One of the defining features of the Hyperion is the slide-out living area.
The legendary bitsavers.org has a section for Canadian minicomputers. Look under pdf/dynalogic. They currently host the schematics for the D4-100 model, which covers the power supply and motherboard logic found in the full manual.
Unlike single-CPU machines, the Dynalogic 4 contains two independent processors:
| Processor | Role | |-----------|------| | Z80A @ 4 MHz | I/O, disk controller, serial/parallel ports | | 6809 @ 2 MHz | User application space, graphics |
They communicate through a 1 KB dual-port RAM mailbox. To switch modes, press CTRL + F9 (Z80) or CTRL + F10 (6809). Most business software runs on the Z80 (CP/M 2.2). Graphics and real-time tasks run on the 6809 (DynaOS).
