The Tiki-100 was a Norwegian educational, professional, homecomputer system that was quite popular in schools.
|
||
|
||
Acutally they first used the name Kontiki-data, and named the first few models **Kontiki-100**, but had to change the name to Tiki after the Thor Heyerdahl Society, wich owned the rights to the Kontiki name, threatened with a lawsuit.
|
||
|
||
Five models were available, featuring one or two 80 KB, 200 KB or 800 KB 5'' floppy disc drives. An optional 20MB Winchester harddrive was also available.
|
||
|
||
The Tiki-100 could read various disk formats, like Scandis, [IBM-PC](/museum/ibm-pc-model-5150/), [Osborne](/museum/osborne-corp-osborne-1/), and [ABC-800](/museum/luxor-abc-800-series/). The 80 KB format was the same as used in some [Xerox-systems](/museum/xerox-820/).
|
||
|
||
The operating-system was called **TIKO**, and was compatible with CP/M 2.2. It was first called **KP/M**, but was renamed at the same time as the computer changed the name from Kontiki-100 to Tiki-100.
|
||
|
||
One could also install an optional Intel-8088 processor-board, adding an extra 256 KB ram to the main 64 KB. A 16-bit operating system called **TIKOS** was used together with the i8088 board, and managed both the i8088 and Z80 at the same time. TIKOS was developed from CP/M-86, and was compatible with it. MS-DOS 2.11 was also available.
|
||
|
||
The Tiki-100 had 3 (maybe more?) graphics modes, but no text-mode as it used bitmapped graphics only.\
|
||
A separate network hub was available that allowed up to 8 (not sure) computers to be connected in a star topology. One of the standard Tiki's serial ports was used for the network, in high speed mode. The server was a Tiki-100 that ran MP/M.
|
||
|
||
Several programs were developed for the Tiki-100. Most common were: **BRUM** (a simple wordprocessor), **Tiki-Kalk** (Spreadsheet), **Tiki-BAS** (Database),**WordStar** and **SuperCalc** and a little snake-type game called **Pyton**.
|
||
|
||
A simple terminal program was also imbedded in the OS, and made it possible to connect to a BBS through a 300 or 1200 bps modem. A serial terminal could be used to acces the Tiki-100 via one of the serial ports.
|
||
|
||
Program languages like: C, Fortran, Cobol, BASIC, Pascal was also available.
