| | Home Computer Display (1970's) (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The Osborne 1 computer is Z-80 based, has 64k of memory, two 5 1/4 inch single density floppy drives, a 4 inch (!) internal monitor, one serial port and a parallel (more or less) printer port, and runs CP/M. The screen could dispay a line of 40 characters. |
 | | For those who prefer not to do their computer work in 'eye-test' mode, there is a provision on the system for connection of an external monitor. |
 | | The Computer Faires, started in 1977 by Jim Warren (ex Stanford MS student), were the primary public venues for home computing. |
