Dell Computer Ad from 1992



Bit scary this!!

The one on left was my first "Real Computer" 486P/25, purchased with some of the large redundancy package I had from Leaving BT in 1992. Along with a massive dot matrix printer.

Happy memories.

My grandpa used to love to build electronic kit stuff from Heathkit.

I don’t think that he ever built a computer (he had no interest in them) but I got curious if they ever had any. Yup.

The H89 Computer on a beach:


High Tech styling:


Inside:



Technical Stuff
Released 1979 (the year after I was released)
CPU: Zilog Z80 @ 2.0 Mgz
RAM: 16k but expandable to a rockin’ 48K
Display: 12” mono CRT, 80 X 24 text only
Storage: 102 k built in cassette
OS” ‘monitor’, HDOS (Heath Disk Operating System)

All for a mere $1595.00 - approx the same price as 3 cruncher quads today. :P
