Re: [tatung_einstein] Help required for new Einstein owner

I have an Einstein TC01.
If you have access to a PC, Google will list a few sites of interest
Where are you based? This will give me a clue if a visit either way would help.
There are guides available but even the handbook is rather cryptic at times. E-bay usually has something on offer.
What kind of Einstein do you have? Is it a TC01 (40 column display) or 256  (80 Column)?
The make should be at the back of the machine on the serial plate.
Where do you want to start?
What software do you have that you want to get to grips with?
Sorry for all the questions but it gives me a clue where to start.

Hi, having recently obtained an Einstein and some disks, but
unfortunately no manuals, I'm a bit stuck.

Are there any 'how to' guides available for novices to learn how to
operate the Einstein.

I am fairly familiar with other home micros of the early 80's but am
unsure of the commands available for accessing disks etc that the
Einstein uses.

Any help or links that anyone can offer will be gratefully received.

thanks Grez1m
