Lot 481
A Synertek Systems Synertek SYM-1" and is a 6502 Development system, c.1975, in original case with original booklets including a copy of Microchess a chess playing Program by Peter Jennings, SYM Reference Manual; Programming Manual, Programming the 6502; 6502 Application Book, in original black plastic case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYM-1 The SYM-1 was a single board "trainer" computer produced by Synertek Systems Corp in 1975. It was designed by Ray Holt who also designed the first microprocessor chip set used in the CADC for the F-14 Tomcat. Originally called the VIM-1 (Versatile Input Monitor), that name was later changed to SYM-1. The SYM-1 was a competitor to the popular MOS Technology KIM-1 system, with which it was compatible to a large extent. Compared to the KIM-1, enhancements included the ability to run on a single +5 volt power supply, an enhanced monitor ROM, three configurable ROM/EPROM sockets, RAM expandable on board to 4 KB, an RS-232 serial port, and a "high speed" (185 bytes/second, the KIM-1 supported about 8 bytes/second) audio cassette storage interface. It also featured on-board buffer circuits to ease interfacing to "high voltage or high current" devices. One rather distinctive capability of the SYM-1 was its ability to allow an oscilloscope to be added to provide a 32 character display under software control. As explained in Chapter 7 of the "SYM Reference Manual", the vertical input, ground and trigger input of the oscilloscope were to be connected to the "Scope Out" connector AA on the SYM-1 board. The "Oscilloscope Output Driver Software" code provided in this chapter of the manual was to be entered into the SYM-1's memory and executed to enable the oscilloscope display. This code provided control of the oscilloscope display, as well as a rudimentary character set. Resistors R42 and R45 were to be adjusted to refine the displayed image. Synertek sold ROMs which could be installed to add the BASIC programming language or a Resident Assembler/Editor (RAE). Synertek contracted with a company called Eastern House Software to port their Macro Assembler/Editor (MAE) into an 8 KB ROM. The author of MAE, RAE, and another version sold by Skyles Electric Works was Carl Moser. MAE was sold in various forms not only for the SYM-1 but also for other 6502-based computers including Commodore, Atari, KIM, and Apple. Other forms of MAE included a cross assembler for 6800 and 8085—and an offering of these cross assemblers was planned for RAE. One of the more subtle features of the SYM-1 was the use of a look up table in the low memory of the 6502. This provided a vectoring function in its operating system to redirect subroutine calls to various input and output drivers, including interrupt servicing. Users were able to develop their own interface routines, and substitute new vectors for the original vectors in the startup UV-EPROM. This seamlessly maintained the normal operation of the board's monitor and languages such as Synertek Systems BASIC. One of the later home/education computers that used this concept extensively was the BBC Micro produced by Acorn Computers in the UK. Some of the other computer designers of this era failed to grasp the significance of this elegant use of vectors to the software mapping of new developments in hardware.

Armand Boua (Ivorian, born 1978)Untitled, 2013 signed 'BOUA' (lower right)tar and acrylic on cardboard 95 x 82cm (37 3/8 x 32 5/16in).Footnotes: Provenance Acquired from the Jack Bell Gallery, London in 2014.Saatchi Collection.ExhibitedLondon, Saatchi Gallery, Pangea II: New Art from Africa and Latin America, 2015LiteratureSaatchi Gallery, Pangea II: New Art from Africa and Latin America, 2015, p.46Armand Boua lives and works in the Ivory Coast capital of Abidjan. A bustling, urban and industrial West African city, its children are at the heart of Boua's work. Street children are vulnerable to abduction, slave labour and sex trafficking. The dark undertones are nonetheless evident with materials such as torn card, scraped paint and tar. However once all these textures are merged together, they show children smiling and often playing sport. Creating a tension between their innocence and the danger that they face.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Gerard Sekoto (South African, 1913-1993)View of Paris, La Seine signed and dated 'G Sekoto/ 59' (lower right)oil on canvas 48.5 x 59.5cm (19 1/8 x 23 7/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceA private collection, France.When Sekoto first arrived in Paris in 1947, he was confronted by a bleak prospect. It was the depths of winter, and the artist spoke no French. After two weeks, he finally obtained a job playing the piano at a bar-restaurant on Rue du Sommerard. This source of income allowed him to enrol in drawing classes at the la Grande Chaumiere.The early years in Paris were a time of loneliness for the artist, homesick for the warmth of his birthplace. However, he gradually became accustomed to the French language and began to feel more at ease in the local bistros, where he would make quick sketches of the patrons. As his draftsmanship became more confident, he began to make drawings in the street.This view of the Seine is a wonderful example of one of the artist's plein air impressions. Although Sekoto still returned to South African themes and subjects, by 1959 he was increasingly acquainted with Parisian habits and the geography of the city. This oil sketch has a dreamy, tranquil beauty, that communicates the artist's greater inner peace.BibliographyB. Lindop, Gerard Sekoto, (Randburg, 1988), pp.26-36.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
