I think you had to have the Integer Basic (?) card for it to work. I copied the system onto single-sided verbatim floppies that I'd punched to use as "flippies"... the school wasn't hip to copying software, at least not in '83. -dq

tms9914 ieee488 controller

by kapteynr＠cboe.com

These are still used all of the time in many places (mostly as in interface to scientific lab equipment). It should not be too difficult to get a compatible replacement, maybe not an identical replacement. check: www.nationalinstruments.com -----Original Message----- From: emanuel stiebler [SMTP:emu@ecubics.com] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2000 10:09 AM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: tms9914 ieee488 controller Hi all, anybody here knows, if there is any replacement for this texas ieee488 controller, and is still in production ? Thanks, emanuel

Hmm.... my versions show the menu as something like G(et, S(ave, N(ew, L(dir, R(en, C(hng, T(rans, D(ate, Q(uit but there are more options on an 80-column screen. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager Dept. of Computer Science University of York

True only 26/28Kw accessable due to the IOpage. You know of course thats the case in most any non mapped PDP-11. Allison

The compiler was invoked from the READY prompt by typing "PASCAL FILNAM.PAS", and you'd get the runnable output file; I don't remember if it was in .SAV format or not. Dang it. I wish I could remember more about the system we had at the school at that time . . .. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

If your set on using RX50s then the question is... IS UCSD Psystem MSCP device aware? Allison

Why is it that ...

From: healyzh(a)aracnet.com <healyzh(a)aracnet.com> >One of these days I'd really like to play with a UCSD PASCAL system, largely >to get a feel of how well it worked. UCSD P-system was tightly integrated with menues and what amounts the then equivelent of an modern IDE. From the main system menu you go fo into the filer or editor, from the editor you could compile and run a program. If the compiler fails you end up back in the editor (screen oriented) with the cursor at the first error. In 1978 that was a truely advanced development environment. >active with Amiga's around, they'd have a better idea).

I used PASCAL (for a short time) when I was in school, that ran under RSTS/E. I don't know if it was the USCD system, or some other thing; I'm almost certain it used pseudo-code, though, as the compiler output was *tiny* compared to a similar compiled BASIC+ program. Anybody know of PASCAL compilers that run under RSTS? Jeff ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
