Hi,
I'm a newcomer to the forums, so hello everyone.
I'm in search of anything from a company called "the digital group". Not to be confused with DEC, they were based in Denver in the mid to late 70s.
My father and I recently pulled one of these from my parents' attic where it had been stored since the early 80s. After some help from compressed air and reading a few manuals, it's up and running except for the keyboard. Fortunately the keyboard is a fairly simple ASCII keyboard type, and is well documented, like many things from that era, so I was able to rig up a PS2-ASCII keyboard converter with a microcontroller, and have some fun playing Galaxie and Kingdom on the DG machine.
In any case, I'm looking for any other digital group items that may be out there. If you have anything and are looking to sell, please let me know! Would like to help these machines see the light of day again. Thanks!
