The Sol was a relatively popular S-100 based computer made for several years - the first really good Trek game I ever saw ran on one. Processor Technology was located in Emeryville at first, experienced tremendous growth, moved to enormous quarters in Pleasanton and then quickly went bust. Too bad, too; the Sol was neat 'coz it was essentially what people wanted in an Imsai 8080 but sized to fit on a desk. > P.S. By the way, what is a "Tandy Model 16"?

Yeah, these were 16 bit Radio Shack computers, based on the 68000 chip, and they ran Xenix and some mutation of TRS-DOS, as I recall, circa 1983. What a trip down sentimental lane. Afterall, I learned assmebly language on an 1802 Elf computer.... -- * Dana H.

Not really a follow up article, but another question of the same class. I just purchased a computer at an auction - couldn't pass it up - a nice S-100 box with two boards, one a "pickles and trout" looks like a video board ??? And the other (the one I am hoping someone may have info on, or even a BOOT DISK!!!! ??) is a Intercontinental Micro Systems Corp. single board computer. This little rascal has a Z80A, 9519 interrupt ctlr, 1793 FDC, Z80A SIO/0, 64K of ram, DMA chip and more!! Wow! this looks like one of the neatest little Z80 CP/M boards I have yet to see. However, I have no manuals or software -- can anyone help? -- Tom Trebisky ttrebisky@as.arizona.edu (Internet) Steward Observatory University of Arizona Tucson, Arizona
