[Coco] Some MM/1 system board pics..

[Salvador Garcia]

Thanks, I had a quick look at the doc and the computer is quite a feat of engineering.  Rainbow Dec. 1991 issue? Hmmm... I should have that issue, somewhere. For now I'll make due with the PDF whose link you sent me. I would have figured that the case would be a tower, not desktop. Looks better than I imagined. Great, now I have a craving for M&Ms. Regards, Salvador


PS: Now if the text wouldn't bnch up together in one bog blob I would be happy.

Hi Salvador,Yes, it looks more or less like a generic PC case from the era.  You can see a picture of iton the cover of the Dec 1991 issue of Rainbow.Here are some links to my google drive for the Rainbow issue and the MM/1 technicalmanual if you’re interested in more info.Technical manual.<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1sgl615FlGna2hxYW1JaDI3aU0 <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1sgl615FlGna2hxYW1JaDI3aU0>>Rainbow, Dec. 1991 issue.<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1sgl615FlGndDJYdFhvWUYzUzA <https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1sgl615FlGndDJYdFhvWUYzUzA>>- Ed> On Dec 3, 2015, at 9:00 PM, Salvador Garcia <ssalvadorgarcia at netscape.net> wrote:> > Thank you for the pics! I did not know what an MM/1 was. Searching only produced links for sites featuring a speaker system. I was finally able to find some information on the MM/1, but still no pics. Since the information mentioned that this computer used a typical PC case I figured that the outside of the MM/1 would be lackluster.
