Introduction
Hello, My name is Ken W and I joined the forum to get help when I need it, offer help if I can, and for the tutorials. I bought my first computer in 1980, a Vector Graphic modified S-100 Bus with 32 kb of RAM and two 360kb floppy disks. Soon after I got it I had to upgrade the RAM to 64kb.
That meant buying an S-100 bus memory card with 32K on it for about $450 and grounding yourself so as not to lose your $450. Next, you cut the trace to the bus of the first board and then added one between the two boards so the firmware would see 64kb. It came with ExecuPlan and Memorite software. It ran CPM, and sometimes I miss the C: prompt. Later I moved to Novel and MS-DOS workstations on a daisy-chained thin ethernet backbone. The era was called, "the bleeding edge."
