DaynaFile 2

Hi, On Mon, 27 Nov 2000 Louis Schulman wrote: > Does someone know the voltage of the external power supply > (mine is missing); My Daynafile has two 5.25" drives, 360K and 1.2MB. Its power supply uses a 5-pin DIN connector. Output is rated at +5V 2.0A, +12V 0.5A, -12V 0.5A. (I can't imagine the -12V is used.) My unit is probably not a Daynafile II though; apparently the II used a different type of power supply. > Does someone have the software.

The hqx extension indicates that the files have been encoded using BinHex.

Moonraker MAC card & car full of MAC stuff -- help me identify....

by kapteynr＠cboe.com

Maybe you already know this, but the special video card might not be necessary. I have a Radius Pivot monitor too, which I use on the regular video output of my PowerMac 6100. There are different kinds of Pivots, but with mine you just need to know a little trick -- boot the computer with the monitor in the horizontal position and the computer will identify its resolution correctly. After the computer is booted, you can rotate it vertical. There is a software extension that make this unnecessary, but I lost it and haven't had time to find it again. -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Jim Strickland [SMTP:jim@calico.litterbox.com] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2000 7:28 PM To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Moonraker MAC card & car full of MAC stuff -- help me identify....

Moonraker MAC card & car full of MAC stuff -- help me identify....

by claudew＠sprint.ca

Hi I got a "all you can fill your car full of MAC stuff for $20" from a MAC shop that closed and had to vacate premises... Several cards I cant identify. I am no mac expert. Who can volunteer to receive some pics of some of these to help me sort these out? Anyway....Picked up several compact MACs (12), some original 128/512 keyboards, lot of Supermac video cards, IIsi, some non 10 year old stuff (quadras etc...), network cards for compact macs (?)etc...could of taken more, got tired and basement just so big...lots ethernet cards for II series macs (bnc)...some cards i have no idea (well a bit but...) what they do... An interesting one in there is a Moonraker card (1989-1990) seems to be nu bus card for video capture -- curious to get more info on this one...I think it was made by a company called WTI or something...anybody know more about this one or wheer I can get the software perhaps for it...? I looked around a bit on net but found close to nothing... Thanks for reading Claude

Why is it that ...

by ajp166＠bellatlantic.net

From: Tony Duell <ard(a)p850ug1.demon.co.uk> >There was certainly a PDP11 version. And I remember reading about a I know, the first time I'd seen it was early '78 on a Heath H-11. It convinced me to get the NS* configured version (not cpm based) as it was cheap. In 1978 what UCSD got me... I had NS DOS and their BASIC, no compiler, no asembler. I has CP/M 1.4 with all the 8080 tools and 8k MSbasic, still no HLL UCSD got me a compiled language that was vogue and a real screen based editor that beat the tar out of CP/Ms ED. By 1978 standards 50US dollars was cheap for UCSD and far cheaper than CP/M or even the MSbasic for CP/M. Allison

I have a KS10 now...

by DSEAGRAV＠toad.xkl.com

Serial number appears to be 4469. I got it from John Wilson, moved it 1000 miles to home. It looks too heavy to drag up the stairs so chances are really good it'll stay in the (heated) garage. We also got a TU45 and a spare formatter for it. (Question, can I just plug any Pertec Unformatted 1600/800 drive into that and make it work, or only special Pertec devices?) Current status of the machine is unknown - It's never been powered on. We'll be cleaning it up, taking lots of pictures, and checking things out before it gets powered on. But that should be sometime soon. In any case, I'll have pictures posted before the week's out. And now, I'm going to do a jig and generally behave like a child until the high wears off :) More information to come. -------

RX02 drive emulation

I scanned the RX02 technical manual and it is now online http://www.pdp8.net/pdp8cgi/query_docs/view.pl?table=pdp8docs&id=139 It looks like they added some stuff such as DMA and AC low status for the 11 but when in the RX28 PDP-8 mode it still uses the same electrical interface as the RX01. The RX02 drive has 3 different modes it can operate in via a switch setting. It appears that the RX8E does not know if it is talking to a RX01 or RX02, only the software running on the PDP-8 knows. From a programming standpoint you have to write to the command register differently in RX02 mode even when single density media is used. I could still be missing something. This is probably the easiest mode to talk to the drive in from bit banging on a PC. David Gesswein

UCSD PASCAL (P-system) P-code Was:(Why is it that ...)

True, but the UCSD p-System isn't a language, it's an operating system, with its own device drivers. It doesn't run under RT-11, just happens to have similar minimum requirements. As far as I know, it doesn't have a driver for RX50/MSCP. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager Dept. of Computer Science University of York
