If anyone knows anything about the HT68K TinyGiant single board
computer from Hawthorne Technology (Portland, OR) I would greatly
appreciate hearing your opinion. I am on the verge of buying it,
and I would like to know about bugs/problems with the board or
the software they give you with it. It seems like a really good
deal to me. A brief summary for those who may be interested:
Hardware:
8 MHz 68000
128K of 64x4 RAM, expand to 512 on board (already socketed)
2 serial (one is used as a console port for a terminal)
1 parallel
WD1770 controller for up to 4 5.25" or 3.5" drives
Expansion bus
Same size and power requirement as a 5.25" drive
Software:
K-OS One: 1-user 1-task OS that reads/writes MSDOS disks
68000 assembler
line editor
HTPL compiler (high-level RPN-based language)
HTPL source code for operating system and command processor,
runtime library, and BIOS/monitor PROMS.
Cost: $395 Hawthorne Technology, 8836 S.E. Stark, Portland, OR
I am connected in no way with this company, I just thought people
in this group would be interested. Again, if you know anything,
good or bad, about it, please write. Thanks in advance.
