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 .in -4 .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.
