Technical Data for the MTX Series
Application & Technical Notes, Tutorials
As I have worked on my Memotech kit, I have gathered quite a lot of technical information such as component
datasheets and manufacturer's
data books. I have
made them available via these pages as they may be useful for others and,
given their age, some are not too easy to find.
My interest in
this data relates to its use in the
Memotech MTX series of computers and related hardware, so
the most useful information dates from, say, between 1983 and
1987. This page contains various tutorials and articles from
academic sources and manufacturer's websites which discuss
technology from the period and are almost certainly of little
interest if you are looking at today's technology. If you are looking for up to date information, the publications
here are likely not of use to you.
Much of this information comes from long defunct publications
or relates to obsolete technology, I don't imagine that the
copyright holders, are
vaguely interested in these pages, but if anyone has issues with
me making this information available, let me know and I will
remove the offending item(s).
