A big thanks to Riley Lipton Perry for putting together a podcast of the best known story of the Excalibur 64 computer and yes I'm in it. The podcast goes for 56min and you can listen to it at

Thanks for sharing that podcast. I remember seeing the advertisements and reviews for the Excalibur in the local electronics and technology magazines back in the day, but I never knew much about it.
It seems odd that a single robbery brought the whole company down. I guess that they had insurance, but keeping paying wages and rent while rebuilding from scratch must have been too much for them.

I was told they didn't have insurance, that was the main problem which left them with one option only, that was to close. Pity, it was a very advanced computer, at the time.

Hi ChickenMan,
Great stuff!
I remember us having fun working out the internals a few years back when some rom dumps and technical info popped up.
Cheers,
Leslie
