Who was first with ^Z^X^C^V editing shortcuts

by optimus＠canit.se

McFadden, Mike skrev: >Aren't there TECO commands that perform these or similar functions. One of few impressive features in the Atari ST is the UNDO key, next to the HELP key. It's a miracle that when they decided to revise the PC keyboard, they decided to add three bloody (useless) Windows keys instead of real useful keys such as CUT, COPY, PASTE, UNDO, HELP OR COMMAND. -- En ligne avec Thor 2.6. Hackers do it with fewer instructions.

TI Microexplorer software/info wanted for web page

by dannydz＠mailandnews.com

Hi all! I have a TI Microexplorer machine, which is a Mac II with a TI Explorer nubus LISP coprocessor card installed. You may see a picture of my LISP card at http://imagehost.auctionwatch.com/preview/da/dannydz/explorer.jpg I obtained the machine from my university's surplus sale. Original price about US$14,999. Configuration: 5 MB RAM, two 800K disk drives, 80 MB hard drive. It dates from 1988. There is no web site or existing software archive on the entire internet about this machine, so I want to make one. I have a copy of the software, which came with the machine on its hard drive, but it doesn't work. My machine was infected by nVIR B and had some hard drive corruption when I got it. I can arrange to trade software with anyone. I have a fast FTP site available. The compressed archive is quite big, because the card has its own 18 MB virtual drive file. I also have a copy of Coral Macintosh Allegro Common Lisp 1.3.1 which is the predecessor to MCL (Macintosh Common Lisp). I also have CLIPS version 4.30, a product of the A.I. division of NASA, Johnson Space Center http://www.ghg.net/clips/CLIPS.html If you know anyone with a copy of the Microexplorer software or can give me any leads, I would be grateful. I've already sent emails to the individuals who previously posted to ClassiCmp about this machine. I will eventually make a complete website for this card and arrange for some mirrors. I asked in news:comp.sys.ti.explorer but haven't received a response yet. thanks, Daniel Vancouver, BC, CANADA

QVT103 terminal

by ajp166＠bellatlantic.net

>Jerome Fine replies: > >Something is wrong here. Assuming that the QVT103 is the same as a DEC >VT103, then what you have is a real PDP-11 (limited of course to a VERY >small backplane and power supply) along with the equivalent of a VT100. DEC VT103 was a PDP-11 based smart terminal. However there was a VT103 varient that was just a souped up VT100. Anywho Qume never did a PDP-11 based machine only knock offs of the VT100 and VT200 terminals lines. >If you have taken out the PDP-11 boards from the QVT103 backplane - or >just left them there and are using the QVT103 as a terminal running under >E11 on a 486, then you also don't say how the QVT103 is connected to the >PC - via a COM port? These details are important since they clarify the >system you are using. E11 is an emulator, so I bet he's running QVT (windows VT100/200 terminal emulator). There were many variations of the QVT program. Allison

Hi, I have a Qume QVT103 terminal (I'm using with the E11 PDP emulator running on an old 486) - does anyone know how to program the PF1-4 keys? At the moment they try to run some non-existent commands ;-( -- Cheers, Stan Barr stanb(a)dial.pipex.com The future was never like this!

Work had the following on the to dumpster table, they will be gone Monday morning. If anybody wants the following let me know. You pay shipping plus $5 for dealing with it. All equipment given away as is. Most worked when removed from service but any dead units they had were probably stuck in the same pile. If you wish more than one of an item let me know how many you want. On the off chance that I have more takers the one that offers PDP-8 stuff in trade gets it. Email me directly by 9am Monday if you are interested. TRS80 Model 100 In black case, no other accessories or options. Seems to work when I put batteries in.

Northstar disk controller family tree

by frustum＠pacbell.net

I'm starting work on adding support for a Northstar disk controller to my Sol emulator program. Before I start writing code, I figured I'd see if anybody could clarify the relationship of the various Northstar disk controller boards I have either seen on ebay or I've seen mentioned on the web: 1) "Micro-Disk System MDS-A" 2) "MICRO-DISK MDS-A-D DOUBLE DENSITY" (I have the manual to this) 3) MDS-AD2 4) MDC-A2 5) MDC-A3 6) MDC-A4 (I have one of these but haven't tried it yet) ... and others? I assume that #3 is just a different name for #2. How do they compare? Does anybody have programming/technical docs for the ones that I don't have? If it isn't a stretch (and I'd assume it isn't, since they are all from Northstar), I would like to add support for the other disk controllers, but without the docs that won't happen. My real Sol has a "Micro Complex Phase Lock II" disk controller in it, which is compatible with the MDS-AD2 (I think) [ single/double density disk controller ]. I also have an MDC-A4 board, but no docs on it, so I haven't played with it. Thanks for any information, code, tips, vague recollections... ----- Jim Battle == frustum(a)pacbell.net
