SWTPCs




Do any of you deltoids remember the S-100 bus based machines made by
"Southwest Tehnical Products" (hence the SWT PC, called 'switpick')?
It was the very first computer I ever considered buying for myself
before the Apple and the IBM PC.  I wouldn't mind having one for my
"museum" of computer technology, so if you ever see one laying around
send me some mail!  It was like a mini; you bought a card cage + power
supply, then added CPU card (it was 680x) memory card, floppy
controller card, serial interface card and so-on.  One of the things
that interested me most at the time was that they had a bitmapped
graphics display card for it.

Have any of you ever owned one of these or know about them?
