 ECD CORPORATION Micromind
The Micromind was a very innovative machine ahead of its time ! But despite the small group working on the machine, prototyping and developing, and pushing the limits of the time, the machine never shipped. Apparently only a few prototypes were produced.
Development began as early 1975/1976 but commercial adverts appeared only in 1977.
One of the main features of the Micromind was its innovative (for the time) redefinable characters. Up to 120 characters could be software redefined by the ...

 LOGICAL MACHINE CORPORATION (LOMAC) Tina
The Adam was the first computer released by Logical Machine Corporation (LOMAC) in 1976. In 1978 they produced Tina which stands for "TINy Adam". It seems to have the same specs as David but with two 8'' floppy disk drives. There was also the Goliath, a data storage server with 5MB hard drive.

 GESPAC Gescomp 720 / 730
GESPAC SA was a Swiss company who designed the G-64/96 Bus in 1979.
This interface bus concept provides a simple way to interface microprocessor modules with memory and peripheral modules on a parallel bus. The G-64/96 Bus uses a simple, yet modern and powerful interface scheme which allows a higher level of functionality from the single height Eurocard form factor. The low overhead of the G-64/96 Bus interface greatly eases the design of custom boards by the User. This is why, even many year...

 WELECT W86
The W86 is a french computer released in 1983 by Welect. It's the second computer released by Welect after the W80.2.
The W86 is powered by an Intel 8086 (hence its name) to catch up with the IBM PC compatible trend of the moment and is thus able to run MS-DOS. But the W86 is also equipped with a Z80A to also be CP/M 86 compatible. It's thus an hybrid machine typical of the mid-80s when the professional industry was moving from CP/M to MS-DOS.
There are 128...

 NINTENDO Super Nintendo Entertainment System 2
In an attempt to prolong the Super Nintendo's life, Nintendo of America launched the SNES 2 in 1997, similar to what had previously been done with the NES 2.
The SNES 2 was only available in the States and Japan, but was never released in Europe. It was smaller and lighter than the original version, lacking the expansion and RF ports of the old model, although the internal hardware remained exactly the same. The decision to ship the SNES 2 with Super Ma...

 I.S.T.C. (INFORMATIC SYSTÈMES TÉLÉCOM) 5000
Little is known about this system. Help welcomed !
I.S.T.C. (Informatic Systèmes TéléCom) was a french company which was selling imported computers from USA, like the Apple II or the Compucolor. So it wouldn't be surprising if the ISTC 5000 was also an imported system. But which one ? We have not found the answer yet...
It is a big system with a built-in 10'' amber display (80 x 25 characters) and one or two integrated 5.25''...

 SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM 128
The Spectrum 128 (code named Derby) is the successor of the Spectrum +. It was made just before Amstrad bought the right to use the Sinclair name in computer products. So it can be regarded as the last "real Sinclair Spectrum".
The 128 is the first real evolution of the old Spectrum. It has a lot of new features: 128kb RAM, a new sound chip (Yamaha AY-3-8912), RS232/Midi and video RGB outputs.
The Spectrum displays a menu wh...

 SBS SBS 8000
The SBS 8000 is an early japanese system. The most remarkable feature of the SBS 8000 is its originaly shaped case. It looks like the keyboard had been placed in an area cut with a knife.
There are in fact two models of the SBS 8000. The basic model has only 16k or 32k RAM and a Basic language built-in (Super-Basic). The 12" monochrome monitor sold with it, could display 16 x 64 characters.
The Super Basic was 100% compatible with the one in the TRS-80 (only higher resolution with t...

 NATIONAL RADIO INSTITUTE 832
The National Radio Institute 832 was probably the first commercially available computer kit. It was sold as part of a correspondence computer course.
We don't know much about this machine, but Jason Anderson, the proud owner of the pictured machine sent us a letter from Lou Frenzel, the designer of the NRI-832:
I did design the 832 back in 1970-71 time period.
It was part of a home study course on computers offered by National Radio Institute, a school ...

 COMPUTER DEVICES INCORPORATED DOT
The DOT was a portable IBM PC compatible computer. It was the last portable computer developed by Computer Devices Incorporated (CDI) back in 1981-1983. It followed the example of the Osborne systems, its main competitors. But while most other transportable systems were powered by 8-bit microprocessors, the DOT used a "powerful" 16-bit Intel 8088.
It has a wide built-in 5 x 9" green monochrome display which can display up to 1056 x 254 pixels or 132 x 25 characters. There are 256 characters ...

 MATSUSHITA National JR 100
The National (also known as Panasonic or Matsushita in other countries) JR series was pretty popular in Japan. Small quantities were sold outside Japan, in New Zeland among other countries.
Little is known about the first system of the range (please help!). It was obviously an initiation machine with black & white display and rubber keyboard.
The JR 100 was followed by the JR 200.
Thanks to Murray Moffatt from New Zeland for most of the informatio...

 RAIR MICROCOMPUTER Black Box
RAIR was a very early UK manufacturer of 8085-based systems and eventually licensed its designs to ICL.

The following languages were available : Basic, Cobol, Fortran, Pascal, PL/1.
More information about Black Box internal hardware in the ICL Personal computer page.

 FUJITSU FM 7
Fujitsu was (and still is) japan's leading electronics company. This computer was the succesor of the FM-8 itself first member of the Fujitsu FM (for "Fujitsu Micro") range of computers, extending from hobbyist home computers up to 16-bit machines for the business market.

NCR PC4
This computer was my favorite garage sale find of 1995. It even came with it''s own version of DOS, NCR-DOS, and some Peachtree productivity software. But my primary use for this machine was vintage PC gaming. This worked especially well after I installed a used hard card into an available expansion slot. Unfortunately Hurricane Rita tore the roof off the garage where it was stored a decade later, and this machine did not survive being flooded.

OHIO SCIENTIFIC Superboard II
I recently acquired an OSI C1P on which, alas, the stabilizer for the space bar is missing. If someone would send me a photo showing details of the stabilizer, I''m hopeful I could replicate a stabilizer using a piece of piano wire. Thanks in advance
