Other useful test equipment (was: RE: Scope use...)

by xds_sigma7＠hotmail.com

My logic analyzer is a nice HP1615A, circa 1978, 8080-based... It was free >from this guy I bought all kinds of DEC crud from (he happened to have designed the I/O read/write board for the RA90 among other things, but thats a diff story). I had paid him for the DEC stuff, and then he said "Hey, do you want this?" so I said "Wow, cool!" and voila, free logic analyzer.. I think I even have the pods for DSPs.. weird.

HP Logic Analyzer that appeared to be an embedded Macintosh; I never opened it up to make that determination, though, as it was on lease. Are these the vintage of units that are being dumped? -dq

Logitech Modula 2 Compiler

by dhquebbeman＠theestopinalgroup.com

I had forgotten that when I first heard of the company Logitech, it was from a flyer for their Modula 2 compiler. The brochure has a 1984 postmark, so timewise it qualifies for discussion here, but OTOH it's software, not a computer. Anyway, does anyone know of a part of Logitech still considers itself a software firm? That is, are they still selling this compiler? Or might they be willing to donate it to the growing list of abandonware? I've been in touch with Teresa Knezek recently, and unless someone else knows its already available or if she's already working on trying to get it masde available, then I think I'll drop her a line next week to see what she can do. Did anyone ever use this compiler? How was the code generation? How fast was it? -doug quebbeman

Maybe a couple of years down the line I'll be able to tackle something like that, but for now the easiest way is to get another drive for $5 from another list member! Should be with me in just over a week. cheers

Mac floppy

by agraham＠ccat.co.uk

I know I *could* use that drive, but I'm going for authenticity; plus I really want to fix the Classic and not cannibalise it. cheers! > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric Smith [mailto:eric@brouhaha.com] > Sent: 20 July 2000 19:34 > To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org > Subject: Re: Mac floppy > > > > I was considering using the floppy drive from my bust Classic till I > > discovered that it uses a SuperDrive..... > > I'm pretty sure I've used Apple FDHD/SuperDrive mechanisms in place of > 800K drives in the past.
