I have a couple of old WD hard drives I'm trying to revitalize. They say they have no partitions, but when I try to lay in a partition, they say there's no room. Would a LLF take care of this (vide recent discussion)? Thanks manney

E-Over Pay strikes again! original Altair disk sells for

by dougdu＠MICROSOFT.com

True enough I'm sure. MITS also produced a "mini"-floppy controller that was also a two board TTL set. The first board (computer interface) was the same board as in the 8" set (except for different RC values), the second board was completely different. I have the MITS docs for the "mini"-floppy system and it is documented as a hard sectored using 16 sectors per track. I also have an Altair Mini-Floppy BASIC disk and it is also hard sectored with 16 sector holes. - Doug > -----Original Message----- > No. The original disk for the altair before they became > Pertec Computers > was an 8" system using two boards of TTL.

Swap PDP-8/L for IBM 5100?

by Anthony.Eros＠digital.com

I've got a PDP-8/L available for swap. I thought about putting it up on eBay with a $100k reserve but decided that would be overkill :-) Would anyone with an IBM 5100 (switch-selectable BASIC/APL variant) be interested in a swap? -- Tony Eros Computer History Association of Delaware

Can't comment on that. It's packed away tight somewhere. I do remember the "Canonical List of Commodore Machines" making a distinction with some DCR's. Les
