its just a 15 pin straight wired cable. i think dalco.com carries the cable,
but since an IBM joystick extender cable seems to be the same thing, wouldnt
that work?

Someone writing an article for Playboy magazine wants to interview
someone from Holland and India (specifically mentioned cities:
Amsterdam and Bangalore) about their local computer culture. Please e-
mail me directly <sellam(a)vintage.org> if you perhaps want to be
interviewed.
Also, she would like information about the different locations around the
world trying to model their local high tech economy around the Silicon
Valley, and calling themselves "Silicon <something>", ie. Silicon
Corridor, Silicon Gulch, etc. If your local high tech community is
referred
to as the "Silicon <whatever>" and you can talk a bit about it then please
contact me <sellam(a)vintage.org> and I'll pass your info along to her.
Thanks!

It's been a long time since I used my Apple II with CP/M, but I'll give you the
dubious benefit of my decaying knowledge of the subject.
First, I don't see anything obviously wrong with what you're doing to try to run
the basic program. I don't remember the exact syntax, but I assume that you've
got that correct from the MBasic book.
As far as the ASM files are concerned, you should be able to use your EDIT
program, which should be on your CP/M boot disk to look at the files in a
somewhat more leisurely manner that allowed by using TYPE. For that matter, any
editor that you may have that can display ASCII files (Wordstar in the
"non-document" mode, for example) can be used to examine the files. I don't
know what assembler you have with the Apple CP/M disks, but you should have at
least ASM, the 8080 assembler, and perhaps M80 as well. I'm not an assembly
language programmer, but if you can find an old reference on assembly language
programming under CP/M, it should tell you the steps necessary to compile, link
(to libraries), and run the programs. You may even already have the executable
files ready to run. Look on the disk for a file with the same name as for the
ASM files, but with a .com extension.
I hope this helps get you started.

Subject: Opening CP/M files (.asm/.bas)
I have an Apple II with a Z80 card, and lots of CP/M disks for it but I'm
having a problem opening the .ASM and .BAS files. I thumbed through a book
on both Mbasic and CP/M but neither of these books clearly describe how to
work with these files.
The Mbasic books says to open Mbasic, and at the "OK" prompt type RUN
"B:MAINT.BAS" (for example)but when I do that, it gives me a "Direct
Statement in file" message, and then it goes back to the "OK" prompt.
I don't have a clue how to work with the .ASM files -like SUPRTRK3.ASM or
BLKFRI2.ASM. I can see that they are games by typing TYPE SUPRTRK3.ASM but
the text flies by so fast that I can't see much else.
I have a lot of disks that have nothing but .BAS and .ASM files so any help
that you can give me would be appreciated.
Also, I have one disk that has a single large file called PILOTA.LST. What
do I do with that?
Thanks for your help.

I've managed to get the PDP-8 emulator running on one of my
computers (the Sun box at school here took it with no problem;
my Linux box at home is still not dealing with the keyboard
correctly....).
One program I loaded was Focal.
However, I don't know beans about Focal, other than that I know
it is an interpretive language of some sort developed by DEC.
Is there a scanned Focal manual online anywhere?
Thanks. Cheers, Kevin Anderson

Hi all
I scrounged a Mountain Computer Inc A/D + D/A card, Apple ][
form factor. No manual, no software :-(
Preliminary inspection: R8, R11, R15 and R22 are missing (I assume
these are 10T pots). Also U1, U5, U6.
So, tell me more... what can I do with this card (1 channel
in and 1 channel out)? Frequency? What software do I need?
What are the missing chips, and resistor values?
Hey, and while I'm axing questions :-) Anybody out there with
Elektor for Feb 89? I have a set of PCBs that claim to be
a MOSFET amp, EPS87096, not a computer but within the 10 year
rule :-)
Seeya all

Yep, starting 'real soon now' the list will be sent in Word 2000 format.
Better upgrade!
I myself have been busy hopping up my Commodore 64 BBS with a 14.4k

I found these 3 disks in my storage area. I haven't a clue as to where they
came from. They are in a plastic DIGITAL diskette storage case and appear
to have never been used. The first $5.00 takes them, shipping included.
Please email me off list if you are interested. I'll post to the list when
they are spoken for. Also, if I don't reply to your email message, it means
someone got there ahead of you and they've already been nabbed.
I'm totally VAX ignorant, so I'm just going to list what's on the diskette

List,
There is an IBM 3725 available in Champaign/Urbana Illinois at a local
scrapper.
It is large, blue, and runs on three phase (as far as I could tell).
Please let me know if anyone is interested in saving it. No docs, no
media, no nothing... Just a large heavy blue computer. I certainly have
neither the space nor the juice to house this beast.
I'm also quite interested in what it is.
Thanks for your replies, and please email if you have an interest in
the system.

If not that it would be fun to take a handful wire them up to something
trivial but operational, say a counter or pseudo random number generator.

I have a lot of M (Maroon) flip chips, with IC's on them. I have a fair
number of G (Green) flip chips with transistor logic, and I have only
a few of the types you mention below:
R002 Diode Cluster 2 flip chips
R107 Inverter 2 flip chips
R111 Diode Gate 2 flip chips
R602 Pulse Amp 2 flip chips
B134 Diode Gate 4 flip chips
B152 ? 2 flip chips
B683 50 Ohm Or Bus Driver 6 flip chips
