Thanks for the video. Yes, I remember the
era. I was a young teenager building my ELF and was impressed with
the black and white graphics in the ELF Project part IV but amazed with
the capability of the dazzler (of course, I could never afford one back
then). I am interested in getting one of these Dazzler boards for
my collection because Popular Electronics had a nice write up article
about it. Did you see that article? I think I scanned it, should be
available on Rich Cini's web page. These boards don't come up for
sale very often, but if you are ever inclined to sell yours... I'll tell
you that my collection is based on the computers featured in Popular and
Radio Electronics.
Just
for the heck of it I spent some time setting up a system that allowed me
to run the famous Cromemco Dazzler
board.For those that may not have
been around at the time, this was the first S-100 bus video
board.While its video resolution by
today’s standards is primitive, at the time it caused a sensation and was
responsible for many of us getting into “home computer systems”.
To
bring back memories I have a short video demo here:-
