I worked for Cromemco just before the\
|
||||
C10 was introduced. I ourchased one\
|
||||
and used it for a few years.\
|
||||
It had one Z80 cpu to run both the\
|
||||
video and the computer part.\
|
||||
It was shipped to run CDOS,\
|
||||
Cromemco''s version of C/PM.\
|
||||
Of course it could also run C/PM.
|
||||
|
||||
It was used as a smart standalone\
|
||||
terminal and used with the larger\
|
||||
S-100 bus machines that ran CROMIX\
|
||||
the Unix look a like by Cromemco.

It was very difficult to tell what Cromemco were trying to achieve with the C10. They'd made their name as a vendor of beautifully-engineered S-100 "crate" systems with excellent graphics boards available, and then came out with this stunted little terminal-lookalike with no graphical abilities at all - just at the point that CP/M was dying.
|
||||
|
||||
The good point was that the build quality was, by the standards of the day, superb - it was much nicer to use than (say) a Superbrain. It really seemed to be in competition with the Xerox 820, although its relatively low-profile looks probably made it a slightly easier sell into executive/professional environments than the horrible boxy 820...
|
||||
|
||||
But what it was missing was Cromemco's wonderful colour graphics....
