I have an old Apple IIe with a CP/M card. Is there any way of finding a boot
disk for this card? Any information on running CP/M on an Apple would be
greatly apreciated.
Thanks

Can anyone help me identify some odd IBM RAM?
I think that this is almost on topic, since the some of the datecodes
in these 72 pin SIMMs are from '91. These are made by IBM and apparently
were in some RS-6000 machine originally. However, they differ slightly
>from normal 72 pin SIMMS in that the key notch is shorter, so that if
you try to install this on a normal SIMM socket, the module can't go
all the way into the socket. The notch in a normal SIMM is about 6mm long,
but the ones in these SIMMs are just 3mm long.
All SIMMs have 10 chips. Some have the following sticker:
40 IBM091
4M 80NS E
P/N 68X6356
FRU 70F9973 (these have ten IBM chips with the numbers 01G9222, M15075P0)
the remaining one says
P/N 68X6356
P/N 09G9647
FRU 70F9973 (This one has ten HM514400AS8 chips)
So I am guessing that these are 4MB, ECC propietary modules.
Can anyone confirm? Or, perhaps I could file a larger notch
and use these somewhere else?

I've decided to put my stash of emulators on my website
so the folk of this list can have a peek. Most emulators come
>from other sites but some of these have closed down
Documentation will be included in the compressed files usually
For some a ROM-download may be needed.
Have fun!

OK, so umm I'm mildly confused... the machine in question is an actual
Apollo, DNxxxx series, correct? What OS are you running, Domain/iX or
Domain/UX? What kind of environment are you trying to integrate the machine
into? I may be able to help you..

I just picked up an IBM System/36 (5362) yesterday. It works perfectly, and
(thankfully) had no password security. It has the Interactive Data
Definition Utility, but not Query/36. I was really hoping to use it for
something, and I was wondering if anyone has Query/36 on 8" diskettes. I
have it on 5.25" disks, but not 8". Also if any one has any of the
programming languages (BASIC, COBOL, etc...) I could use those too.
Thanks,
Owen

I have a Compaq 386 PORTABLE, with an external expansion board, orange
plasma screen, carry case, and full original documentation. Perfect
running condition. I am looking to trade it to someone who can appriciate
it, for something else interesting.

I wouldn't be so sure. There is:
http://www.sjdjweis.com/linux/rs6k/
at least, but there appears to be a slot available for porting netbsd to this:
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/#suggested-powerpc
i've seem a fair bit of other interest. I have two MCA RS6000s myself, and am interested in
working on porting linux/netbsd to it. Unfortunantly I have:
a) little knowledge of the hardware
b) No way of getting a console - my monitors won't sync on the video signal (I have several types
of graphics card available) and serial console doesn't work. I does however boot AIX quite
happily
c) No time at the moment - maybe in autumn i'll be free
I do however have a spare powerstation 340 ( I think - I need to check) as well as many spare
memory boards (full populated) spare ram sticks, video boards, cpus, disks, floppies, etc...
I'm in the UK, so anybody over here (or in the US/Europe for that matter) needs any of the spare
bits, or possibly a complete system - let me know :)
Dave.

Hi,
A question about MO disks and the Canon MO drive installed in some NeXT cube
computers.
I know NeXT MO disks are single-sided, commonly quoted as having a capacity of
256MB.
Canon used to make document imaging systems with built-in 500MB MO drives for
data storage. These used double-sided disks of around 250MB per side. They
also made the Diskfile 5001S, an external SCSI MO drive. The Diskfile 5001S
allowed data from the document imaging systems to be transferred to computer,
and also functioned as a general-purpose storage device.
I just received a Diskfile 5001S drive. Currently I do not have any disks for
this. Two disks will be sent to me eventually.
What I would like to know is: can the Diskfile 5001S (and Canofile document
imaging systems) read and/or write NeXT MO disks? Not at the file level of
course, but at the sector level.
Does anyone have a NeXT MO disk which I can borrow? I would like to see
whether the Diskfile 5001S can read it. Not having a NeXT computer, the
filesystem will not be recognised, but I could use a dd-like utility to
(hopefully) obtain an image file of all user sectors. I would keep the disk
write-protected. If you can help, please contact me by email. If the 5001S
drive is compatible with NeXT disks, it could be useful for people who have
NeXT disks but no working NeXT MO drive.

A friend of mine has a working Einstein and thinks he has Xtaldos and
possibly another OS (pseudo-CP/M?) for a 40-column system. There was
apparently a genuine CP/M version for an 80-column machine, but he doesn't
have the 80-column add-on, nor real CP/M.
Unfortunately, he's about to go on holiday, so it will be at least a couple
of weeks before he can look for disks, but I've saved your mail, and will
remind him.
