Ford COMPUTRUCK
The Ford Truck Division 'COMPUTRUCK'. A TRS-80 PC-2 customized for specifying a Ford semi-truck (tractor). Manufactured by Trends, Inc. of Detroit Michigan (no doubt contracted by Ford).
While it has a regular 4K RAM module in it a note in the manual/leaflet suggests a new 'computer module' will be released soon that plugs into the Computruck. Guessing this must have been a CE-160 or a custom EPROM board. Trends Inc is no longer in business, sadly, so I'm not sure where to try to look for more information or the software that would have been used. I was able to look up all the incorporation papers for Trends, Inc. but they provided little information. I am hoping to somehow find out more about how/why this was created. A friend is going to check with a Ford engineer she knows but it has been so long it might be hard to find someone who remembers it. |
