IBM APL for PC help: missing VM232___.AIO

by sieler＠allegro.com

hi, I just got an unopened copy of IBM's APL for the PC, from 1988 (apparently). There's a 5.25" floppy disk in it, and one file is unreadable: VM232___.AIO. Does anyone have a copy I can borrow? thanks! -- Stan Sieler sieler(a)allegro.com www.allegro.com/sieler/wanted/index.html www.sieler.com

ALERT! Major Purge in progress

by cmcmanis＠mcmanis.com

This needs immediate action everyone, Compaq is in the process of removing ALL of the old "Digital Equipment Corp" information from the Web. We've already lost the DEC Technical Journal articles that were on-line, and the Digital Timeline pages. This is a major blow to archivists and preservationists. EVERYONE needs to contect Compaq/DEC and ask that they restore those pages to the web. Please! --Chuck

Raytheon 704

by Innfogra＠aol.com

Anyone out there have a Raytheon 704 computer, circa 1977. I just found a copy of the Users Manual at Goodwill. No computer unfortunately. If anyone is interested in it contact me offline, otherwise it will show up on eBay. Paxton Portland, Oregon

WTB: MicroAce, CTM magazines

I think a better question would be "How hard is it to find the goddamned monitor and keyboard for the bastard?" As the owner of a Terak, I can say its cute, but pretty useless sans monitor and keyboard... grrr..

There are *updates* to 7.5 (like 7.5.1, etc) that are freely available from Apple's sites, but I've never seen 7.5 itself freely available for download. Care to share a link? -dq

Were you there at the end? The last issue I got had a different masthead, and IIRC, the internal format had changed. regards, -dq > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Nadeau [mailto:menadeau@mediaone.net] > Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2001 7:33 AM > To: classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org > Subject: Re: FW: TRS-80 Magazines > > > Kilobaud and Microcomputing were two separate magazines from different > publishers, but they never merged.
