Re: The Transam Triton Personal Computer
Is that a recent picture or an old picture from the 80s? The wallpaper, telephone and condition of the Triton would suggest an old picture from the 80s.
What kind of condition is it in now?
I remember the Triton from the magazines back in the day, but never owned one. I was always put off the 8080 by the multiple voltage supplies.
I think you should try and get it running again, but don’t just plug it in and turn it on. Probably best to disconnect the power supply from the main board until you know the power supply is working correctly. The old systems running on multiple voltage supplies could suffer some serious damage if just one voltage is missing or over voltage.
I know at least one other forum member is working on reviving a Triton, so maybe it makes it a little easier knowing you are not going it alone.
