and the rear view. (No cables but I could rustle some up.)   On the rear are left to right (they are all seen best in FULLSIZE photograph) :   |
This is the processor box opened up. On the right are two 5¼:" 340 KByte floppy disk drives.   This is the Mother Board. To the lower right is three 40 pin chips. The leftmost is a D780C-1 chip. This is the 4MHz Z80 CPU. To the right of it are two D8237AC-5 chips, they are HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAMMABLE DMA CONTROLLERS. (DMA - Direct Memory Access.) To the left a bit above is D765AC chip. GOOGLING it gives "Single/Double Density Floppy-Disk Controllers". Top left is three blocks of 8 brown 16 pin HN4864p-2 chips labelled BANK1, BANK2 and BANK3. Googling "HN4864P-2" gives 65536 x 1-Bit DRAM. (DRAM is an acronym of Dynamic Random Access Memory.) So each Bank is 64KByte of RAM, totalling 192KByte.   This is the daughter board. The big chip D7220-1 is a High-Performance Graphics Display Controller. The two columns of eight 16pin D416C chips above left are 16K x 1, Page Mode Dynamic RAM. So that is 32KByte of fast Random Access Memory to supply the image on the moniter.   This is the card from the expansion slot. It has got a 24 pin DIM chip D2716D which is 16K UV Erasable PROM, but found nothing about the other DIMs. I am guessing the 40 pin DIM is a microprocessor. Then I found a Yet another computer museum which has a photograph of the same expansion card. The QX-10 has a MultiFont functionality via this expansion card.   The power supply.   The keyboard in bits, lots of bits.   Keyboard.   Inside the monitor. It is a Cathode Ray Tube which inside is a vacuum with an electron gun at the narrow end on the right to a flourescent screen on the left controlling the electron beam to scan horizontally and then vertically to produce a raster image.   The other side. There are a lot of bits and pieces connected by wires, cost a fair amount to make.   The inside of the EPSON FX80 DOT MATRIX PRINTER.     |
