Info for einstein


Tatung Einstein TC-01

The Tatung Einstein is a 8-bit computer with hardware similar
to the MSX-1. The computer was produced with two 3" disk drives and
ran the CP/M operating system.
The TC-01 is the first version of the hardware, with the 256 being
the second version aimed more towards games.
When this driver starts, and a disk is not in the drive, a internal
monitor program will start.
To use this driver you will need the Xtal operating system disks
which will start CP/M and from here you can run many CP/M based
programs.
You can put a disk image into the drive and boot CP/M by pressing
CTRL+ALT together.

Usage/Known Issues:
The floppy disc emulation may not be fully working.
Interrupts are not working properly.
Thank you to Chris Coxall for the schematics, a dump of the bios ROM,
and the Xtal operating system. He has been a great help with the development
of this driver.
Thank you to Andrew Dunipace for help with the 80-column expansion card.
