard, with 2 built-in SS SD 90K FDDs, an internal PSU and fan, 2 serial ports (printer and VDU terminal). It used a 100-pin bus (not S-100), a bootstrap loader in a 2708 PROM, an AR9511DC maths processor, an Intel FDU1791-A disk controller, and could handle up to three 5.25" or four 8" FDDs. It ran COMAL and MIKADOS.

The Dragon 32 runs its CPU at 0.89MHz. It can be overclocked to 1.7MHz from software using POKE 65495,0. Use POKE 65494,0 to return to normal. A proportion of later Dragon 32s cannot use this and it can damage components. POKE 65497,0 offers an even faster (and more dangerous) overclocking option that loses the screen display. Use only for arithmetical functions. To return to normal use POKE 65496,0. [Source: The Dragon Notebook edited by Ray Smith.]
The Dragon 64 first appeared at the PCW Show at the Barbican Centre, London, in 1983. Defaulting to 32K, the EXEC command releases the additional memory (around 40K is free). The new (grey) model also had an improved keyboard with auto-repeat keys and better keypress scanning, and a serial port.

Computers supplied initially as kit by Heathkit, an electronic kit supplier. The same machines were sold ready-built, prefixed 'WH', rather than 'H' or 'Z'. In 1979 the Zenith Radio Company had bought-out Heath in an attempt to enter the personal computer business. Later Heathkit machines were badged Zenith Data Systems, the Heathkit H89 becoming the Zenith Data Systems Z89.

PC series: IBM PC (August 1981; 8088); PC XT (March 1983; 8088); PC XT/370 (October 1983; 8088, System/370 emulation); 3270PC (October 1983; 8088, 3270 terminal emulation); PCjr 'Peanut' (November 1983; 8088, 64K-128K RAM, 180K FDD, 2 cartridge ports, 2 joystick ports, serial port, UHF TV port, IBM (RGB) monitor port, composite monitor port, 20 x 25, 40 x 25, 90 x 25, and 640 x 200 hi-res, up to 16 colours, ROM and cartridge BASIC or PC-DOS 2.10, external keyboard); PC Portable (February 1984; 8088); PC AT (August 1984; 286); Convertible (April 1986; 8088 laptop); PC XT 286 (September 1986; 286).
PS/2 series: Models 25 (1987; 8086); 30 (1987; 8MHz 8086); 30-286 (AT bus; 10MHz 286); 50 (1987; MCA bus; 286); 50Z (1988; MCA bus; 286); 55SX (1989; MCA bus; 386SX); 60 (1987; MCA bus; 286); 70 (1988; MCA bus; 386); P70 (1989; MCA bus; 386 portable); 80 (1987; MCA bus; 386 tower). MCA stands for Micro Channel Architecture, a proprietary IBM bus intended to replace the ISA bus. The remainder of the industry went for the cheaper EISA bus and then PCI. MCA was fast, but proprietary and expensive.
IBM PC Clones. Note: Some machines have switchable speeds for compatibility (using a 'Turbo' button or a command in software). On 286 models, 8MHz was often a switchable compatibility option (for IBM's Token Ring card for example). On 386 models, a range of speeds was offered by a series of releases of CPUs of different speeds. Some models represent a range differentiated by a suffix denoting processor speed, drives, or mono/colour. Early models (8086 and 8088) were not always 100% IBM compatible.

The IRS-DIALTECH service allowed UK users to access the IRS (Information Retrieval System) based at the European Space Agency (ESA) in Frascati, near Rome. IRS-DIALTECH was administered by the Department of Industry, London. Connection to the system was via two London phone numbers, one operating at 300 baud, the other at 1200/75 baud. 110 baud access was also available. There were substantial charges (in International Accounting Units) for accessing files on top of the phone charges. The service could also be accessed via EURONET and PSS.

Designed and built in the UK by The Micronics Company, Twickenham, Middlesex. Z80 CPU, Monitor ROM, 2K RAM expandable to 64K, cassette i/f, video output, TV output, ASCII keyboard, PSU, and cabinet. RS232 and 20mA current loop i/f. Kit or pre-built (c.1978).
Produced by Tangerine Computer Systems of Ely, Cambridgeshire. 6502-based and sold board-by-board. 1K RAM, 1K (later 2K) monitor ROM (TANBUG). 20-way hex keypad or a full ASCII keyboard. Chunky Graphics option offering 64 x 64. Lower Case Graphics option. TV output. An expansion board (TANEX) offered 4K ROM, 10K Microsoft BASIC ROM, 7K RAM, 32 parallel I/O lines, a serial port, XBUG (a 2K extension to TANBUG containing an assembler, disassembler, and cassette interface firmware), and a cassette interface (300 baud CUTS and 2400 baud proprietary). Other boards offered 40K RAM (TANRAM) and a disk interface (TANDISC). Tangerine supplied a 'mini-rack' case that held the Microtan, Tanex, and a PSU. Alternatively the system could be rack-mounted.
Microtan Computer Systems Ltd. later (c.1985) produced a single board controller based on the Microtan 65 design. This had the same bus as the Microtan 65 allowing it to use the same expansion boards, but could be configured to use the 6802, 6808, and 6809 CPUs. A 6502 CPU could use a clock frequency of up to 1.5MHz (twice that of the Microtan), CBUG ROM and the option of a BASIC ROM. A 6809 CPU could be run at 1MHz or 2MHz using a TVBUG ROM. The single board controller card contains no video circuitry (a VDU card was sold separately).

The Multibus standard was originally developed by Intel. It specified four busses, called the Multibus System Bus, the I/O Expansion Bus (iSBX), the Execution Bus (iLBX) and the Multichannel I/O Bus. The multibus system bus was adopted as IEEE 796, and the iSBX bus was adopted as IEEE P959. In the early 1980's, Intel created Multibus II, which was later adopted as IEEE-STD 1296. The development of Multibus II led to the original Multibus being termed Multibus I. [Source: Sokos, Mark. Multibus I online (1997).]

Z80-based. Originally a kit-based board-by-board design on the Nas-Bus (sometimes compatible with Gemini Multiboard 80-Bus cards). The Nascom 1 (Z80 SBC with 1K EPROM, 2K RAM, 1K of which was used for the display) was originally sold by Lynx Electronics, the UK subsidiary of North American Semiconductors (NASCO). The design was subcontracted to Shelton Instruments. The Nascom 2 (Z80A, switch selectable 2/4MHz, 10K ROM (2K NAS SYS-1, 8K Microsoft BASIC), additional 2K graphics ROM (3 graphics modes), TV output 48 x 16, cassette or teletype i/f, RS232, 16 programmable lines of I/O) was sold as an expandable SBC or as part of the cased 'System 80 Total Option Concept'. The System 80 case held the Nascom 2 board, up to 4 expansion boards, a keyboard and a PSU (3A unexpanded, 5A with 4 expansion boards). Nascom machines were sold by Nascom Microcomputers, Chesham, Buckinghamshire. When the company ran into difficulties, a group of dealers gathered under the MicroValue banner to support Nascom users and develop the hardware. Nascom Microcomputers was bought by Lucas Logic of Warwick, and the MicroValue dealers continued to support various 80-Bus compatible systems (ie. Nascom, Gemini Multiboard). The Nascom 3 is based around the Nascom 2, cassette or disk-based, running NAS DOS or CP/M. The Nascom Micro-Ed was designed for the educational market. Under a controversial deal, funding for the purchase of computers for UK schools was heavily directed towards the BBC Micro and the RML-380Z.

Rack-mounted 6809-based system produced by Ralph Allen Engineering Co. of Norwich, Norfolk from September 1984. 1MHz or 2MHz 6809 CPU card (Issue 3), 16 slot 96-way back bus card, 32K RAM/EPROM card, 80 column colour VDU card, Parallel I/O card, RALBUG Monitor on EPROM, Disk controller card, running FLEX or SK-DOS. Promised for 1986 availability: 128K/512K RAM/EPROM card.
Promised specification for October 1986 availability: 8MHz 68008-based SBC, up to 1Mb RAM, colour, 81 x 25 text, 162 x 75 block graphics, serial port, 4 parallel ports, WD1793 FDD controller supporting up to four 3.5" or 5.25" drives, SS/DS, SD/DD, 40/80 track, MC146818 battery backed real time clock, RALBUG in ROM, running SK-DOS 68K (which also allows the running of SK-DOS and Flex).
RCA COSMAC-based SBC, ROM monitor, 2K-32K RAM, Tiny BASIC option, colour option, sound option, built-in hex keypad, QWERTY keyboard option, internal speaker, 8-bit I/O, CHIP-8 interpretive language, cassette i/f, video monitor o/p.
Research Machines systems were distributed through SINTEL, Cowley Road, Oxford.
The 280Z was a cheaper version of the 380Z, comprising just the CPU board and video board, built and tested.
The first production models of the 380Z were despatched in December 1977. COS (Cassette Operating System) supplied in two 2708 ROMs. 8K BASIC. Cassette interface (300/1200 baud) for two cassette recorders. Monitor and TV outputs. Separate keyboard. Note that the TV output can supply a signal so strong that it swamps the AGC of a TV causing it to detune. Disabling the AGC can fix this. This is less of a problem on older monochrome TVs, otherwise use an aerial attenuator.
The 'Link 480Z' was a low-cost version of the 380Z for networking use in schools with 32K RAM, BASIC, colour display output, internal keyboard, IEEE 488 port.

Created by Allan Miles and Bruce Gordon and sold by MGT (Miles Gordon Technology) from 1989. FDD functionality hit by a ROM bug (a replacement ROM was produced). MGT went into liquidation in 1990. Miles and Gordon bought the machine rights and began trading again as SAM Computers Ltd. Voluntary liquidation followed in September 1992. The rights to the machine were purchased by West Coast Computers in April 1993, who apparently vanished. [Credit: www.sam-coupe.co.uk]

The SC-3000 was developed from the SG-1000 games console. It had a rubber keyboard, serial printer interface, and BASIC cartridge. The SC-3000H had a proper keyboard built-in, Z80A CPU, TMS9929 graphics processor (256 x 192, 16 colours), cassette port, and the Sega SP-400 plotter based on the Tandy CGP-115. BASIC cartridges include IIa, IIIa (with 16K RAM), and IIIb (with 32K RAM). A problem on the TMS GPU causes the first two columns to be displayed off-screen on UK TVs-Sega's fix was to reduce the screen display to 38 columns, although software may not take account of this. The SF-7000 Super Control Station had a 3" FDD, Centronics parallel port, RS232C serial port, and 64K RAM.

Listings. Includes a program by Ian Logan that allows programs to run directly after being loaded, a program by Eric Deeson offering LEN functions, a program to re-sequence program lines by Egidio Debono, a long string handling program by R. Urquhart and two games.
8K ROM, 1K-16K RAM with 3rd party RAM packs up to 64K. Touch-sensitive keyboard built-in, expansion port, cassette port, monochrome UHF display. The original 700mA PSU was replaced by a 1.2A PSU when the ZX Printer was released. The TS1000 had 2K RAM, the TS1500 was a TS1000 in a Spectrum-like case with 16K built-in.
In The First Sinclair User Annual (London: ECC Publications, 1982) pp.58-60, Dr. Ian Logan noted the ROM bugs, reporting that about 100,000 ZX81s were supplied with an early ROM with a fault in the SLOW-FAST handler that made the machine crash unless the user included POKE 16437,255 at suitable places (ie. after every PAUSE) in a BASIC program. The early ROMs also had arithmetical bugs, one of which was corrected in about 20,000 machines (Summer 1981) with a hardware fix that effectively changed the code at location 1735h. The improved ROM appeared in machines sold from September 1981. The same publication details the ZX81's memory map and the use made of it by third party peripherals (pp.62-64). In an edition of Understanding Your ZX81 ROM examined, Logan noted in addenda at the front how to identify a new ROM: (a) PRINT 0.25 ** 2 gives 0.0625 and (b) PRINT PEEK 54 gives 136. Both tests are necessary. New and old ROM differences are also detailed.

TI-99/4A: 16-bit TMS9900 CPU, 26K ROM including 14K TI BASIC, 16K-48K RAM, built-in cartridge port, 32 x 24 16 colour TV display, user defined character sets allow the effective graphics resolution to appear as 256 x 192, 40-key built-in keyboard, PSU and UHF TV modulator supplied as separate units, audio through the TV speaker. Capable of using two cassette decks CS1 (R/W) and CS2 (W). The cassette interface includes motor controls, but the system doesn't use filenames. Uses a TMS9918A video display processor, a TMS9919 sound generator, and a TMS9904 clock driver. A version of the TI-99/4A was produced in a beige plastic case in June 1983. All manufacturing of TI-99/4A products ceased on 1st November 1983. A TI-99/2 monochrome microcomputer was to have been released in 1983, but the reduction in price of other colour micros made it uneconomic. It would have had a 16-bit TMS9995 CPU, 4K standard RAM, cartridge port, cassette port, Hexbus port, expansion port, and TV port.

8" disks were single-sided, single-density (SS SD); single-sided, double-density (SS DD); or double-sided, double-density (DS DD). 5.25" disks were 46tpi (tracks per inch) for 35 or 40 track operation, or 96tpi for 77 or 80 track operation. Either single-sided (SS) or double-sided (DS). 45 track disks were also produced. Sold as 'soft sectored' or with 10 or 16 hard sectors. 3" disks are rigid (Amstrad, Sinclair +3) and could be inserted either way up, being physically double-sided. 3.5" disks are rigid. DS double density (DD) format to 720Kb on a PC and 800Kb on a Mac. DS high density (HD) format to 1.44Mb on a PC and 1.2Mb on a Mac. Both are 135tpi and 80 track.
Cassette recorders typically had 3.5mm Mic(rophone) and Ear(phone) sockets, sometimes with an additional 2.5mm Rem(ote) socket to turn the motor on and off. Earlier models often had a DIN socket as well. Mains power (especially with a step-down transformer in the body of the recorder) could cause problems with mains hum. A mains cable for a cassette recorder is typically an IEC-320 Type C7 'Figure of 8' 2 core cable.
If you buy a (digital) MiniDisc recorder, make sure it has a Mic input or a Line-In input as you require. Different models have different specifications, especially in these facets. Note too model number suffixes. MiniDiscs can sometimes make exact copies of discs using a special feature, but normally record using ATRAC, a lossy compression algorithm applied on recording. Repeated re-recording will reduce considerably the quality of the recording, although once recorded, the data will not then degrade, and the medium is regarded as OK for about 30 years (in theory). MiniDisc may be a better option than PC-based CDR as many sound cards are very noisy in operation.

The wafers hold up to 255 files and are available in sizes from 16Kb to 128Kb. The QOS wafer originally included VIC-20 and C64 versions of the system software. Later releases were for one or other of the two machines. The later drives come with an 'update' sheet noting the amount of storage on the drives to have been increased by 50%, with faster load and save times. A new Delete command was added, although this merely made a file impossible to load-the space it occupied was not reclaimed. The drives have a pass-through connector, permitting the use of a second Quick Data Drive or a datacorder.

Phonemark Quick Data Drive. Phonemark. Model 8500. 892 or 14k bps. Supplied with a [40]pp manual and a Phonemark Microwafer containing the master copy of the QOS Quick Operating System, copyright Entrepo Inc., 1984. QOS occupies C000-CFFF. The wafers hold up to 255 files and are available in sizes from 16Kb to 128Kb. The QOS wafer originally included VIC-20 and C64 versions of the system software. Later releases were for one or other of the two machines. The later drives come with an 'update' sheet noting the amount of storage on the drives to have been increased by 50%, with faster load and save times. A new Delete command was added, although this merely made a file impossible to load-the space it occupied was not reclaimed. The drives have a pass-through connector, permitting the use of a second Quick Data Drive or a datacorder.

Modern processors may be sold by their clock speed or by their 'performance rating' (PR) according to certain benchmarks. This is not simply a marketing ploy, as the benchmarks can offer a better guide to real-world speeds. Note that two processors of the same speed from the same manufacturer may differ considerably, having different amounts of Level 2 cache memory, a different core, or some other fundamental difference. Always check the part number on the CPU against the manufacturer's website data. Note that some unscrupulous vendors alter the part number. Some also overclock the chip before sale. In both cases the lifespan of the chip is usually shortened. CPU designations are complicated at the best of times. What follows is a rough guide based upon information received, the accuracy of which cannot be absolutely guaranteed. Processors that make it to market in bulk represent only a small proportion of the individual models produced by manufacturers. The chips below are those you are likely to encounter.
FC-PGA (Flip Chip Pin Grid Array) has 370 pins and looks like a Socket 370 but the voltages are different. A P-PGA (Plastic Pin Grid Array) CPU has 370 pins and a plastic mount. A C-PGA (Ceramic Pin Grid Array) CPU has 321 pins and requires a Socket 7 motherboard. 'NX' refers to a chip-based security feature and stands for 'No eXecute'. AMD MP chips are designed for multiprocessing, but all Athlon and Duron chips will work in multi-processor configurations if a single bridge is closed on the chip. FSB (front side bus) speeds are often given doubled (so a 2.0GHz chip would state a 266MHz FSB but run at 133MHz with a 15x multiplier).
8086 introduced June 1978; 8088 June 1978; 80286 February 1982; 80386DX October 1985; 80386SX June 1988; 486DX April 1989; 486SX April 1991; 486DX2 March 1992; Pentium May 1993. Chip features: MMX (MultiMedia eXtensions). The PowerLeap iPT/3 converts a motherboard's Slot 1 to allow it to take a socket 370 CPU. The ASUS CT-479 permits a Socket 478 motherboard to use a Socket 479 (mobile) processor.

5x86 used the 'M1sc' core, a re-engineered 'lite' version of the M1 core used in the 686 CPU. Variously described as requiring 3v, 3.3v, or 3.45v, the voltage requirements on individual CPUs must be examined. A Cyrix-authored document states '3.45v core'. Some Socket 3 motherboards would not work with a 5x86. A 208-pin QFP version was produced by Cyrix. The 120MHz 5x86 was the fastest readily available Socket 3 CPU, comparable to a 90-100MHz Pentium. Level 2 cache (usually 256K) would typically be supplied soldered on the motherboard. Some motherboards accepted L2 cache modules. The AMD 5x86 is a different chip and not a Cyrix 5x86 clone. The 6x86 was a RISC/CISC hybrid-an advanced chip saddled with a slow FPU.

SIMMS come in 30-pin and 72-pin form factors. The earlier 30-pin modules transferred data 8-bits at a time, the longer 72-pin modules (with a notch in the middle) 32-bits at a time. A SIMM swapper allowed four 30-pin SIMMs to be used as a single 72-pin SIMM. The contacts on either side of a SIMM are connected to form a single contact. SIPs had pins rather than pads. Early memory modules are classified according to their access times in nanoseconds (ns). 60ns, 70ns, and 80ns were common (with part numbers ending -6, -7, -8 to indicate the speed). Faster memory can be used, but some systems require an exact rating. The smaller the number, the faster the memory. 168-pin DIMMS also have a notch in the middle and install vertically. The contacts on either side of a DIMM are not connected. SO DIMMS are used in laptops and exist in 72-pin, 144-pin, and 200-pin form factors. MicroDIMMs for sub-notebooks are even smaller and come as 144-pin modules (SDRAM) and 172-pin modules (DDR). RIMMs have 184-pins, SO RIMMs have 160-pins. SDRAM is rated by speed in megahertz: PC66 (66MHz; part number ends '-15'), PC100 (100MHz; part number ends '-10'), PC133 (133MHz; part number ends '-8'). Rambus memory may be measured in MHz or Mb/sec (PC600: double the 300MHz bus, 1.2Gb/sec; PC800: double the 400MHz bus, 1.6Gb/sec). DDR SDRAMs are classified differently: PC1600; PC2100 (266MHz); PC2700 (333MHz); PC3200 (400MHz); PC3700 (466MHz); PC4000 (500MHz); PC4200 (533MHz); PC5400 (675MHz). Modules with 'ECC' or 'Parity' use techniques to check data integrity. 'Non-Parity' memory is acceptable in most typical PCs. Bus-Width is measured in bits. Bus-Speed is measured in megahertz. Double-Sided modules have chips on both sides of the module. Buffered and Non-Buffered SDRAM have their notches in slightly different places preventing incorrect use. Buffered modules have an extra driver chip on them. Connections on motherboards and on modules can be gold or tin. Memory suppliers advise matching the same metal, motherboard to memory module. Early memory modules ran on 5 volts. Later ones required 3.3 volts or 2.5 volts. Memory modules on earlier motherboards may have to be installed in multiples to fill 'banks' (typically in pairs, although sometimes four at a time). Memory should usually be installed in a specific order, bank or socket 0 first, then bank or socket 1, etc. Most motherboards will only take a certain amount of memory, and may only permit one of two possible types of memory to be inserted at any one time. Some operating systems will only recognise a certain amount of memory. Static discharge kills memory modules. When installing memory use an anti-static wrist strap or ground yourself before handling the modules, and never touch the chips or pins.

MR: Minimum requirements; SR: Suggested requirements. Note that software publishers often give differing requirements for the same piece of software.
Microsoft OSs often require Service Packs or patches. The Apple equivalent is the incremental version upgrade. Care and research is advised in the use of older OSs. Many have known bugs and security problems. Care is advised in the application of patches and service packs to working systems.
Apple Macintosh System Software. Designated by component application versions until System 5.0 when the releases were given package numbers. Some earlier versions of the Apple Macintosh OS are available as free downloads. Some of these are offered as self-mounting disk images. Self-mounting Disk Images require Mac OS 7.0.1 or later. If you are using a version of Mac OS prior to this, download the System 7.5 Network Access floppy disk and boot your Macintosh from that to use this software. Macintosh OSs often require general, language-, or machine-specific updates. Individual machine-specific updates exist for the following earlier Mac models: 4400, 52xx, 53xx, 54xx, 5500, 62xx, 63xx, 6360, 64xx, 6500, 7220, PowerMac G3, WGS 7350, WGS 9650. Apple branded hard drives should be formatted or updated with HD SC Setup 7.3.5 or later before installing a new version of the OS. (Exception: if the hard drive of the Mac Portable is formatted with any version newer than 7.3.1, it will crash instead of waking from sleep mode.) Suggested earlier versions: 4.1; 6.0.7; 7.0.1; 7.5.5; 7.6.1. [Credit: MacKiDo]

MS-DOS was based upon 86-DOS. 86-DOS was written by Tim Paterson for Seattle Computer Products in mid-1980, for their range of S-100 bus, 8086-based micros. Microsoft purchased the rights to 86-DOS in July 1981, altered it, and released it as PC-DOS 1.0 with the original IBM PC in the autumn of 1981.

Microsoft Windows 3.1. [6 FDs.] March 1992. Codenamed 'Janus'. MR (standard mode): 286; 1Mb RAM; 9Mb HD space; MR (enhanced mode): 386; 2Mb RAM; 10.5Mb RAM; SR: 386; 4Mb RAM; 15.5Mb HD space. No additional gain above 16Mb RAM. The installation procedure for Windows 3.1 is started by the Setup.exe file located on Disk 1 of the installation disk set. Win32s adds limited 32-bit functionality. To connect to the internet, a Winsock package incorporating TCP/IP networking was required. The MS version (1.1, no v.1.0 being released) was obtained as part of a package intended to supplement MS Windows for Workgroups 3.11. Alternatively a third-party version, such as Trumpet Winsock, was obtained (sometimes from the ISP).
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1. October 1992. Codenamed 'Kato'. An extension to Windows 3.1.
Microsoft Windows NT 3.1. July 1993.
Microsoft Windows 3.11. Technically an upgrade to Windows 3.1, not a separate release. Disk sets of 3.11 were available however.
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11. December 1993. Codenamed 'Snowball'. An extension to Windows 3.11. Supported 32-bit file access and the VCACHE.386 file cache. Winsock 1.1 TCP/IP connectivity software (there was no version 1.0) was included in an add-on package (codenamed 'Wolverine') intended to supplement MWfWg 3.11. This was required to connect Windows 3.1x PCs to the internet, and either the MS version or a third-party version (such as Trumpet Winsock) had to be obtained.
Microsoft Windows NT 3.5. September 1994.
Microsoft Windows NT 3.51. May 1995.
Microsoft Windows 95. [14 FDs or 1 CD.] August 1995. MR: 386DX; MR for full functionality: 486 33MHz; 8MB RAM; 60Mb HD space; VGA video; SR: 486 66MHz; 16-32Mb RAM; 200Mb HD space. Versions: 4.00.950 Original retail release; 4.00.950A Original retail release with SP1 (Service Pack 1); 4.00.950A OSR 1.0 (adds Internet Explorer 2.0); 4.00.950B OSR 2.0; 4.00.950B OSR 2.1; OSR 2.5. Microsoft discontinued all support for Windows 95 on 31 December 2001. OSR stands for 'OEM Service Release'. OSR 1.0 and OSR 2.0 do not support USB. OSR 2.1 and OSR 2.5 contain rudimentary USB functionality included whilst the specifications were still developing (primarily to support the Intel Triton 430VX and 430HX motherboards). Versions before OSR 2.0 use the VFAT (FAT16) file system; versions from OSR 2.0 can use the FAT32 file system. Choosing 'enable support for large disks' in Fdisk will choose FAT32. FAT32 cannot be read by earlier versions of Windows or MS-DOS. To install USB support in W95, install USBSUPP.exe (in the 'Other' folder), shutdown, reboot to the BIOS, enable USB in the BIOS, shutdown, reboot to safe mode, clean-up the Device Manager to avoid complications, shutdown, reboot, install USBUPD2.exe, shutdown, reboot, and then install the motherboard chipset drivers. Note that W95 does not support USB upgrade cards. When updating USBSUPP.exe, remove the old version first. Installing USB on W95 can go so wrong that you will need to reinstall Windows, so back-up everything first and check the web for detailed instructions. Note that some motherboard chipsets require specific patches for USB to work under W95. USB devices on W95 require different drivers to those they would use on W98, and very few peripherals have them. [Source: www.usbman.com]
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. July 1996; Retail release: August 1996; Service Packs: SP1 (October 1996); SP2 (December 1996); SP3 (May 1997); SP4 (October 1998); SP5 (May 1999); SP6 (November 1999); SP6a (November 1999); Post Service Pack 6a Security Rollup (July 2001). NT 4.0 had serious security flaws and eventually MS announced that adequate further patching was impossible.
Microsoft Windows 98 (Version 4.10.1998). Codenamed 'Memphis'. [1 CD.] June 1998. MR: 486DX 66MHz; 16Mb (24Mb SR); VGA; CD; Mouse. HD requirements for an upgrade (from W95): 120-295Mb (typically 195Mb); new installation with FAT16: 165-355Mb (typically 225Mb); new installation with FAT32: 140-255Mb (typically 175Mb). With certain Phoenix BIOS settings there are problems with HDDs of more than 32Gb (there is a software fix). W98 may have problems when more than 512Mb RAM is installed, although fixes exist. W98 came with IE4. Whilst Bill Gates was demonstrating W98 at Comdex in April 1998, it crashed, giving a BSOD ('blue screen of death'). Upgraded with the Security CD from Microsoft, the version changes from 4.10.1998 to 4.10.1998A.
Microsoft Windows 98SE (Version 4.10.2222). Second Edition. [1 CD.] May 1999. MR: 486DX 66MHz; 24Mb RAM; 210Mb HD space (FAT16) or 190Mb HD space (FAT32); VGA; CD/DVD; Mouse. HD requirements for an upgrade: 140-315Mb (typically 205Mb); new installation with FAT16: 210-400Mb (typically 260Mb); new installation with FAT32: 190-305Mb (typically 210Mb). W98SE is regarded as the best version of the Windows 9x series to use having USB support, FAT32, and DOS. With certain Phoenix BIOS settings there are problems with HDDs of more than 32Gb (there is a software fix). W98SE may have problems when more than 512Mb RAM is installed, although fixes exist. W98SE added support for DVD drives and came with IE5, Internet Connection Sharing and NetMeeting 3.0. Upgraded with the Security CD from Microsoft, the version changes from 4.10.2222A to 4.10.2222B.
Microsoft Windows ME. Millennium Edition. September 2000. MR: 150MHz Pentium-class CPU; 32Mb RAM; 320Mb HD space. SR: 300MHz Pentium II-class CPU; 96Mb RAM; 2Gb HD space. Access to real mode MS-DOS restricted in order to speed up system boot time. ME came with IE5.5 and Windows Media Player 7. With reduced DOS compatibility, higher system requirements and the introduction of Automatic Updates (online) at a time when many still used slower dial-up networking, ME was not popular. ME added generic USB storage device drivers.

There are few traditional cassette recorders still available. The Sony TCM-939 works fine but doesn't have a DIN socket. It comes with an external 6v mains adaptor and will work with 4 AA cells. Use only Type I (normal) cassettes with it. For a 3.5mm to 3.5mm mono cable, look for SkyTronic 109.566 (1.2m long). You'll need a 3.5mm stereo plug to 3.5mm mono socket to connect to a PC sound card if you are backing-up cassette-based programs on CDR. You'll also need to check that your CD player recognises CDR disks. Modern portable colour TVs are crap for getting a picture from a micro. SCART cables are available online for some micros. Small monochrome TVs work OK. 3" disks are still available from enthusiasts for the Spectrum+3, Tatung Einstein, and Amstrad. Maplin sell SCART switch boxes and a co-ax switched splitter to switch between computer and aerial cables.
The standard mains cable used by PCs today is known as an IEC-320 Type C13 (BS4491) or 'IEC Mains Lead'. This has a 'female' connector. The 'male' connector used in a 2-way splitter is a Type C14. The standard mains cable used by kettles is the IEC-320 Type C15 or 'IEC 'Hot' Connector'.

IC Socket A socket soldered to a circuit board that an integrated circuit may be placed into without soldering the chip itself.
IDE Integrated Drive Electronics. Hard disk drive interface standard. So-called because the hard drives (unlike their predecessors) had on-board controllers. The correct term for such drives is ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment). Variants: ATAPI (Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface; for devices other than hard disks); EIDE (enhanced); UDMA0 (16.7MB/s); UDMA1 (25MB/s); UDMA2 (33.3MB/s); UDMA3 (44.4MB/s); UDMA4 (66.7MB/s); UDMA5 ATA/100 (100MB/s); UDMA6 ATA/133 (133MB/s); SATA (serial). Originally PIO (Programmed Input/Output) which had a high processor load, drives were improved to handle DMA (Direct Memory Access), again to give UDMA (Ultra DMA), and then reconfigured for serial access (SATA; reduction from 5v to 0.5v, and to a 7-pin data cable). Drives are typically given with their 'Mode' number signifying the device's capabilities. IDE drives originally used a 40-pin cable. The Ultra DMA/66 standard required a switch to 80-pin cables, although these still fitted the old 40-pin sockets, the extra cables providing a ground wire for each signal wire to reduce interference. Two drives typically attach to any cable, one as a master and one as a slave. Drives requiring constant data rates (such as CD-RWs) needed to be configured as masters. Drives typically have 3 options, master (MA), slave (SL) and cable select (CS), the last permitting the drives to determine whether they are masters or slaves. The device on the end of the cable is the master, the device using a connector half-way down a cable is the slave. A master device can be used on its own, but a slave device cannot. Round cables (rather than ribbon cables) were introduced to improve space, airflow, and cooling within PCs. To orientate a cable's socket, the red line on the cable indicates 'pin 0'.
