My software company, Ecosoft, did a deal with Adam Osborne where he bought the rights to distribute my statistics package (Microstat) with his computers. I wonder if yours is one that has the software?

Boy we're going back a ways.... My first computer was an Osborne 1 (blue case) Came with all the software one would want. I bought JRT Pascal for it too... I upgraded to double density and a video interface... Got rid of the amber (Heathkit ) video display. Still bha ve it and all the software.? It needs some TLC. The drives need calibration. I was planning to gut the case and convert to a RF science computer... w/ USB SDR receivers for HF, another receiver for LF, Rasbi Pi SBC, HD's, LCD display, an alt/az controller to run a universal tripod mount to be used for visual astronomy, radio astronomy, satellite comms (AMSAT) (solar and Jupiter studies.) etc etc..? A Natural Radio platform.? If I start the process I'll have the CPU bd available to give away. Also had a AIM65 SBC that I got when going to the class for the Rockwell 6502. . That (sadly) went to the trash one day... another retireeee with way too many hobbies and interests... Phil, KD2HTN |
