Aamber Pegasus
- sliken 7y agoNot sure why this is posted today. Interesting home PC that I hadn't heard of, much like the TRS-80 Color computer (not that closely related to the TRS-80). Same CPU (6809) and I believe the same huge speed up when you disabled the display. Not sure why it was posted today, but it's the earliest case I know of adding DRM. The pegasus has a set of diodes on the board (hidden under putty) that forms a 8 bit ID. So an EPROM update for one computer only had a 1 in 256 chance of working on any other computer.
