Welcome!

Welcome to the new forum for the Tatung Einstein TC01 and 256. Hopefully we can make a small corner of the web, a home for these almost forgotten machines!

Hear hear. It's such a great machine but I think the size puts most people off

I hope the 256 is a bit smaller! The TC-01 will be my new PC monitor stand when it arrives!

Monitor stand?

I was going to post a comedy photo of my tatty holding my monitor (which it is) but the image is too large (ironically) and I cannot reduce the quality on my phone.

Is there any way to auto reduce the size at point of import as they do on SinclairZXWorld?

[vanpeebles]

Does it say the image is too big?

[vanpeebles]

Try that now

The only way I'll get my TC-01 onto my desk when it arrives, is to replace my monitor stand thing put my PC monitor on it as well. Then use the monitor for PC and TC-01

Once more with an image!

It takes nearly half my desk. That is a 40” screen.

The 256 is significantly smaller & a little bit "plasticky" especially compared to the tank that is the TC01.

I'm guessing that most folks will prefer the bigger older brother? The 256 sounds like it has a lot of untapped potential. I was looking at vids of MSX2 games on youtube, and I believe the gfx chip is the same one.
