Forum rules


Before you post, please make sure...

- ...your topic is related to betas or abandonware. If it is not, don't post it here. Better help sites exist else where.
- ...you have first used Google to look for an answer, and you have asked other people you know via other methods (IM, e-mail, etc).
- ...your question has not been asked before. Search the forum first before posting.

If you meet those criteria, go ahead and post your question. Be sure to provide as much information you can about the problem and how to recreate it. Also provide information on hardware and software if applicable.

The Magnavox VideoWriter 350 is a dedicated word processor, I grabbed one at a sale for 1USD, and am trying to find out anything I can about it, hopefully a way to boot it up to something besides a word processor. Anyone know of any hacks, Easter eggs, or even what CPU this rig uses?

I doubt it… I looked around and didn't find much information… other than that they were released in '85…

It was basically marketed as a typewriter that you could view and change mistakes on, check out the commercial:

Seems kind of behind its time as both Apple and Microsoft had GUI based operating systems out by 1985. But I imagine this was a lot cheaper than a computer and was targeting the crowd who had used typewriters for years and was uncomfortable with computers.
