Passing on a nice Tatung Einstein.
Price reflects scarcity of the bundle on offer. 2 drive version, with an 80 col card and also with the wonderful EinSDein SD card interface, which boots into Tatung's version of CP/M, xtaldos, or a disk of your choice mounted as disk 3 and 4, load and execute .com files inc games, languages, BBCBasic etc. *I've been asked to make it clear the downloaded files/ games etc shown are illustrative and naturally not part of the official sale. I'll expect to send the card "as is" unless you ask me to format it as empty*. From there you can dir, or LS the SD card and directories, mount disks, load and run .com files and games like Manic Miner, JSW etc etc. 2 floppy drives. Has an EinSDein boot rom on board. You will not find a bundle inc EinSDein too easily..if ever.. so if you're interested I suggest you move quickly on this. SD card full of freeware stuff (see image). I had it checked out 18 months ago by a retro computer repair expert, I'd wanted to know why sometimes it didn't always boot cleanly. It was fine for him. For me <sometimes> it takes two or so tries to start... but then it'll happily run a basic program or a game for hours. I <suspect> the pipe connector used for the EinSDein needs a clean, or it's the 80 col cards' own pipe connector needs cleaning when daisy-chained up, but it's not concerned me too much (for a 40 year old computer!) so it is sold "as is". To be clear around this point, the 80 col card is therefore given FREE to the buyer. Inc 10 x 3" floppy disks of various providence i.e. I haven't tried to see if they work as I use the EinSDein! Modded so you can use a standard BBC RGB scart cable. Can be collected from near High Wycombe or will be sent by signed-for UPS courier so we know it'll arrive. Its expected to be £15 UPS to UK mainland as it's big, and heavy - it's a beast! Any questions please ask. |
