Hello,

I am looking for information about the MAD-1 computer, like a user or technical manual, photos of the internals.
I didn't find much information on the web, so I'm asking here. The MAD-1 computer seems to be rare.

I'm interested in the MAD-1 because the French Computer maker STM-Goupil apparently started from the MAD-1 to create the SMT-Goupil G4.
I'd like to confirm the connection between the Mad Computer company and SMT.

Here is a picture of the SMT-Goupil G4, which is based on the 80186 CPU and which was initially released in 1985 with DOS 2.11 and Windows 1.

The CHM has a MAD-1: https://www.computerhistory.org/collections/catalog/X1620.99A

Are there members of the CHM on this forum ?

It is to be noted that while exploring some 8" floppy disk for the ealier Goupil G3 that I have dumped recently, I found some BIOS source code related to the MAD-1.
That tends to confirm that the SMT Goupil G4 is a derivative of the MAD-1.
