These courses of course will have to wait. These records were those old thin floppy mylar sheets (i have to find a turn table and convert them to MP3's). Not only are all the courses in almost mint shape, the even come with the original records (yes, I said records) for the audio lectures. As you know the worst thing about getting "hand me down" kits like this, is all the parts were ussually lost years ago. The nice thing is that all these kits Look about 98% complete, and even have the part bins labelled for each Course. HeathKit ET3200 Digital Design ExperimenterĪnd about 6 related HeatKit courses centered around those 2 kits HeathKit ET3100 Electronic Design Experimenter I had show the NCS 2065T kit and he was cleaning out his storage area, and knew I was getting into Electronics so, in the box was the following: Today, one of them gave me a big box of knowledge! Saturdays some of the AMICUE guys meet for coffee. Too make a long story -short, because I due have a tendency to ramble.
#SIM CITY EMULATOR MAC IICX PC#
This is kind of cool, and sets them apart from other PC clones. The function keys are running up and down the side, instead of across the top. The only other thing worth mentioning is the keyboard. Just an RS232 "c" port and a "Centronics" or printer port.-It's actually labelled "Centronics". The unit just has 640k, I guess they originally came with 320K. The POST screen shows Commodore PC bios 2.01. It was stated before that Commodore continued the PET boot up sound to the PC. K.A.P Consumer Electronics for those that are interested. The monitor looks to be a 10 inch Commodore mono monitor, but even though it does say Commodore on the front, the back has no Commodore labels or model number.It's not that they have fallen off, it's just the original manufacturer's stickers are there instead. I am not sure why Dos 3.2 was not here, but the start disks state Commodore PC-10 boot disks (hand written copies- of course). The System disks are labelled DOS 2.11, and indeed the boot screen showed Dos 2.11. I put it all back together and booted it up.

The motherboard itself is relitively small compared to most other Commodore Boards (about the size of a normal MoBO today). This is simply labelled "Commodore Ram Extension 1986". This card has no markings, so I can't tell you if it is the Commodore Original or an aftermarket. It has 2 cards, 1 in the AT slots for Video.
When I can borrow a better camera, I will be documenting this machine more on the web site. There is no 287 Co-processor in this unit, but a socket for one.Īll the pictures on Google show a battery on the motherboard, but this revision has none. The motherboard is a revison "A", dated 1985. In Typical Commodore fashion, there is no hard drive, or even a hard drive controller on the motherboard. There was only a trace amount of dust on the back of the cards. The first thing I did (even before turning it on) is take the cover off to see the inside. So, Very surprisingly (shipping only took 3 days) I got my CPC-10 in today. It also comes with 3 Eproms for the ROM, 1 blank, so you can burn your own, one already burned with basic, and 1 for the LCD display. I will be posting a complete thread, but here are some (crappy) photos from my camera.
#SIM CITY EMULATOR MAC IICX MANUAL#
The techical manual if filled, not only with all the information on the 6502, but a nice chunk of Commodore history (including the Amiga) and the history of MOS Tec up until 2004, and of course the Western Design Center. Each is not just a photocopied sheet, but a nicely printed and bound manual. It comes with everything you need for a "Basic" computer, a 65C02 CPU Mhz, 8K ROM, 32 K RAM, PS/2 keyboard interface and LCD screen.Īt first, I was a bit leary of ordering this kit, At $180, it seemed a bit pricey for a kit. For those that do not know, the NCS kit is a complete 6502 Computer kit that is assembled from scratch, loosely based on Commodore Computers. Brace yourselves, this will be a bit long.
