Talk:Exidy Sorcerer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wow, when I was in college, I knew someone who owned an Exidy Sorceror. I had forgotten about that until I saw this article. soulpatch

This article has made my day - I (with some friends) chipped in to buy one of these - we were very pleased with it at the time. The article has a link to a page where there is a link to an emulator - so I ran that (Java applet) - so strangely familiar. User:Wm

I vaguely recall that someone wrote a minimal version of Smalltalk (I want to say it was called "Tiny Smalltalk," though searching the web for that name turns up a Smalltalk written in Java), and a paper on it showed screenshots of it running on an Exidy Sorceror. Can someone else confirm my fuzzy recollections?

[edit] More Info

I found this site which detalied the Sorcer, mabye someone can add to the main article?

"The machine had its biggest brush with success in 1979 when the Dutch broadcasting company, TELEAC, decided to emulate the BBC's success and introduce their own home computer. "

This cannot be correct surely as the BBC computer did not appear until 1981 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.56.110.92 (talk) 18:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
