Original Sanyo Easywriter ver 1.3 disk Original Sanyo disk box with 550 dos ver 2.11 and BASIC 1.25, two original Sanyo disk for InfoStar (set B disk 2 and 3 of 4; disks 1 and 4 are below), original Sanyo disk for DOS 1.25 and BASIC ver 1.1 Original Sanyo disk box with all three original disk of set A, WordStar and CalcStar and a backup copy of DS-DOS. Two card board dummy disks used to protect the floppy drives duing shipment. Joe > >A few weeks ago we were talking about the Sanyo 550 series and someone mentioned one of the alternates operating systems that supported 80 track drives in the 550. I said that was DS-DOS by Michtron. > > Today I found an old Sanyo disk package with four disks for the 550. One of them is DS DOS 2.11, one is InfoStar, one is MailMerge/SpellStar and the other is a disk of misc utilities. The first three are original disks. In additon, the InfoStar, MailMerge/SpellStar are Sanyo labeled disks that came with the 550. If anyone wants them, trade me something I can use and they're all your's. > > Joe

Info on the Dynalogic Hyperion

by lbutzel＠home.com

Looking for info on the Dynalogic Hyperion, a "portable" DOS machine manufactures around 1983. At least the one I have is 1983. it was designed and initially built in Ottawa, Canada. Hyperion was acquired in about 1983 by Bytec, who was later bought by I think a Quebec company called Comterm. Anyway, mine has stopped working: The machine still boots but no image is displayed on its 7" diag screen. Hence I am looking for service info and/or persons who have worked on the machine. Any leads would be most appreciated. Leo Butzel Seattle, WA lbutzel(a)home.com

Searching for PS/2-E (9533-DB7) reference diskette

by ethan_dicks＠yahoo.com

I know it's not _quite_ 10 years old, but it's getting there. The principle of attraction has worked and my IBM quad-PCMCIA card has attracted a couple of hosts - a PS/2-E that it originally came out of. I have been to the IBM support site - no concrete references to the PS-2/E. I have located reference diskettes for all sorts of IBM-brand products, but not the 9533. It's distinguishing features include a low-power design with one ISA slot for this quad-PCMCIA card to minimize peripheral draw. Additionally, it uses a 2.5" laptop disk (120Mb) and only has one serial port. As shipped from IBM, there was an LCD panel for a monitor, but I've never seen that part in person, only in old ads. Does anyone have a disk image they can ship me, or a pointer to an image somewhere? I'm thinking of turning this into a router box. I have the PCMCIA NICs to do it with.

Dayton Hamvention?

by ethan_dicks＠yahoo.com

I had meant to put this up earlier this month, but better late than never. Is anyone here planning on being at the Dayton Hamvention? It is this weekend (I'll be there Friday at 08:00 if I can help it). If yes, please write me off-line and maybe we can make arrangements to have a classiccmp get-together. My memories of this question from last year was a collective and deafening "No". -ethan ===== Even though my old e-mail address is no longer going to vanish, please note my new public address: erd(a)iname.com The original webpage address is still going away.

Looking for....

by LFessen106＠aol.com

can anyone tell me where I might be able to find 1(one) ADM 5 or ADM 3 text terminal? Always wanted one, but they're hard to find and I would rather not pay the exorbident prices on ebay for one. Also, has anyone here had any luck hooking one of them up to a unix/linux box?

OSI model 600 find

by dcoward＠pressstart.com

It's been a while since I have picked-up any _digital_ computers, but I just could not resist this. I found someone selling a Ohio Scientific Model 600 on eBay, and when I went to check was it sold for, I discovered that no one wanted to bid the $20 minimum bid. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=37585 7886 So I asked for a picture of the computer to make sure it wasn't just a baggie full of spare parts. http://www.best.com/~dcoward/osi600.jpg I paid for it and it arrived today. There seems to be only one empty dip socket that looks like it should not be empty. It looks like the key caps for the numbers were removed on purpose. Without taking it apart, I can see one ROM labeled "BASIC 3", and two EPROMS labeled "BASIC 4 modified 12/21/81" and "SYN 600 MOD". I found one web site that also calls this a SuperBoard II. The main board says: "Ohio Scientific Model 600 CPU @1978 Rev B" The large daughter board says: "@1980 AARDVARK". And it contains a MC6821 PIA. The small daughter board contains three 2716s labeled "REV 94 I", "REV 94 II", and "REV 94 III". All in all it looks to be in very good condition, but powering this up is going to have to wait. My wife wants my current projects off the dinner table and the analog flight simulator and the paper tape punches out of the dining room. --Doug =================================================== Doug Coward dcoward(a)pressstart.com (work) Sr Software Engineer mranalog(a)home.com (home) Press Start Inc. http://www.pressstart.com Sunnyvale,CA Visit the new Analog Computer Museum and History Center at http://www.best.com/~dcoward/analog ===================================================
