Wasn't Bill Yates listed as a co-author on the original Altair article in
P-E with Ed Roberts?

Hey, issue 2 has an article in it by
"William Yates and Paul van Baalen"
IIRC. Can anyone back up that these guys exist?
Seems like a pretty interesting co-incidence.
I'm referring to of course
"William Gates and Paul Allen"

I found a small circuit board marked "Datel EPROM64 8/88". It has a
ZIF socket on it and it appears to be part of an EPROM burner. One end of
the board has a 24 position card edge connector socket. A quick net search
showed that Datel built a lot EPROM burners that plugged into the Commie
64. Is anyone familar with this product? If so, what else is needed besides
the card with the ZIF socket?

Take a 1 Vpp@40Hz Sinewave, highest-frequency spectral content is 40Hz,
sample it at twice this frequency, 80Hz, sample at 0 and 180 degrees (0Vpp
Amplitude), the reconstructed sinewave will be 0Vpp at 0 Hz. Oh well, guess
Shannon's theorem is incorrect...

It was Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems. Forrest M. Mims
was quite the writer...I grew up reading his books. And who could
forget that his wife's name is...MINNIE! Yes folks, Minnie Mims.
Stop laughing now. ;)

Owen,
I've got the original IBM system install disks and RPG subsystem on 8"
floppies. Unfortunately, that's the only software I have for the /36.
Wouldn't mind finding COBOL or some other more interesting software for it.
If you don't have RPG already installed, I'll loan you the disks (I guess
it's safe to loan software to a fellow Robertson).
Send your address and I'll try to get it out next week.

60,65 SX,80 shares same case and 95 series are all towers and heavy.
Even my 90 XP is heavy too for desktop case.
Heck, both P70/P75 are heavy (appox 20lbs) and do have handle.

even the small 9556 is very heavy, due to its all metal construction
including the wrap around case. Even so, a 9595 is very heavy. I ebayed one
with a FH SCSI drive and the guy paid shipping for it from one coast to the
other!

Hi gang,
Anyone knows what that person is talking about?
I suspect it might have been a file manager but please let me know if I'm
wrong.
Thanks

Thanks Pete. My Einstein came with the 80 column add-on so now I've
got something else to find :-) i.e. the genuine CP/M as well as
XtalDos.
After changing a few jumpers in the 80 column add-on, the Einstein now
works with the Phillips mono monitor I use with my BBC Master.

Hmm, if it was shipped USPS, there is a department that warehouses all of
that unreturnable and unforwardable mail.. read about it in Smithsonian
once.. they even had some guy's ashes on the shelf, and due to that article,
the family who was related to him was able to contact the USPS and retrieve
his remains..
