Hi, everyone! I was reading thru here and i noticed a few things on LD debate... so i thought i would join so i could respond to some of the ding-dongs in this place! lol....

I have just discovered your Forum and have requested presents in your audience. I hope to be able to help and make friends. I have been working in electronics since filament tubes were around. I bought and built the Imsi 8080 kit when it first came out ( and it worked the first time it was fired up). I also worked for Digital Equipment Corp. for 20 years. I hope to be able to contribute. I consider my self a time mechanic, hence the name Zathras. Which was taken from the TV show "Babalon 5".

One of the first PCs I tinkered around with on a regular basis was a Digital Rainbow. I had access to one with a "massive" 10 Meg Winchester disk, but the one I regularly used had no hard drive.

Welcome.

I feel like I have to apologize to you for that machine. Wasn't CP/m great. It's too bad they did not have the foresight to make the Vax hardware and VMS OS cheap. It still runs better than anything from Apple or Bill. But they were great years for me. By the way do you need a hard drive for the Rainbow I believe that used and RD52 and I might have one.

No apologies necessary. Hell, it got me through college. I remember loading CP/M 86-80 for one program, then having to load MS-DOS for another program. I thought it was wonderful at the time. Certainly better than a typewriter.

Thanks anyway, but the Rainbow found its way to a trash heap a long time ago. :wink:
