Yes, there was the COSMAC ELF, from a company called Netronics. I was doing IBM System III's in RPG, and I talked my boss into buying me one of the ELF systems for maybe $200. The company was out in Western Connecticut, I can't remember the town (I was NW CT-based). The company was located in a building that used to be a motorcycle shop. It was a nice system, I had a lot of fun with it, and expanded it greatly. RCA was selling the COSMAC VIP system, which was very similar. There were some nice interpreters for the system for designing simple games. The video was DMA-based, so updating memory updated the simple video display. I probably ended up spending almost as much for that system as I did for my 286-based system.... ============================================================ Chuck Grandgent, PictureTel Corporation Peabody, Mass k1om@cup.portal.com =========================================================
