Adventure for 8080

Jay: If you can come up with a text file or a hard-copy printout, that's more than I have at this point. I'm hoping to get CP/M working after I get the integrated debugger working. Thanks.

100 Mb ARCnet?

I thought TC also made Ethernet cards, so I wouldn't have made that assumption. But yes, this does appear to be a 100Mbps Arcnet card, they call it TCNS: http://www.textfiles.com/computers/PRESSRELEASE/tconrad.txt Regards, -dq

ISIS & CP/M for MDS 225 series3

by techno＠dsuper.net

Hello folks... I've been trying to get an operating system for my MDS 225 series 3 on 8" disks. I've read that it uses ISIS (Intel System Implementation Supervisor) and that it can also run CP/M (GENERIC) according to Joe's web site http://www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/mds.htm However, I've tried to email joe at rigdonj(a)intellistar.net But the mail bounces as undelivered. Any ideas? Doug Taylor (Techno) Sysop of the "Dead On Arrival BBS" Telnet://doabbs.dynip.com http://www-mtl.look.ca/~techno techno(a)dsuper.net

A large number of 11/780's were still being used in commercial locations (although many had been upgraded to 11/780-5's -- non FCC'd 11/785's)... but many were still in commercial use after the scientific number cruncher types moved from the 11/780 to newer faster and smaller boxes or to bigger boxes like the 8650. There were many 11/780's still in use through the late 80's at various sites... many outside the US. Saying the 11/780 was out of widespread use in '87 is like saying the 11/70 was out of widespread use in 85. Not true if you ever were in AT&T, or any ex-Bell Operating Company -- they were buying 11/70's through 1984 or so from DEC as refurbs.

Zenith Data Systems Z-386 SX/20 Free in NJ

by mythtech＠Mac.com

> Have you tried <ctrl><alt><ins>? That's what the key combo >to get into the ROM-based setup of the Zenith Z-248's used to be. As it turns out, that key combo was pointed out to me the other day, and yes, it does work. It drops you into some kind of ROM debugger, where one of the features is a setup utility. So now the Zenith has been saved from the scrap heap (as there were no takers on it), and has been set to use the 3.5" 1.44 drive (and the 360k 5.25 was upped to a 1.2 5.25, not that I needed it, but I didn't have a face plate that fit nicely in the hole, so I just used one of my many spare 5.25 drives). It is now happily collecting dust on my shelf of "good to use" computers waiting for an interviewing job to call on it. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
