I've got a PDP-11/03 system (configured with RX01 controller,
RAM card, and serial terminal interface) available in Austin,
Texas (for sale). For local buyers, I've also got the VT102
terminal (complete with original owner's / programming manual)
and dual RX01-compatible 8" floppy drive unit as well (these
are too heavy/bulky to ship).
Pics of the system at http://www.pdp11.org/pics.
If interested, mail me at mrbill(a)mrbill.net to make an
offer or negotiate. I'm not trying to make a profit off
of this, just convert it into cash to help pay bills
this month (I'll pick up another system a couple months
>from now...)
I've also got a VAXstation 4000-VLC with 16mb available.
Bill
(BTW - Dave McG - your -11 cards are going out in the
mail this Friday)

Hey all,
Apologies if this is a repeat; I thought I sent this before, but never
saw it in the digest, nor any replies to it. Not sure if my e-mail
failed to get out the door here, or if one (or more?) digest failed to
make it into my mailbox, but the result is the same.
I'm looking for info on the following chip numbers.
(TI) SN2789N
(TI) SN2792N
(Fairchild?) 3005662
(Fairchild?) 3005663
(Fairchild?) 3005664
(Fairchild?) 3005665
(Fairchild?) 3005666
(Fairchild?) 3005668 (maybe another 3005666 - hard to read)
>From the age of the machine and the date codes on the chips (late 60's),
I expect these to be DTL or RTL or something. I also suspect that 2789
is the same as 3005663, and 2792 is the same as 3005668; some chips show
both markings.
Cheers,
Bill.
You're talking about Wind-Mill the replacement for Win98 that is supposed to
be the last consumer only version before the grand gathering of NT
"technology" and general public mass market distribution of DOS.
Remember grasshopper, there can be only one.
Or something like that

Hey guys,
I was wondering: Can you guys help me determine what kind of computer I
have here? I got this old system from a friend, without any documentation,
when I switch it on, all it does is give me a white screen, and it says:
Top of screen:
SYSTEM 886SX SAP VERSION: SAPPRO 10.10
Bottom of screen:
MWSS:XB99 LINK:02 LINE:01 R---- S ('S' is flashing) OFFLINE
Is this enough to identify it? It seems enough, but I have no idea what it
is. Nor how to use it. Secondly, if you know what it is, can you try to
tell me where I can get some info on how it works? Or a brief explanation?
Thanks in advance,
Lionel Pinkhard

Hi:
I don't know if anyone saw this on comp.sys.cbm, but it's an interesting
brochure. It's the auction notice brochure from 1994 for the Commodore
Semiconductor Group. I work for the asset-based financing division of the
sixth-largest bank in the US, and we've used Ross-Dove for our auctions and
liquidations. It's a nice brochure with detailed pictures.
Sad, none the less, but a great brochure.

Hello, all:
I've made some significant progress on adding a virtual paper tape
punch/reader to Claus Guiloi's Altair Emulator. There are several other
things that I need to work on, such as the "punching" part of the punch,
console I/O (a virtual terminal), and port I/O. Any other feature
suggestions are welcome. I've made contact with Claus and he has agreed,
time permitting, to review my code. I've spent much of the time learning
Windows/C programming, so it's not pretty, but it works.
There is also another individual at MS who worked on several other
additions to the emulator, but I haven't spoken with him yet. He's made some
other enhancements, particularly to the core emulation code.
What I'd like to do is to test the file loading/saving code with some live
code so that I can see it actually work. So, I'd like to ask the audience
for some sample Altair programs based on the following specs:
- the image files need to be in both Intel HEX and/or straight binary
format.
- program samples should include both front-panel and VDT oriented
programs.
- I'd like to get a range of application and system programs, including
BASIC and a monitor program.
- I'd like to get a range of file sizes and load locations, too.
That's all for now. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
Rich
