Hi, folks! It's been interesting and enlightening reading all about the
H-11 etc.
I joined this list a few weeks ago after buying an ET-3400 Microcomputer
Training System on eBay. I borrowed one from about 1979 (when I was in
fourth grade) through 1982, and it was my first real programming
experience. I decided to get one again in a fit of nostalgia.
I figure making it do something practical is probably pointless, but I
do want to get some kind of demo program running on it, just to show it
off. But of course, one of the big limitations of the thing was that it
had no persistent storage, unless you got the ETA-3400 expansion unit
and hooked it up to a cassette player, in which case you got only
slightly persistent storage. ;)
So, my fun project is to add some EEPROM to it, just so I can load and
run some demos. It seems pretty simple; I'm just waiting to add the
EEPROM into a big parts order in a couple weeks.
My question is: Is there any interest in the ET-3400 on this list? If
so, great. I just don't want to bore the folks who are into its
obviously superior big brother. :)
Cheers.
