Talk:CST Thor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Various things
I have some issues with recent edits to this article:
- There was never a "Thor-16" AFAIK, only the Thor XVI (differences between UK and Denmark-built Thor XVIs were minimal).
- Hence info added to the "Thor PC" section about "Thor-16" is redundant
- Actually, the phrase "Thor PC" is not used historically, "CST Thor" being preferred so as to avoid any possible confusion with Marvel Comic's "The Mighty Thor".
- "Thor 8" was a retrofitted usage; "Thor 1" originated with a misinterpreted reference to "Thor 1F" (single floppy model).
- Hence info added to the "Thor PC" section about "Thor-16" is redundant
- Qdos remained on the ROMs on the QL motherboard in the Thor 1/Thor PC, AFAIK.
- The only QJUMP firmware included, IIRC, would be the flp floppy device driver.
- QJump provided command line utility commands, such as "wdir" for wild card directory listings.
- QJump also produced various software tools (e.g. debuggers) and hardware products (e.g. eprom programmer), which were sold by CST.
- Claimed production numbers lack reference
- IIRC, Thor 20/21 was launched before Thor XVI and used QL motherboard like original Thor 1/Thor PC, with daughterboard added.
- Only reference I can find to a projected post-Thor XVI model, is this article which mentions a "Thor XX", not "Thor-32"
- QL CPU ran at 7.5 MHz, not 7.4
- The hard disk Thor PC configuration was called the Thor 2WF and had a 20 MB disk, according to my references.
- "Thor W2F"
