Mindset computer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mindset was sold around 1984 as a high-end graphics workstation which was somewhat "PC compatible". Based on Intel's 80186, it had proprietary chips that enhanced and sped up the graphics. It also had a 15MB hard disk and dual front-mounted ROM cartridge ports. A 5.25 floppy drive module that sat above the main unit was available and part of the common sales configuration for the system. Its case was also well designed and distinctive enough to get it into a display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
The team that designed the Mindset went on to engineer the 16-bit Atari ST which featured almost identical graphics specifications, if rather dissimilar overall system architectures.
