No need (or sense) to compile for an -11 as it is a PDP-11!
On the oft side compiling something big like that is still possible on
an -11, but your going to have to do it in peices and link them
afterwards.

You might compile, but it won't work - it's hard to map more than 64 kbytes
at a time on a -11, and Bob Supnik's emulator assumes that there are
no such silly limitations.
Converting DECUS C to split I&D might get you a bit closer to 64 kbytes,
but it still won't agree with Bob's emulator.

Not just directions for building on VMS... there should be a set of .COM
files which do it for you.
BTW - Did the makefile I wrote ever make it into the distributed emulator
kit?

^^^^^
I don't think the voltage will be a problem, but the amperage looks a
little low on that supply.
Atari supplied power supplies rated between 1.7A and a whopping 5.6A for
the 400.
The AC VIC-20 power supply I have is rated at 3A.
I don't know what the actual requirements of the systems are, but I'd be a
little wary of using a 780mA power supply.

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. I HAD read what the amperage should be, but I guess I had a brain cramp when I ordered that 780mA job. Maybe I couldn't resist the price -- $2.50 from American Science and Surplus.
Just ordered the right ones this afternoon, one from somebody on the list and one from a guy in Minnesota (no, not the jerk that withheld the specs from me, another guy). Thanks for correcting me. :)

Hello. I'm looking for one of the OLD CD-Rom's that are sometimes pictured
with old IBM's in TAB books. They are the old, big (well, wide) external
drives that were in a case about 12-18" wide, and about 3-4" high. I'm not
sure if they were manufactured by IBM or not. I need it for my 5170 AT.
I'm also looking for an original IBM 5170 AT keyboard.
ThAnX in advance,

None of those were meant for the list. My manners aren't as bad as
they seem to be :)

It's dated 1986. Be warned that it has no drivers. I pluged the
controller in today, and it does seem to do something, but DOS can't
find it by itself. Where are you located? This is quite large. I would
give it to you for the price of shipping and certain items which we
can discuss (I am in Boston). I wonder if I would find the Mitsumi
that you have useful for my laptop...

The one for $2500 says the reserve has not been met!!! At that price, maybe MITS
should start up again!
The Imsai is $305 right now, for the person looking for one.
