As these computers are quite uncommon but historicly significat I am using this website & thus this page as a hub for all the info I have gathered in these machines over the years.
I link to download the ROMs & PC software can be found here: Software & ROMs & GitHub
A link the the Husky Hunter manual can be found here: Husky Hunter Manual & Husky Hunter Manual VO 9 F 1984
Husky Hunter 2 can be found here: Husky Hunter 2 Manual

Videos can be found here I have recored of the various models of Husky computers.
Some range from overviews to full technical videos, to just stupid stufff I have done.
ROM dumps of all the Huskys can be found here: Husky EPROM's
The first generation of truly portable computers & the birth of the laptop. These were originly relesed in 1981 although the units I have are from early to late 1982. I have one clivilan model & rwo army models. In this page I will go into all the details I have on these. Still trying to hunt down a manual for one. These machines are very rare, only a hand full of examples still exsist.
Probaly the machine I have the most information on. I have manuals for the Hunter & Hunter 2. I have used the machine a lot in uni just for funzys. They also used DEMOS a CP/M clone as their main OS which means it will run standard CP/M software. It even has a 80 colum display suport.
Basicly a cost reduced unrugidised Husky Hunter 2. There are some rugidised versions of the Hawk used in you guessed it, in the army. This one is sadly dead, I used the display to repair my Husky Hunter 16 as the Hunter 16 had been completly smashed. (Not sure what you have to put a Husky though to smash it)
These were the first Huskys to forgo the CP/M compaterble OS as in the 90s it was pretty much done. These Huskys run on MS DOS which was all the rage in the 90s & won out over CP/M in the profesional market. Still have that original Husky build quality.
The Husky FS2 was the next generation of MS DOS Huskys. Smaller, handheald & used one less battery, but still just as rugged & waterproof.
Holding both shits down & power for 5 seconds will force a hard reset, this is needed when you replace the batterys or leave the device sitting around without batterys in. Otherwise they don't boot.
The Much improved MS DOS husky with a far more powerful CPU in it from 1998, the Intel i386 EX for embedded systems.
Holding both shits down & power for 5 seconds will force a hard reset, this is needed when you replace the batterys or leave the device sitting around without batterys in. Otherwise they don't boot.
Basicly a cost reduced Husky FS3, has the same basic hardware but with some cut backs, common the main Husky models to have some spinoffs.

An Itronix Husky Prototype that tuned out to be an early review version of a GoBook 100/IX100 Windows CE machine. I also covered this machine in detail on my YouTube channel, a link to the video can be found in the videos section. It is quite an interesting machine filled with bodge wires & due to being a prototype it is quite a rear machine.
Anyone with more info on this machine please get in touch.
Guide that is also hosted on the Wayback machine. Good to have more than one backup with how the biggest lie of the internet is: Whatever goes on the internet, stays on the internet.
Also has information on making a Husky communication cable.
For all the MS-DOS documentation i have been able to find or been given.
Army Use Case For The Hunter
Army Use Case For The Hunter
In this video here is an interesting use case of how the army would use the Husky Hunter computer, MK1 versions, to calculate the Db loss between to radio links, the Husky's would have terrine data etc. This would allow them to calculate for hills or any other obstetrical's. This would allow the army to work out good points for communication links quickly instead of taking about an hour plus to know if site worked.
Well worth a watch.
