Wanted: Z80 S-100 SBC or Z80 S-100 Slave cards

by dragon＠panix.com

I am primarily looking for some several Z80 S-100 slave cards. Compupro use to sell Z80 slave s100 cards with 64K or 256K of ram and serial port and parallel port. I also understand a one time some use to make S-100 SBC that met all the S-100 spec. So they could run as Temporary Bus Masters (TBM). Thus enabling someone to put up to 16 of them on the same S-100 bus. If you have a few either type you want to sell, e-mail me Michael

S100 boards

by edick＠idcomm.com

I don't know that this will settle anything for anyone, but I saw an old ad for the DJ2 just a day or so ago in an old mag and it certainly didn't have any HDD port. It was an FDC. I have a board from Industrial Microsystems which has a SASI port on it. I even have an old 8" HDD which should talk to it. I've never tried them, though.

OT - Declaser 1152

by jim＠calico.litterbox.com

Okay, it's not quite a classic since it's only 7 years old, but does anyone know whether the simms inside a declaser 1152 are standard 30 pin mac simms or if they're something wierd? I desperately need to upgrade my old declaser - it keeps running out of ram printing things and Kinkos wants $.49 US per page to print things to their very fast and powerful IBM printer. Alternately does anyone out there happen to have the 2 meg expansion (part number LN07X-UF) for the thing? -- Jim Strickland jim(a)DIESPAMMERSCUMcalico.litterbox.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vote Meadocrat!

HP TSB, Docs and O/S

by jlwest＠tseinc.com

So - you're sure you don't want to just give that machine up? <grin>... Just out of curiosity, what modem of disk drive is it? I'll have some docs somewhere for that stuff soon enough. I know I already have all the docs on the tape reader...

Need help on old Tandy stuff -- Allison? Anyone else?

Uncle Roger >> knows more about all of the different Kyocera clones. >I didn't know about the Kyocera connection, however. Interesting.... Tandy may have *made* the m100; Kyocera *designed* it. I think Tandy redesigned it (tweaked it) into the 102; they probably did the design (based on the original Kyocera design) of the 200. FYI, there are 9 versions of Kyocera's design: Kyocera KC-85 TRS-80 Model 100 TRS-80 Model 102 (mostly the same as the 100, only lighter and cheaper) TRS-80 Model 200 (clamshell, with larger screen) NEC PC-8201 (Japanese version, with Katakana? charset in ROM) NEC PC-8201A (American version) NEC PC-8300 Olivetti M10 (American version) Olivetti M10 (Euro version) Not related, but possibly mistaken as such: TRS-80 Model 600 NEC PC-8401A "Starlet" NEC PC-8500 Olivetti M15 I don't know if Kyocera ever came out with anything after the KC85. --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."

Are there any Telex fans out there?

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

I got a bunch of old disks yesterday. So far I've found some in the CPM 86 format for the PC, Telex CPM format, CPM for the Osbourne 1, 8" soft sectored disks for unknown system and one hard sectored 8" floppy. It looks like many of them came from Telex's office in North Carolina. Many of them look like reports of test on different models of equipment, equipment specifications, etc. A couple look like they have ROM code and different revisions of system software. I need some one that's familar with Telex's products that can tell me what some of these things are. Joe
