Maarten 6/29/2009 MULTITECH  MPF-1 A/B I have a MPF with a Bardehle Electronic video board. Thanks to Elco''s post I found the manual for it, but it turns out that I also need an eprom (called the VIDMON monitor according to the manual) to replace the usual MPF monitor rom. Does anyone know where I can find a dump of this rom? All of my searches have come up empty and I am very curious to see what this video board does. Thanks! Tom 6/26/2009 TANDY RADIO SHACK  MC 10 Just recently aquired one of these babys for my collection. Didn''t come with any software, but I found a site that has every program released for the system plus a few homebrew games stored as WAV files. Shame the machine failed$ if Tandy had promoted it a bit better, it might have done well. some guy 6/26/2009 HUSKY COMPUTERS LIMITED HUSKY HUNTER This was a trip down memory lane! In the early eighties I was part of the U.S. company that marketed the hunter and earlier generations to General Motors for statistical quality and process control. The firm Sarasota Automation, down in Florida, was the importer. Lee 6/24/2009 AMSTRAD  PCW 16 Hi, the interpreter is finished and available! I am uploading it in the next few days.
