![]() ![]() SMOKE SIGNAL CHIEFTAIN COMPUTERS The Chieftain 9822 It's thus an hybrid machine typical of the mid-80s when the professional industry was moving from CP/M to MS-DOS. But the W86 is also equipped with a Z80A to also be CP/M 86 compatible. The W86 is powered by an Intel 8086 (hence its name) to catch up with the IBM PC compatible trend of the moment and is thus able to run MS-DOS. It's the second computer released by Welect after the W80.2. The W86 is a french computer released in 1983 by Welect. The low overhead of the G-64/96 Bus interface greatly eases the design of custom boards by the User. The G-64/96 Bus uses a simple, yet modern and powerful interface scheme which allows a higher level of functionality from the single height Eurocard form factor. This interface bus concept provides a simple way to interface microprocessor modules with memory and peripheral modules on a parallel bus. GESPAC SA was a Swiss company who designed the G-64/96 Bus in 1979. The David is powered by a 16-bit Intel 8086 CPU w. David and Goliath names makes a clear reference to the mythical story found in the biblical Book of Samuel. Goliath could be connected to up to 20 Davids or Tinas. There was also the Goliath, a data storage server with 5MB hard drive. Some times later they also produced Tina (for TINy Adam). In 1974, LOMAC (Logical Machine Corporation) released the Adam. The David is not the first computer released by Logical Business Machines. LOGICAL MACHINE CORPORATION (LOMAC) David The L-XT uses a 16-bit Intel 8088 CPU with 192KB RAM, and equipped with a 5.25'' floppy drive unit (320 KB capacity) and a 10 MB hard disk (upgradable to 60 MB). It was announced at the 1983 COMDEX Fall in Las Vegas, and commercially available in March 1984. The L-XT was the last computer released by Logical Business Machines, after the Adam, the David, the Tina and the Goliath in 1982. David and Goliath names makes a clear reference to the mythical story found in the biblical Book of S. It seems to have the same specs as David but with two 8'' floppy disk drives. In 1978 they produced Tina which stands for "TINy Adam". The Adam was the first computer released by Logical Machine Corporation (LOMAC) in 1976. David and Goliath names makes a clear reference to the mythic. In 1983 Logical released the David, and the L-XT in 1983. In 1978 they also produced Tina which stands for "TINy Adam". The Adam was the first computer released by Logical Machine Corporation (LOMAC) in 1975. Up to 20 Tina or David computers can link to Goliath as a distributed data processing system. The unit, which also houses the controller, may have memory ranging from 64K to 256K and capacity for up to 20 terminals. ![]() It has a capacity for 10 MByte, 30 MByte or 50 MByte of fixed disk storage and 10 MBytes of removable storage. Logical’s Goliath is a server or disk file storage device has it was described at the time. LOGICAL MACHINE CORPORATION (LOMAC) Goliath The processor is faster than the one used in the IBM PC, a. The STM PC is based on an Intel 80186 processor and two quadruple-density disk drives. This computer incorporates a lot of features in a compact case, which was quite innovative at the time: built-in LCD display, printer, modem, phone and disk drives ! This extremely rare computer is Portable PC (IBM compatible) conceived in the same plastic case as the Pied Piper, released by the same company in 1983. Up to 120 characters could be software redefined by the. One of the main features of the Micromind was its innovative (for the time) redefinable characters. Apparently only a few prototypes were produced.ĭevelopment began as early 1975/1976 but commercial adverts appeared only in 1977. The Micromind was a very innovative machine ahead of its time ! But despite the small group working on the machine, prototyping and developing, and pushing the limits of the time, the machine never shipped. There are actually 1286 systems in the museum.
