My AgendA Lives!

She’s a bit dusty, and some of the dust is behind the screen…

I found my AgendA power supply in the garage today. I found the AgendA about six months ago, so this was quite a useful thing to do. The AgendA is a personal organizer from the 1980s with a fantastic chord keyboard. I loved using mine back in the day.

At first it looked like it was broken. Nothing appeared on the screen - then it started beeping every thirty seconds or so. Then I turned it off and on again and it sprang into life. The problem with the AgendA is that it uses nickel-cadmium batteries which have failed big time. So it only really works when plugged in. However, work it does. I’ve got the spreadsheet, some memory cards and even a low-level programming manual. Somewhere I’ve also got the serial and parallel connector cables. I might see about how much I can get working.

Next stop is the Cybiko……
