Hey Mr Vanpeebs!

Greetings. Glad to see you have upgraded from the Einstein 256, at last

Welcome aboard.

Edit: Two observations:

• Firstly, (lovely looking machine, BTW) you have the keyboard with the more unusual font; see the return key has the whole word "RETURN" written on it, rather that "RET". Also the CAP LOCK key usually says ALPHA LOCK.
• Secondly, the badge says MTX512 but I can't help but wonder how much RAM you actually have in there! MTX 512 machines are not uncommonly only 32k.

Ooh, I'll check it

Obviously a look inside is good, but if

Code: Select all

PRINT PEEK(64122)

returns 0, you have 32k. If it returns 1, you have 64k

Don't forget to fill in the hardware survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KPR8V5K

if it returns 15, you have MFX (probably)

Just had a quick Peep inside

As Steve suggested, this is a 32k motherboard that has "lost" the 32k expansion card that would have been fitted to make a (64k) MTX512
