MessageBy the way, your information is wrong about the origin of the Einstein. It was BUILT in Telford, but it was DESIGNED in Bradford, at Tatung's R&D facility (a converted school) by (if I remember correctly) Dr. Roger Clark(e) - who was a Sharp MZ80 fan, which is why the keyboard graphics character layout etc. is so "Sharp-oid".

MessageI was Sales support for the North East and later inc. Scotland in the first sales team recruited by Tatung/Decca to sell the Einstein. At the outset there were 6 teams of 1 salesman and 1 support. Later this was reduced to 6 +3, and later again 4 + 1. At that point I was made redundant.

I wrote the first serious demo for the Earls Court Exhibition (the diver - a multi-machine/multi screen communication/Sprite/colour demo) using 9 screens/Einsteins if I remembewr correctly.

Your software list is missing all the commercial software developed by New-Miracle Software of Harrogate. There was at least a Hotel administration system and a Pharmacy labelling system. You also missed out the Scriptomatic labelling system. This was an OEM release of the Einstein with addressing/labelling software bundled. It was the first excursion away from the spirit-duplication label maker developed by Scritomatic.

Did you know that Tatung (actually Brian Morgan and myself) almost closed a deal with the Open University for Einstein to become their teching machine ??

Thanks for the memories.

MessageYour website is very interesting. What about scan Einstein magazines? I own TC01 and 256 without monitor (i use a Amstrad monitor with hand made psu and adapter)

MessageGreat site!
I couldn't resist a look even though my interest in Einstein waned some time ago.
I'm sure there's a speculator somewhere amongst my "junk".
I'll be in touch.

MessageNice site. I've only just bought a couple of einsteins, having first seen them as a teenager. I'm looking forward to learning to using these interesting machines. All the best with the collection.

MessageNice to see someone else with a soft spot for the Einy. i have not had the time to play with my TC01 for a while but I will get up in the loft and look at what software I have. I do not want to part with any of it but you are welcome to copies. I know I have FORTH and Pascal programming discs and the Office suite with wordprocessor, calculator and pread sheet and a music program I cannot remember the games offhand. Did you know, by the way that if you connect the second drive of a TC01 to a 3.5 inch floppy disk drive it will happilly format one side of the disk and read and write to it. As you say there are not many 3 inch disks left but for the time being you can still buy 3.5 inch ones.
