In the details of the NewBrain it says that the machine has\
|
||||
a "calculatortype" keyboard. That is nonsense !!!!\
|
||||
Measure the keydistances !! They are the same as the "big"\
|
||||
keyboards sold today !!\
|
||||
Only the surface of the keys were a bit smaller.\
|
||||
A BIG advantage !!! You would not hit 2, 3, or 4 keys at the\
|
||||
same time !! I have never seen such a beautyfull and perfect\
|
||||
working keyboard !!

I still have LOADS of New Brain gear. It was a truely fantastic system. I have the Serial I/O V24 adapter - as far as I know never actually put into production! 8 V24 ports, parallel printer and parallel I/O. Another very special item is the Expansion Interface Module that included multiple parallel ports as well as analogue I/O and a very crude sound device port. I modified New Brains to use 3.5" fdd''s and added the missing ports to the EIM that were never installed in production. A Paris-based micro club added hi-res colour graphics and a standard bus-based expansion system.
|
||||
|
||||
A great system!

All, I've been fascinated by this machine, so, basing on the informations found on the dutch user group I've extended the Z88DK compiler to support it.\
|
||||
If you are willing to port small C programs to the Grundy Newbrain, give it a try: http://www.z88dk.org

text: I work with a newbrain computer (model AD) to command a stepper (micromanipulator). I have a mechanical problem with the stepper. No manufacturer name is written on the stepper. The only thing written is "west Germany". Does anybody know who should I contact regarding my stepper problem? Does Grundy, the company behind newbrain still exist?

I've got one. Some guys gave it to me without understanding what exactly it is. Unfortunately i have no any documentation about it. The set contains the pc, 3 or 4 connecting cables, transformator. It seems that works.\
|
||||
If someone has some (electronic) documentation or instructions and feels to be a very kind person, please, send me something.\
|
||||
Thanks!
