[comp.sys.m68k] *DTACK

mod@masscomp.ccur.com (2915) (11/06/90)

A fellow named (I believe) Hal Hardenberg used to publish a
newsletter which was originally intended for users of a Single
Board Computer that he designed and sold.  The newsletter and
the SBC were both called *DTACK (pronounced "DTACK grounded")
and that's supposedly how the board ran.  I recall the SBC
being renowned for its speed at the time (circa 1984)

Does anybody have any current info about this Mr. Hardenberg,
his business or his newsletter?  I used to know plenty of
people who subscribed to the newsletter even though they didn't
own his hardware.  The newsletter was quite interesting, full
of industry rumours that often turned out to be true, and full
of HH's own brand of entertaining and informative bluster.
