 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 ...

 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...

 KONTRON PSI 80
This computer was also known as the Kienzle CC-9010, sold by Kienzle Computer GmBh. (Germany).
The PSI-80 can be used in a multi-user (up to 16 terminals) configuration through Kobus, a coaxial network developped by Kontron.
Several models were launched (with 32kb, 64kb or 128kb RAM). Microsoft BASIC is given with the 64kb and 128kb models. This BASIC interprets the statements as they're typed, so lines with syntax errors couldn't be entered.
The upper 64kb (on the 128kb model) are used ...

 MBO Tele-Ball IV
MBO, a popular German electronics manufacturer, produced a large serie of pong systems named "tele-ball" with numbers ranging from 1 to 9 (or more ?). Though they had some cosmetic differences, all these systems were very close to each other in terms of functionality.
The Tele-Ball IV is very similar to the Tele-Ball "I", though its display is in colour. This is the major difference. The plastic case is the same. Only vertical sliders on the controllers and a tiny red "service" ...

buttons on the unit. Only could be played on a Color TV only. This system
seems to have been the pack-in unit with Imagination Machine.
The APF MP1000 was released in 1978. This system is basically the same

 POLYMORPHIC System 8813
The Polymorphic System 8813 was the larger brother of the Poly 88.
William Davis reports :
This unit could connected to an add-on unit (MS 88) that consisted of two 8" Shugart DSDD disk drives. Near the end Polymorphic System also featured a 10 MB hard disk and a unit called the "Twin Systems" which allowed two simultaneous users on a shared bus.
I had all the above, buying the first of three 8813 in 1978 and continuing to use ...

 VISUAL TECHNOLOGY Visual 1083 / Commuter
Visual was the 5th largest manufacturer of office graphics terminals. They once thought they could design a nice IBM PC clone (which they did) and sell it with their terminals (which they didn't). It turned out that Visual's salesmen weren't equipped to sell computers and Visual had put too much money into these computers (the built-in color graphics, a terminal mode, 2 disk drives, etc.) to sell them at stripped down prices. So Visual sold them all to DAK (a popular US electronic reseller) and ...

 SEGA Saturn
After spending two years developing the successor to the Mega Drive/Genesis, Sega launched the Saturn in November 1994.
The console had two CPUs, two GPUs, and a number of other processors which made it difficult to program for and the quality of the software programming varied considerably. A number of games used only one CPU in order to simplify the task, others made full use of the Saturns power. For example, Virtua Fighter 2 used a different CPU for e...

AM INTERNATIONAL JACQUARD SYSTEMS J100 - J500
I worked for AM Jacquard beginning in 1980 until it was sold to various buyers. Later, I, John Johnston and Karl Hedger found Nor-Cal Data Systems. We would eventually take over Jacquard and Amtext Word processing support and repair throughout Northern California and Nevada. To my knowledge Nor-Cal Data Systems would be one the few companies that sold the follow up Step II product from the Peerless Group. We eventually closed the company in 1990. I have seen many changes over the years. However, I seen very little that has impressed me as much as the Jacquard mini-computers in their prime. Even now, I''m still impressed.

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.
