F/+MITAC1
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

�..<......*.......*.......*.......*.......*.......*.......*.......*......> *********************************************************************** The MITAC 3027F Notebook Computer Tony Boarer 214 Dunraven Drive Derriford Plymouth PL6 6AZ 01752 771276 *********************************************************************** The product description is as follows:- 25MHz 80386SL microprocessor 31/2-inch, 1.44MB floppy disk drive Hard disk drive NiCad rechargeable battery pack Mains power connection through PSU 2MB of RAM expandable up to 10MB 16KB Cache memory VGA controller Power management feature to conserve in idle time Suspend/Resume feature if called away Socket for 80387SX or 80387SL numeric coprocessor Multi-layer security system The following can be added to the computer:- An internal fax/modem via a serial port A 9-pin port for a serial device such as a serial printer, mouse or modem A 25-pin port for a parallel device such as a parallel printer A 100-pin connector for an expansion box into which two 16-bit AT-bus add-on cards can be installed A 6-pin mini-DIN port for connecting an IBM PS/2 compatible mouse or keyboard A 15-pin analog port for connecting a monitor. I have put a bid for a VGA colour monitor for my birthday! The display is a flat-panel, backlit LCD with a resolution of 640 x 480 dots in 16 shades of gray. Brightness and Contrast controls give personal preference. The computer is pre-loaded with the following software:- DOS Version 5.0 DataGeneral's CEOwrite Rev. 2.10 wordprocessor WordPerfect Version 5.0 wordprocessor Harvard Graphics Version 2.3 Microsoft's GWBASIC Computer Associates' SuperCalc5 XTreePro Disk Management System So far I have only used the two word processors and SuperCalc to any extent, and a little bit of direct DOS. The volume of manuals is considerable and I am somewhat astonished at what can be achieved. I have not worked out the hard disk capacity yet, but looking at the directories I am using there is a total of 47095808 bytes free. I have used 3233432 bytes in CEOwrite and 3317679 bytes in SuperCalc; another 179202 bytes in the DOS files. At the moment I am concentrating on transferring my spreadsheet type calculations for my financial databank to SuperCalc. The SuperCalc spreadsheet capacity is vast and can support linked systems (far beyond the MITAC itself) up to 32MB. The range is rows 1 to 9999 and colums A to IU. Therefore I can get several different spreadsheets on the one document and SAVE it; and then SAVE it again as a BACKUP (i.e. C:\SC5\FILE.CALC and C:\SC5\FILE.BAK). BACKUP's cannot be saved directly; the file has to be saved first. Also I can SAVE the differing subjects within the overall document which gives me an additional backup safeguard. This little computer (i.e. in size compared with the vast spread of an Electron with added boards) is going to keep me amused for some considerable time, and so I have gone completely off the idea of a PC system. Notebook computers with speakers and CDROM drive are coming on the market now - so we will wait a little longer, I think.
