So the full spec on the (LCD) screen resolution is 400 x 240 x 1 bit. Similar to the old TRS-80 Model 100 laptop, which had an LCD screen that was 240 x 64 x 1 bit. Or the original Macintosh, a CRT screen at 512 x 342 x 1 bit. Fred
Not to mention that the DM42 runs at 24MHz unplugged and 80MHz when USB tethered, and that it has 32MB RAM! The TRS-80 ran at 1.8MH and had a max of 48 KILObyes of RAM. The old Mac ran at 6MHz and had a whopping 128 KILObytes of RAM.
@@mokopa I think the original Mac ran at 8 MHz (a close friend bought one in Oct. 1984). And you could get it with either 128 kB or 512 kB RAM. But yeah, certainly nowhere near the DM42 specs!
Great video, Jim. DM-42 graphics information isn't actually "pervasive" online, so thanks very much for working through this and sharing it with us.
Me: **sees talk about a calculator** ... *Pfft* ...who would watch that.....eh...might as well. *17 minutes and 15 seconds later* .... I WANT ONE.
