There was a request posted recently, by Al McIntosh through
this new group, requesting if anyone still used DIGITAL
GROUP hardware.

I am happy to say that I am still using my DIGITAL GROUP system
that I purchased 1977.
I use it for my personal home accounting needs as well as a
learning aid for my four year old son.
In addition, since I teach part time at a local University,
I use the system to keep track of my students grades.
.sp
The current configuration of my DIGITAL GROUP system is:
.sp
.in +4
Z80 CPU running at 2.5 MHz. (DG CPU board)
.br
32K of static RAM (2102 type) (4-8K DG memory boards)
.br
TVC-64 Video display board (DG video board)
.br
Phi-Deck controller board (DG controller board)
.br
Three Phi-Deck digital tape drives
.br
Four parallel I/O ports (DG I/O board)
.br
One RS-232 serial port (custom board)
.br

.sp
In addition, I have a fully custom designed system that
is software compatible with all of DIGITAL GROUPs 
software.
In fact, at this time I am operating with the Phi-Deck
tape drives.
.sp
My custom system has the following configuration:
.sp
.in +4
Z80 CPU operating at 2.5 or 4.0 MHz. (selectable)
.br
64K memory (dynamic)
.br
Four parallel I/O ports
.br

.br
Multiple BOOT and UTILITY ROM board
.br

I am currently operating under HI-PHI-II a modified version of
DIGITAL GROUPS PHIMON operating system.
I am currently running BUSINESS BASIC 1 and 2 as well as OPUS II
and CONVERS.
Along with the above software, I have most of DIGITAL GROUPs
assemblers, disassemblers, text editors, and games.
.sp
I will be adding CPM to my system as soon as I get the disk
interface installed.

DIGITAL GROUP hardware and would like to exchange information,
please contact me, either through the net or directly at one of
these addresses or phone numbers:
