If one cannot calculate that then you need to restrict you self to the

14500 ICU. ;)

That was 1984. The drive was disposed of _long_ ago. I did look at the
heads - There was more than a little oxide on the upper head; it looked
like a rusty rasp had been drawn across it.
I destroyed a 12-sector f pack. I still have the 16-sector pack that came
with the drive when that company bought it (but they used PDP-11s, not PDP-8s,
so it sat on a shelf the entire time they owned the unit). I never have been
able to see what's on this pack; the only 16-sector pack I own (I don't have
an RK8E, just an RK11C and RKV11D).
Mostly, I've used RL01/RL02 drives on OMNIBUS/Unibus/Qbus machines that didn't
have an MSCP controller. Never had an RL drive die on me. Got plenty of spare
parts when it eventually does happen.

How'd you get 32Mb of memory in an 11/03? :-)
Still... nice setup. I wish I had a working RK05f... I have a couple of
RK05j drives (I ruined the only 'f' I ever saw as a teenager - I didn't
know what I was doing and I moved the fixed pack when the drive was still
turning. :-P I still have the platter as a reminder.)
Speaking of RK05 drives, is there still a source for absolute filters?

Now comes the questions, I don't know the commands for CPM does anyone know
of a good intro to ccp? I'm hoping to get a book on CP/M soon. In the mean
I've backed up the roms and I'm about to investigate upgrading to ZsDOS
(or something similar). I'm hoping the ATR8000 will be able to access the
Atari 800 drives, that way I can hook it up to my Linux box and it can act
as a large floppy drive. I know it confusing but it really does work.

The Digital Antic Project (http://www.atarimagazines.com) is proud to
announce that the full text of every issue of Antic Magazine is now
available on the Web. Devoted to the Atari 8-bit and ST computers, Antic
magazine published 88 issues from April 1982 through July 1990.
This site launched with two issues on July 27, 1996. More than four years
later, the project's volunteers uploaded the final issue. The site includes
1,700 articles, 2,400 images, and 1,600 downloadable program files, using
more than 100 MB of disk space. More than 30 volunteers have contributed
time to the project.
Although the Digital Antic Project has reached an important milestone, the
effort is far from over. The volunteers have already begun digitizing two
more magazines published by Antic Publishing: STart, which focuses on Atari
ST computers; and Antic Amiga Plus, which focuses on the Amiga platform.
(People interested in donating time or magazines to the cause are encouraged
to send e-mail to savetz(a)northcoast.com.)

* Anyway, I am currently looking for an unbuilt computer kit or plans. S100

If expandability isn't a prime goal (and this may be the case seeing, as
you don't care about the bus) you might try playing with one of the
microcontrollers on the market. A prime example would be one of the low-end
PIC's, which are *very* available and *very* cheap. Do a web search for
"16C84" or "16F84" for one of the most accessible and fun chips available.
If you're worried about the PIC series being "non-classic", don't :-). The PIC
architecture has been around for at least 20 years in many variations, and it's
one of the few available "Harvard Architecture" chips (i.e. memory space
separate from data space, a truly "classic" architecture) I can think of in
current production.
Tim.
OK,
I will love anyone forever who can find me a VAX 9000 (model 440 for
preference, nothing like 157 VUPS), or better still, a VAX 10000. Hell, even
a BI system would be nice...

Your dreaming. An unbuilt s100 kits is worth $$$$. However, z80s and
all the goodies are readily available are are 6800 and 6502 (JDR
Microdevices).
Not having a preference is not a good thing I'd say as each cpu is
somewhat
different and some people do like one over another.
