THE TAYLORIX SYSTEM 4 IS A MULTI PURPOSE OFFICE/ PERSONAL COMPUTER.
THERE WERE CONFIGURATIONS JUST FOR THE USE AS DATA ENTRY STATION (WITHOUT CRT DISPLAY - JUST A LED DISPLAY INTEGRATED WITHIN THE KEYBOARD) FOR THE TAYLORIX DATA PROCESSING SERVICE CENTER AS WELL AS FULLY EQUIPPED OFFICE COMPUTERS WITH AMBER CRT AND HARDDISK.
ALSO TWO DIFFERENT GENERATIONS OF THE TAYLORIX SYSTEM 4 ARE EXISTING:
THE FIRST WITH 8 INCH DISK DRIVES IN HUGE BROWN FLOOR STANDING CABINETS, THE SECOND WITH 5¼ INCH DRIVES IN WHITE DESKTOP ENCLOSURES.
THIS PAGE COVERS THE FIRST GENERATION S4 IN MY COLLECTION. IT HAS A MONOCHROME AMBER DISPLAY AND TWO 8" FLOPPY DISK DRIVES. IN THE ORIGINAL CONFIGURATION, THERE WAS ALSO A TYPE WHEEL PRINTER CONNECTED TO THE SYSTEM.

| 2007 ? | BOUGHT IT FROM A GUY IN BERLIN. HE WANTED TO KEEP THE TYPE WHEEL PRINTER... |
| | IT CAME WITH CP/M 2.2 AND SOME MICROPRO CORP. OFFICE SOFTWARE (WORDSTAR, DATASTAR AND CALCSTAR) ON |
| | SOME EIGHT INCH FLOPPY DISKS. |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 2007 ? | I USED THE CALCSTAR TO MANAGE SOME BOTTLES OF MY BEER BOTTLE COLLECTION. |
| | I FELT LIKE A KIND OF TIME TRAVELER DOING THIS... |
| | SEEMS, THAT THIS VERSION OF CP/M DOES NOT HAVE A FORMAT COMMAND, SO THIS MACHINES NEEDS PRE-FORMATTED |
| | DISKS! |
