Beschreibung:

8-Bit Microcomputer, 1977, wooden cover over metal case, 194 x 521 x 443 mm, brushed aluminum face plate with anodized blue aluminum label, with two 5 1/4-inch disk drives, two serial ports, power supply, fan, 6 boards including: 1. North Star Z-80 Processor Board ZPB-A2. 2-5. North Star 16K RAM Board, 1977. 6. North Star Micro Disk Controller MDS-AD2. Begun by the Berkeley, CA-based Drs. Chuck Grant and Mark Greenberg under the name Kentucky Fried Computers, they were eventually convinced to change the name. Their first big product was the North Star disk system which, coupled with a S-100 bus controller and offered for $699 in kit form, was the first floppy disk system that was affordable for hobbyists. They converted the profits from that success into their own S-100 computer system, the North Star Horizon—one of the first microcomputers to include disk drives.
