Administrator Lite Posted April 1, 2009 Administrator Share Posted April 1, 2009 Shamelessly stolen from a certain Hardware website :win: IBM PC Bus, ISA, EISA, math co-processor, floppy disk. So many forgotten terms, from years ago.What was your first computer?Do you remember what specs it had? What kind of motherboard did it come with? How big was the hard drive? Did it even have a hard drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3NIGM4 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 My first computer was a Tandy 1000 HX bought with my own money+Christmas gift boost. The thing is still running and until recently my sisters were still playing on the beast. It had no hard drive and i had to play toaster with my Spaces Quests 6 floppy disk when i change level. I wrote with some geek neighbors a game on that stuff. Good times.Wiki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyblair Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Let's travel back in late 1974: The 6800 is an 8-bit microprocessor produced by Motorola and released shortly after the Intel 8080Several first-generation microcomputers of the 1970s, available by mail order as kits or in assembled form, used the 6800 as their CPU; examples are the MEK6800D2 development boardThe MEK6800D2 was a development board for the Motorola 6800 microprocessor, produced by Motorola in 1976. It featured a keyboard with hexadecimal keys and a LED display, but also featured an RS-232 asynchronous serial interface for a Teletype or other terminal. There was an on-board debug program called JBUG fitted in a 1k ROM, and the maximum RAM capacity on board was 512 bytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
