I'm not sure it is available. Anyone comment? The DECUS PDP-8 Focal sources (in PAL10) are available. FOCAL.PA begins with: /**** FOCAL 5/69 **** /E.A.TAFT - REVISION OF FOCALW 8/68 /EAT/ 25-JUL-72 /ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS FOR DECUS VERSION: /INPUT FILES: / FOCAL.569 FOCAL LANGUAGE PROCESSOR / FLOAT.569 FLOATING POINT PACKAGE / EXTEND.569 EXTENDED FUNCTION PACKAGE / 2USER.569 2-USER OVERLAY What I have is in the "nickel" PDP-8 DECTAPE archive rescued by me from the University of Indiana several years ago. The Focal stuff, in particular, is on the web at: http://www.trailing-edge.com/~shoppa/focal/ If you were asking about FOCAL-10 (for a PDP-10), this is available on the web as well, from the home to all good software that's PDP-10 related: http://pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/www/lib10/0462/ If you want the PDP-11 (specifically, for RT-11) sources, you can find this at the Metalab.unc.edu PDP-11 archives as DECUS entry 11-0447. Go to http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/ then go into the RT-11 archives, pick the "decus11" directory, and you'll see three 110477 directories (d1, d2, and d3), one for each original floppy. I also have much RSX and DOS-11 FOCAL stuff that's not indexed yet. I hope this helps. If none of these packages meets your needs, you might ask again for your specific platform(s).

WD1770 help needed

I'd be surprised if so. I thought all Commodore micros apart from their ill-fated PCs used GCR. There are plenty of list members who know much more about C= stuff than I do, though... Atari STs used the 1772, so that's another potential source. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Dept. of Computer Science University of York

Focal

by dylanb＠sympatico.ca

When requesting original DEC source code one must include flavor (12 bit, 16bit, 18bit, 36 bit) and vintage (Focal-1968, Focal-1969, Focal-1970, Focal 1.0b, etc), and style (preliminary, beta, released). I received a huge amount of original commented FOCAL source code/OP system source code in many different formats [paper tapes, dectapes, floppies, rk05 packs, etc..] from the DEC load. I hope to put the code online this year but....what do you need? john PDP-8 and other rare mini computers http://www.pdp8.com -----Original Message----- From: Kevin McQuiggin <mcquiggi(a)sfu.ca> To: Jon Andrews <Jon.Andrews(a)jaywalk.co.uk> Cc: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org <classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org> Date: Thursday, February 03, 2000 10:35 PM Subject: Re: Focal >Hi Jon: > >I don't have the FOCAL source.

Hi Jon: I don't have the FOCAL source. I'm not sure it is available. Anyone comment?

regarding the reply address on the list....

by mbg＠world.std.com

>NOBODY had any serious difficulty using the old system. That is an assumption on your part... it just so happens that some of us did have problems with the old system. It seems that maybe we just didn't complain about it enough... :-) >SOME people have some difficulty with the new system. Parity... In fact, for this 'response', I decided to simply make it a new 'send' to the list, so the original author won't get a second copy of this message... this is easier for me than to have to search for and then cut-and-paste the address of the author if I want to send just to them... after all, the list is at a fixed address (for now). After all that, however, I'm going to withdraw my vote for the new system, I'll abstain. I'll get by with whatever is available (so long as it isn't the HTML-cr*p)... I do like Sellam's argument about information lost due to doing a reply and having it go only to the author and not the list.

Identification of EPROM Programming board - AIM or KIM or ???

by whdawson＠mlynk.com

To All, I just obtained a board which I think is an EPROM programming board for the AIM or KIM or ???, and I'm trying to find some information on it. It is not an RM65 board, the connector looks like it would plug right to an AIM. Here is a description: Measures 4-7/16 (4.4375)inches wide by 6-1/2 (6.5) inches long, including edge connector, lengthwise insertion. 44 pin gold plated edge connector with a 44 pin socket mounted immediately behind and parallel to the edge connector, on the component side of the PCB. 24 pin ZIF connector in the upper LH corner, viewing with the edge connector facing me (all descriptions below assume this position). 10 position DIP switch immediately to the right of the ZIF socket (no labeling), and another 10 position dip switch about halfway up the RHS, labeled 1 to 7 and B, C, D (probably address selection since one row of pins is all tied common and most of the pins on the other side of it go to a 74LS154). One LED, immediately to the right of the first 10 position DIP switch mentioned above, at the edge of the board. Two trimpots about center of the far edge of the board, to the right of the LED. Two jumper blocks, one with 2 pins, labeled W1, and one with 3 pins, labeled RO and RA. Two Toshiba 24 pin TMM2016P-1 RAMs left of center in second row of DIPs on the board. One 2516-45 EPROM to the left of the RAMS, with a label on top "6517A". On the solder side the only markings (in etch) are CUBIT INC, 1981 and the numbers 10362 and 6583. Most of the date codes on the ICs are between 8037 and 8203. There is no other model number, manufacturer, or other ID marking on this board. If anyone has any information on this board, please let me know (through the list). Thanks all, Bill whdawson(a)mlynk.com

To anybody & everybody who needs to rebuild their Macintosh Portable batteries.

by netsurfer_x1＠hotmail.com

Great news! If there is anybody looking for replacement cells for their Macintosh Portable batteries, go to this site: http://www.hepi.com/ look for 2V 5.0Ah "Cyclon" size "X" cells They don't mention prices on the site, however, so buyer beware. Also, I don't want to get 20 e-mails saying that I led you to a company that ripped you off. I cannot, & will not, be held accountable for your actions! ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
