Writing MightyFrame Device Drivers - Manual
A million thanks to Al Kossow at bitsavers.org for providing us with a PDF of our first MightyFrame manual!
Al also provided our first MightyFrame system overview brochure, as well as CTIX overview brochures...all a first for us to ever see!

Reconstructing an AT&T 7300
Several kind folks on comp.sys.3b1 and the MARCH Yahoo Group have suggested that, in order for us to gain a better understanding of the workings of the rare and elusive MightyFrame, that we should get familiar with the AT&T 7300 / 3b1.
Many say that this machine, manufactured by Convergent Technologies for AT&T, is "functionally equivalent to the MiniFrame". Even though the MiniFrame and the MightyFrame have significant differences, this certainly seems like a great next step for us.
So, thus begins our journey....
