Ebay says they are not the content provider, so they cannot claim that the
item description and closing price are their property.

I liked IIT FPU's. Long before MMX, they had things like 4x4
matrix multiply instructions (for implementation of 3D homogeneous
transforms, rotation/scaling & such). And they were better at
raw computations than the corresponding ix87 part. I remember
hand-coding some robot control laws using those instructions.
Even though the scaling row is usually left unused in robot apps
(but it still is used for computations in the IIT FPU), thus
producing some inefficiency, the built-in 4x4 was still much faster than
a 3x4 matrix multiply algorithm.

look for a program called nettamer. there were versions for xt and 386 class
PCs.

No clue.

This is a FSBE/S...fast SCSI with buffered 10Mbps ethernet.

I have a new-in-box Sharp PC-5000 for sale at $350 or best offer by 6:00PM
PST October 31st. That is, $350 takes it now (going by first received
e-mail response); otherwise, it goes to the best offer under $350 that I
receive by 6PM-10/31. Buyer pays shipping from zip code 94588. I am
willing to ship internationally
The Sharp PC-5000 is one of the very first clamshell style portables
(later known as laptops) circa 1983. According to our own Uncle Roger, it
even beat out the Gavilan.

This unit comes in the original box, with the original packing foam, is
basically new, has the manuals and battery and power supply (everything
that originally came with it), as well as a bubble memory carthridge.

For those few of you that may own a Futuredata development
system (Tony?) I managed to track down the last engineer
employed by Genrad/Kontron/Futuredata in the US. His name
is Tom de Lellis and he can be reached at tdel(a)windriver.com
Tom has a LOT of software and *some* hardware that I placed
first dibs on...
Also, having just joined this list, it would appear to be
dominated by primarily big iron types instead of us IMSAI
and S100 junkies. Assuming there are a few out there and
you wish to correspond, here's what I have:
Two loaded IMSAI 8080's with both 8 inch and 5.25 drives.
An Odell CP/M 8085 multibus-based word processor
Morrow systems portable CP/M machine
Two Futuredata 2300 Z80 development machines
Trash 80 Model 1
Altair (front panel and bus, looking for boz and front cover)
Spare 8 inch Shugart drives
20 or 30 S100 boards of various types (mem, disk, cpu,IO)
Masccomp 5500, 68010 Unix box
I can burn 2708,2716,2732 EPROMs on a one-up basis if given
an intel HEX file and some word of encouragement.
Everything boots and I have extensive doc on everything.
Would like to obtain a working ASR33 teletype with a paper
tape punch. They guy who had the SOL + teletype drop in
his lap made me drool. (and I bet he meant 750KB drives).
FYI, I'm in Virginia about an hour west of DC, dodging the
Anthrax clouds....

I got a new toy today... The FCC granted me the callsign KC9ALV.
Now not only can I annoy my mom by leaving large computer parts around
the house, I can annoy her by coming over the phone lines and TV and such. ^_^
(I'm just kidding... All I have that I can use is an HT, I didn't pass the Morse
so the HF rig is a paperweight until December, which is the next time the test
runs around here. But once I get HF access, I may have to worry! ^_^ And I do
know enough about RFI to know how to stop it, I'm just making a joke about it.)

I just received notification from Qwest that I am being moved to
