Default Re: The Transam Triton Personal Computer

Interesting looking at electronic parts catalogue from that time (Watford Electronics and Cricklewood Electronics ) can not find any 8v transformers.

Watford Electronics is no more but Cricklewood Electronics is still in the same place doing mainly CCTV.

Takes me back looking at these old catalogues, Watford Electronics was suppling kits at that time one was the Superboard II computer based on the 6502 cpu with 4k ram 2k rom monitor and 8k basic for £149 , they were also doing a EPROM programer and MPU development system (SOFTY) in kit form for £100.

Superboard II looks quite good for it time and a Softy might be handy but had no experience of them.

Maybe another project here.
