  1. Now the rare Motorola #MC6809 in the #Thomson #TO7-70 has found a worthy place next to its successor in Atari. The light pen works on a tube TV without any problems. However, the accuracy is like 'oh, I hit the left top of the screen' :) At the time, however, it was quite a unique selling point of this computer.

  6. It was a quick evening to get the floppy drive of the #Thomson #TO7-70 working. When I opened the case, I immediately noticed that the floppy cable had come loose from the drive and was hanging around. I plugged it in and did a quick test; no more "NO DISK" errors. :) I also took the opportunity to do some cleaning, add a missing foot, format a C64 floppy disk with DSKINI0, and save a BASIC test program. Everything's working great, and it's ready for the exhibition. But first, I'll take a look at the cartridge with the 6809 assembler.

  11. Today, with an unusual follow-up project. This #Thomson #TO7-70, sold almost exclusively in France, was donated to us almost fully equipped. Various cartridges including an #assembler, floppy drive with controller, light pen, etc.
    Unfortunately, the keyboard membrane was completely broken at the connectors, and all attempts with silver paint and conductive adhesive foil failed. And I couldn't find a replacement anywhere, so I bought a second, defective one in the hope that its membrane was still in working order :) And it is, keyboard fully functional.

  20. Excellente vidéo sur Michel Leduc, l'un des créateurs du TO-7 (et les suivants).
    On y apprend tout ce qu'il s'est passé en coulisse. Passionnant !

  21. #VendrediLecture : Je viens de finir « Le #Thomson #TO7, succès controversé de la microinformatique française », le récit vu de l'intérieur d'une saga industrielle française, et c'était passionnant. J'y ai même découvert l'existence de modèles de la gamme dont j'ignorais l'existence, et qui sont forts séduisants : #TO9, #MO6 et surtout le #TO8D !

  26. Well, it doesn't look particularly good. And in the end it's just an attempt, but it already worked at #Enterprise128. I attached thin, flexible wires to the conductor track using silver lacquer. On the other side are 90° angled plugs. I'll see if it still works on Saturday.

  31. Today I demounted the #Thomson #TO7-70. The upper row of keys does not work properly, so I give it a try to repair the keyboard foil connector. Searched a bit, but there seems to be no replacement part available.
    It was a very complete donation at 3rd Oct. with lots of ROM modules & expansions and a diskette drive.
