- ...PC.
- Well, kinda. The Victor demo was one
of the sleaziest things I have ever done. We didn't have the 8086
version even close to running on the Victor, but we wanted to be able
to show the ``potential of CAD on the Victor'', so I wrote a
plot-to-file driver for Interact on the Marinchip 9900. This wrote
what we would call slide files today. Then I wrote a BASIC program on
the Victor that read these slides and drew them on the screen using a
Victor-supplied graphics driver for BASIC. It worked well enough to
convince Victor and many Victor dealers that CAD on a PC was
real-even if it wasn't real quite yet.
