Article: Micral. Micral is a series of microcomputers produced by the French company Réalisation d'Études Électroniques (R2E), beginning with the Micral N in early 1973. The Micral N was one of the first commercially available microprocessor-based computers. In 1986, three judges at The Computer Museum, Boston – Apple ... | Wikipedia - Micral - Summary | 247 | 1,062 | null |
Section: Micral N. R2E founder André Truong Trong Thi (EFREI degree, Paris), a French immigrant from Vietnam, asked Frenchman François Gernelle to develop the Micral N computer for the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), starting in June 1972. Alain Perrier of INRA was looking for a computer for proce... | Wikipedia - Micral - Micral N | 344 | 1,422 | null |
It had a backplane bus, called the Pluribus with 74-pin connector. 14 boards could be plugged in a Pluribus. With two Pluribus, the Micral N could support up to 24 boards. The computer used MOS memory instead of core memory. The Micral N could support parallel and serial input/output. It had 8 levels of interrupt and a... | Wikipedia - Micral - Micral N | 345 | 1,453 | null |
Section: Later models. Following the April 1974 introduction of the Intel 8080, R2E introduced the second and third Micral models, 8008-based at 1 MHz Micral G and 8080-based at 1 MHz Micral S. In November 1975, R2E signed Warner & Swasey Company as the exclusive manufacturer and marketer of the Micral line in the Unit... | Wikipedia - Micral - Later models | 330 | 1,468 | null |
By October, R2E had set up an American subsidiary, R2E of America, in Minneapolis. The Micral V Portable (1978) could run FORTRAN and assembler under the Sysmic operating system, or BAL. The original Sysmic operating system was renamed Prologue in 1978. Prologue was able to perform real-time multitasking, and was a mul... | Wikipedia - Micral - Later models | 299 | 1,233 | null |
Section: Legacy. Truong's R2E sold about 90,000 units of the Micral that were mostly used in vertical applications such as highway toll booths and process control. Litigation followed after Truong started claiming that he alone invented the first personal computer. The courts did not judge in favor of Truong, who was d... | Wikipedia - Micral - Legacy | 227 | 1,008 | null |

Section: Versions. The initial 1984 US version named AT&T 6300 came with either one or two 360 KB 5.25" floppy drives; a hard disk was not offered. In Europe, Olivetti launched a 10 MHz version: the Olivetti M24 SP, announced in November 1985, a contender for the title of "highest clocked 8086 computer" as its processo... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Versions | 346 | 1,455 | null |
A review in PC Magazine declared that AT&T's 6300 Plus was "flat out the better machine" compared to the IBM PC/AT. The version of Simultask included with the 6300 Plus was based on Locus Computing Corporation's Merge software. In order to allow MS-DOS applications to run as "concurrent UNIX tasks", a non-standard hard... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Versions | 324 | 1,471 | null |
An Iomega Bernoulli 10/10 removable cartridge drive was also offered as a factory option, as well as a "small expansion" sidecar hosting a hard drive for users who found themselves with no internal space left between floppies and expansion cards. After the 6300 Plus, AT&T announced that it was turning over both product... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Versions | 282 | 1,158 | null |
Section: Features. The M24 was designed to be highly compatible with IBM PC. One of its characteristics was the use of the more powerful 8.0 MHz Intel 8086 CPU rather than the 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 used in IBM's own PC XT, configured for "maximum mode" that allowed direct installation of an 8087 math co-processor (also a... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Features | 306 | 1,334 | null |
Section: Features > CGA compatible video card. The M24/6300 had an unusual enhanced 32 KB CGA-compatible video card (Video Enhanced Adapter - EGC 2413) which, in addition to standard 200-line CGA graphics modes (automatically line doubled, transparent to software, with text modes also using 400 scanlines with higher qu... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Features > CGA compatible video card | 270 | 1,137 | null |
All modes were non-interlaced, albeit running at a then-common 50 Hz Vsync rate, and required the dedicated OEM 26.3 kHz, 12" monitor (either colour or multi-level monochrome) because of their comparatively high line frequency, with all but the M20 mode using the 24 MHz system master crystal to drive the pixel clock ei... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Features > CGA compatible video card | 287 | 1,224 | null |
Colour depth remained the standard fixed 4-colour CGA palettes in 320×200, and "monochrome" in all higher modes (any selectable RGB(I) foreground colour/one of 15 shades, with a fixed black background), but could be expanded to 4 or 8 colours/greyscales in all resolutions, and 16 in all but 512×256, with the addition o... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Features > CGA compatible video card | 301 | 1,385 | null |
CGA compatibility was necessarily limited to "RGB" modes, and "well behaved" software that only used the BIOS-preset modes and didn't attempt too much clever direct reprogramming of the CRTC registers (including setting of pseudo-text hack modes like 160×100 16 colours), as there was no composite video output available... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Features > CGA compatible video card | 305 | 1,327 | null |
These, as well as any other replacement video card, could be used in the 6300 so long as they were designed to work either specifically with the machine (for high speed 16-bit cards), or in an IBM PC compatible mode (necessarily 8-bit at 4.77 MHz). However, the original graphics card had to remain in place even if no l... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Features > CGA compatible video card | 323 | 1,438 | null |
Some plasma-screen and early LCD based portables from Compaq and other manufacturers also copied the M24/6300's graphics hardware to make better use of early square-pixel 640×400 panels popular for Japanese and other non-IBM portables (still well suited to the basic CGA/EGA resolutions, but not so much EGA-high or MDA/... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Features > CGA compatible video card | 214 | 927 | null |
Section: Features > Keyboard. Olivetti produced 2 official keyboards for the M24 Keyboard 1 - ANK 2463 (With 83 keys) Keyboard 2 - ANK 2462 (With 92 keys) The keyboard used a proprietary 9-pin D-sub connector built into the system board and had the unconventional option of plugging a mouse into the keyboard via another... | Wikipedia - Olivetti M24 - Features > Keyboard | 156 | 702 | null |
