Whoa, I'm more than a little stunned, of course it was only a matter of
time. It looks like someone has been working on a VAX emulator, also
sounds like he might be interested in some help. Apparently it won't boot
VMS :^( but it will run some assembler programs. It's Mac only, but since
it's a Codewarrior project written using SIOUX it should be portable to
UNIX.

How long did HBCC go? I have Volume 2, No 1 with Bill G's open letter and
many after. Maybe The Vol. 2 No 1 will fetch a good price to go with some
microsoft employee's Altair :-). Am sure I have some earlier ones (1975)
someplace???
Speaking of "Single instance" things, what about documentation? (Not too
much with commercial HW yet..) I have the 4 issues of the Scelbi newsletter,
looks like they were printed on an asr 33, like a lot of their stuff. Also
have now the 10 issues of "Computer Hobbyist". Anyone have any of the
"Amateur Computer Society" newsletters?

Are you folks in the UK aware of the BCS Computer Conservation Society?
http://www.galactic.co.uk/iainf/ccs.html
It seems like they have some good vintage computer activies going on
there.

No, that would have been too easy. The name on it is "Advanced
Interconnect", there are a couple of numbers on it "6247661-P001" and
"PAM3W3P 9032".

Doesn't that mean that, in theory at least, all FM radios would have to be
approved if you wanted to listen to a talkback radio programme where people
called in via the phone? Surely that would mean your FM radio was
(indirectly) connected to the phone system.
I would have thought it would also mean that your computer would have to be
approved if it were "indirectly" connected to the phone system via a modem.
Or is the legislation worded carefully enough to avoid this?

That's a brain-fart. It should have said 3B2.

Sounds like my 6300s.

Eclipse, as it was supposed to overshadow the VAX and was consistant with
earlier celestial naming (Nova).
