The BASF 7000 systems are professional computers from Germany.
|
||
|
||
There were several models in the 7000 serie. The model shown is a BASF 7120.
|
||
|
||
The computer was based on a DigiLog (USA) Personal Computer (Microterm II Intelligent Terminal), which had an additional printer built in (the paper came out on the top), but was to faulty to be sold (power supply, monitor control, mechanical construction and more.).
|
||
|
||
The operating system was an "Enhanced commercial BASIC" interpreter and/or an Assembler. .Later on, a CP/M version was released.
|
||
|
||
The CPU frequency was 4.000 MHz and the memory was 64 kByte + FDC.
|
||
|
||
The production ended 1987, after a press release of the "SPIEGEL" magazine and legal trials claimed that due to the lack of a Parity Bit in the Memory, the computer was too unsafe for serious applications.
|
||
|
||
It had 2 CPUs (Z80A) which were able to operate independently and some programs used it for parallel processing(!). One of them was part of the FDC (Floppy Disk Control), the upper of the three PCBs which were found inside.
|
||
|
||
It had a Centronics parallel port and a V.24 / RS232 port at the back.
|
||
|
||
The rocker switches on the right side of the keyboard were used to preset programs (rarely used), as well as the switch banks (DIL-Switches) on the rear side of the computer.
