Alpha Syntauri – Mountain Computer Cards

March 15th, 2019 No comments

After I completed my first post about the Alpha Syntauri system, I started reading the Mountain Computer manual. It reminded me that the Mountain sound cards came in pairs and I only have one. The likelihood of restoring my Syntauri to working condition seems remote at this point. There is a possibility that someone will have Mountain Corporation sound cards, but they are becoming very rare.

There are Apple II computers, with language cards, still running so my hope is not quite extinguished.

Here is a blog article with a picture of a working system  

This seems to be from Germany

Here is a You Tube video

I was able to get so much more out of this system because of the years I spent programming it.

 

In the 1990s my keyboard was stolen out of my basement storage. I kept the computer for years, but at one point I had to let it go. I thought I removed all the cards and kept them. Now I open my storage box to find only one Mountain Computer Card.

The photo on the previous post tells the story. 

I hope to be able to pool my resources with someone who has the parts I lack or be able to buy them at a reasonable price. 

I know how to make this work and I have all the software and manuals. I would love to hear my sounds from 1983-1989 again.
