Specifications
Description The Sol-10 was
intended to be a stripped down Sol-20, functioning as a "smart
terminal." The Sol-10 didn't have the expansion backplane, lacked
the numeric keypad (optional), had a wimpy power supply and didn't
require a cooling fan. If you want to read an interesting account of the meteoric rise and fall of Processor Technology, get hold of a copy of the book, Stan Veit's History of the Personal Computer. (2)
