Picked up another Technico 9900

[falter]

I won a Technico board a while back for cheap, but it was just the board, no ICs or anything. This one came up a few days ago with a $240 BIN, which I thought was reasonable given it came with the expander board, some documentation etc.. much more than what I had before. I think the expansion board could burn EPROMs or something?

Anyway this one seems to have all or most of the relevant parts including CPU. Should be a lot easier to get running. I was dreading trying to have PROMs burned for my bare board. I'll probably sell the bare board now.

BTW: Kudos to the seller for taking lots of very high quality pics. Really appreciated it.

Two boards are better than one... Do you have any of the Technico software?

Unfortunately no and I have a bad feeling that's rather hard to find.

I'd not seen any pictures of the video board before. Hopefully the documentation coming will fill in some holes on http://bitsavers.org/pdf/technico

Here are more pics from the auction. Huge props to the seller for going to this amount of trouble. Way beyond what other sellers would do.

No doubt, but if the code for a one-off TMS99105 homebrew SBC project can show up on github, there is at least hope.
