Hello from Finland

Post by jvaltane » Sun May 11, 2014 5:13 pm

Hello,

I'm hobbyist collector of all kinds of old computer and console stuff. After some googling I realized that I have had about 15 years such rare machine on my hands, Salora Manager. I live in Finland and I earn my living as Linux software developer.

I started my computer career with C64 in 80. Later I changed C64 to Amiga500 then to Amiga1200. I bought my first PC when I was studying. Now I own several Amigas, Macs (68k and PPC) and PC:s, VIC20, C64, C128D, Salora Manager, handhelds (gp2x, psp, nds, Pandora...), gameconsoles (megadrive, dreamcast, wii...).

One thing connects all of these machines: I am able to compile own programs to all of them. I do not buy any machine if I'm limited to use only commercial products.

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum!

Do you own any peripherals for the Manager? or any Commercial or selfwritten Software? Handbooks? Manuals?...

Manuals: Scans of manuals are already on the way to MADrigal. Those all are in finnish.
  • pikaopas. It is short (about 40 pages) guide how you can operate with Salora Manager
  • basic handbook
  • gamemanuals
  • datacasettemanual
Pheriperals: Somewhere I have datacasetterecorder (Salora Fellow)

Games: I have only three game-cartridges
  • Hyppivä poliisi (Plice jump)
  • Auton takaa-ajo (Auto chase)
  • Chopper rescue
Selfwritten software: I once wrote simple-snake like game with basic to Manager. Casette just refused to work last time I tried it. There will be more as soon as I learn some Manager specific stuff.

Pictures of my setup: As soon as I and/or my photographer friend have some spare time.
