text: Just got myself one of these however, it seems like the 804 prototype looks somewhat similar to Olivertti Prodest, with the way they mounted the floppy drive :)

The funny thing is - they didn''t create a special encasing, but just utilised one from the electronic organ: Elwirka\

First, Elwro 804 was not similar to C128 at all, it was more similar to Didaktik Kompakt or Commodore 65/64DX (outside only).
|
||||
|
||||
Now about 800. After sending to school, there were many problems with these computers. Some units were damaged, some even not assembled!. You opened a box, and - Voila! Case, mainboard, power supply and screws, separately. Do it yourself :D.\
|
||||
Someone from Elwro finally explained how manufacturing tests of mainboard look like: They put a program in and leave it running for a night. If it hanged, let''s try one more time :).\
|
||||
But the biggest pain in @ss was a floppy drive. They used poor quality hungarian drives, which were destroying system disks! Finally Elwro decided to replace every floppy drive with Teac or Robotron device.\
|
||||
These hungarian drives not only destroyed system disks, but ruined network drivers. Drivers were loaded wrong way, giving unexpected results. My IT teacher remembers a situation, in which grabbing a screen from student''s computer resulted in hanging student''s Junior \~1 minute after teacher''s look, and after two minutes, causing network fatal error on teacher''s unit, freezing OS and entire network. The only way out: Reset everything in network.
|
||||
|
||||
The PC described by Maciek is probably Mazovia or Elwro 801/AT.\
|
||||
One more thing: When Elwro used all floppy drive cases from warehouse, they started to put these in Elwro 801/AT case, more than two times bigger than drives and their PSU.

If someone needs a translation from polish, I can do it in the next weekend (right now I suffer from a lack of time).

I used to play with theese Elwro 800 when i was in high school about 15 years ago. It really worked and CP/M and the network (DIN-5 cables in a daisy-chain) worked marvelous. Comparing to the PC/XT that i had, it worked really nice and the games stored on 5.25'' floppies loaded in a few seconds contrary to the old ZX Spectrum tapes.\
|
||||
My informatics teacher MR. Stefan Sroka was a great fan of theese computers, especially LOGO which was his favorite programming language.
