Also very little information about the Hektor III. The case and keyboard were the same as the Hektor II but the electronic board was completely redrawn to support up to 64 KB of RAM and ROM.
|
|
|
|
Several I/O connectors allowed to connect an extension card, a light pen, a 1200/75 baud modem, a parallel printer and even a mouse.
|
|
|
|
The Hektor III was also loaned to the students for the duration of the Open University course, hence its rarity.

Thanks to **Ian Hall** for all the pictures.
