Apricot XEN (1985) 🍑

Released in October 1985 and developed by Apricot Computers, the XEN series was designed to compete directly with the IBM PC-AT.

The Apricot XEN series included three main versions: XEN FD, XEN HD, XEN WS.

The Apricot XEN was powered by the Intel 80286 processor, depending on the model, the XEN came with either 512 KB or 1 MB of RAM.

The XEN FD model featured two 720 KB floppy disk drives, while the XEN HD included a 20 MB hard disk drive. The XEN WS, a workstation model, did not include disk drives.

It ran Microsoft Windows 1.0, showcasing early graphical user interface capabilities. The XEN was capable of controlling up to 16 stations, making it suitable for business environments.

Despite its innovative design and advanced features, the Apricot XEN faced challenges due to its lack of IBM compatibility.

Three lovely UNIX machines networked together during Bytefest 2024. Btw Rhapsody OS is surprisingly a nice experience compared to the standard (pre-X) Mac OS.

I updated my workstation setup! I moved the stream PC closer to where the sound booth is. So hopefully, this will make collabs and recording a lot easier than it was.

This is what MANY years of tinkering and reiterating does to a man.

During the 80s DEC produced the Rigel chipset to power VAX workstations. The microprocessor code-named Rex had its own logo: a t-rex driving a convertible 🦖
