		Cromemco systems without ECC memory can be expanded in memory capacity in 256Kb increments by plugging additional 256KZ cards into the system.
		Cromemco is one of the few companies to offer error-correcting memory in microcomputer systems as a further commitment to equipment reliability.
		Cromemco's proprietary operating system, CROMIX, is also included on all systems for those users with dedicated application programs and to enable our current system users to transport their existing software to the new systems.

	Cromemco C-10SP.
		The C-10SP is the latest entry from Cromemco, one of the oldest and most respected manufacturers of small business-oriented computers.
		Cromemco apparently assumes that the average C-10 user will neither need nor understand the details of the inner workings of the machine.
		I do not nor do the people with whom I have spoken at Cromemco know just how many of the problems I experienced are bugs in the software and how many are attributable to hardware failures.

		Cromemco (named for CROthers MEMorial Hall - the Stanford residence where the founders lived), came into existance in the mid 1970s, and grew to become a major player in the S-100 business systems market.
		Their first system called the Z-1 was based on an IMSAI chassis with Cromemco boards, however they quickly moved on to building their own complete systems.
		Cromemco systems are known for their solid construction, massive power supply and large backplane.

	Cromemco at AllExperts
		Cromemco was a Mountain View, California microcomputer company that began as a partnership in 1974 between Harry Garland and Roger Melen, two Stanford PhD students.
		Cromemco produced the graphical microcomputers used by many television stations for weather forecasts during the mid to late 1980s.
		It was wholly owned by Garland and Melen until it was sold to Dynatech in 1987 as a supplier to their subsidiary Colorgraphics Weather Systems.

		Cromemco was based in Mountain View, Calif. and was an early proponent of the Zilog Z-80 CPU chip.
		Cromemco also produced some of the earliest bank-select memory boards - a solution to the limit of 64K RAM caused by the early CPUs.

	The Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center
		We installed a switch in the LSI terminal to reset the computer and built a small rack-mounted panel to simplify transferring files between the Cromemco and other computers, some of which were reached by modem.
		The Cromemco was still at Prentis (632 West 125), and working, when my association with the Center faded "under new management" following the death of Professor Vladimir Ussachevsky.
		The Cromemco Z80 was bought in 1978 for a project (The CPEMC Digitally Driven Studio) involving computer control of analog synthesizer devices in the studio.

		The Cromemco Z-1 uses an IMSAI chassis, with 22 card slots and a 28 amperes (about 300 watts) power supply.
		The major innovation of the Z-1 is the use of the 4 Mhz version of the Z-80 processor.

		When Cromemco came out with the 16FDC's I got one very early and was heart broken when they said I should now turn around and buy and expensive 299.
		I talked to Cromemco and they reiterated that I shouldn't use a 277 with the 16FDC, I ignored their advice.
		I dragged out a Cromemco Bytesaver that has not been used in over 20 years this morning, and I was able to successfully burn new SOLOS proms for the SOLs.

		The Cromemco Z-2 (not on dsplay) was built to address the needs of the industrial market, but did one better!
		The C3 machine exhibited here was purchased in 1976(?) by Professor Ken Colby and used in the UCLA Psychiatry department, mainly for voice generation though a Votrax speech synthesizer, built by Jim Graham at the EE dept. of UCLA.
		Here the CROMEMCO C3 was used as the development platform for software to be downloaded onto a far-before-its-time notebook computer (built at UCLA), which was then carried by a person who could not speak.

		They were built around the S-100 bus and Cromemco also produced a line of plug in cards for any S-100 system.
		I'm sure your company no longer has a use for their Z-2 or other Cromemco system so why not pass it on to me.

	Dave's Biography
		It should also be noted that a "Word Processor" was $25,000 dollars if purchased from Lanier or Wang, about $20,000 if it was made by Imsai or Cromemco, and about $15,000 if one purchased kits.
		In May of 1978, Computers Plus was recommended as the best place to get computer service by the Washington Post and I was the only "technician" in their shop.
		That same year, I was factory certified by Apple, Imsai, Cromemco, and Dynabyte.

		Early products were cards for the S-100 bus, as used by the Altair and IMSAI computers.
		In 1982, Cromemco also introduced the CS-1H system using a dual processor board (Motorola 68000 and Z80) and offering 16 MB of address space.

		I still remember my first exposure to the personal computer in the lab of Dr. James Spotila at SUNY College at Buffalo as a Master's student in 1979.
		It was a machine from Cromemco with 4KB RAM that ran at 4MHz, with a single low density floppy for storage (160 KB).
		Computers that you will use in BIOL 331 are Pentium III computers with 256MB RAM that run at 500 MHZ with a 20 GB hard drive for storage, not to mention multimedia and an Ethernet card for Internet access.

		An optional Motorola 68000 could be added, though the S-100 bus is 8 bits wide, so that the (externally) 16 bit 68000 would have to be multiplexed onto the bus, with obvious repercussions on its speed.
		It's expected to have a terminal connected to act as the system console.
		A suitable console would be Cromemco's personal machine, the Cromemco C-10.

		Cromix is offered by Cromemco, and I assume therefore that it is intended only to run on Cromemco machines.
