Interesting finds; 1801, National Semiconductor RM-665, Grid,HPs..

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

Hi All, Mike paid a visit from Jacksonville today and we had a llloonnggg day of digging for computer relics. Mike found a Grid laptop and a NIB Grid MODEM. I found a 1801A CPU! This is the predecessor to the COSMAC 1802. I never expected to see one of these. I also found a HP 45 calculator, a HP 9816 computer, a pair of HP 9121 disk drives and a National Semiconductor RM-665 computer. The NS computer uses MultiBus cards and has an Intel 80/20 CPU card with a 8080 CPU. It also has Analog Devices card with several D-A and A-D devices on it. I've never heard of a National Semiconductor computer before. Does anyone know anything about them? Mike also got a Motorola HDS-200 Hardware Developement system with the plug ins for a 6502 CPU. Does anyone have any information about these? Joe

Progress on NEC APC

by dastar＠siconic.com

Ok, so thanks to Don Maslin who sent me an NEC APC system disk and a bit of luck I have finally been able to boot my NEC APC. I believe the drive heads were dirty, but constant running of the disk in the drive finally scraped away enough grime to make it read (couldn't find an 8" head cleaning disk...must organize warehouse; drives are enclosed and I couldn't seem to extract them from the machine to clean with alcohol...oh well). I stuck the disks I'm trying to recover data from in the B: drive and did a DIR but they all come back with "NO FILE". Now of course this means that the disks contain no files but I'm thinking there has to be something wrong here. The system disk is CP/M-86. I still don't know what format the disks in question are but I assumed they were also CP/M-86. What could be amiss here, aside from the possibility that the disks ARE empty? What utilities are available to me on the system disk to view a raw dump of the target disks? I can't believe after all this effort that these damn disks contain nothing. As always, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and please reply directly to sellam(a)vintage.org. Thanks!

Hi, I picked up a graphics card when I was down in Germany last week. It contains several SMB-type connectors labeled as follows: EX - What is this? VS - Vertical Sync CS - Composite (or Horizontal) Sync R - Red G - Green B - Blue What is EX?? I was planning on using the BNC-to-VGA connector which has 5 BNC connectors for VS, CS, R, G, and B but I dont know what the EX is used for... Ram

Somewhat OT: Then & Now.

by netsurfer_x1＠hotmail.com

This is something that I had posted on the comp.sys.cbm newsgroup that I thought would be intresting to see how much the computer world has (or hasn't) changed starting right around 1980 or so. So if you've seen this before, I apologize. Anyway, here are some things that have changed (or have they?) in the computer world: Back then we had: Daisychained peripherals to the Commodore IEC serial bus. Now we have: Daisychained peripherals to the Universal Serial Bus. Back then we had: The Original Macintosh. Now we have: The iMac. Back then we had: Computers with a built-in RF modulator. Now we have: Video cards with a built-in RF modluator. Back then we had: The Original Macintosh II. Now we have: The G3/G4 PowerMac. Back then we had: The Commodore 1581 head-knocking/Click of Death problem. Now we have: The Iomega Zip drives' Click of Death problem. Back then we had: The Macintosh Portable. Now we have: The iMac. Back then we had: The Tandy Model 100. Now we have: The PalmPilot. This is all that I could think of, I want anybody who can think of anything that hasn't changed to add something on this list. Let's show people that the old phrase "The more things change, the more things stay the same" is true! ____________________________________________________________ David Vohs, Digital Archaeologist & Computer Historian.
