Pity You Can't Play Crysis On This
« on: Sat, 02 July 2011, 20:23:03 »
New on the famous Bitsavers site, which hosts photographic PDF copies, with permission, of many old computer manuals:

http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/scm/

A brochure and a brief manual for the Typetronic, a small scale business computer that used a modified ordinary electric typewriter as its I/O device. After all, Smith-Corona was a typewriter company, so they didn't need to buy someone else's Flexowriter.

Not the ultimate computer by any stretch of the imagination, but yet it had the ultimate keyboard.

I wouldn't quite call it the ultimate keyboard.  It has a "disc interlock" to prevent pressing two keys simultaneously.  That would seriously interfere with any kind of gaming.  Without that, though, I would imagine it would be pretty nice.
