Is the Toshiba T1000XE still available? If yes, what is price. I can pay by bank transfer or bank check. I am willing to pay shipping.
My old unit died -- both lcd and hd -- and just want a replacement. Have batteries.

Drop me email expressing interest. I have to move soon, so any of these

Does anyone have an extra Bliss-32 manual they'd like to sell? I used to
program in Bliss while I was at DEC and would like to have a Bliss reference
manual for my collection of programming language manuals.
Thanks,

Cool Brit stuff? OK, I'll take some ICL 29xx series, some CTL minis, some
GEC's, and any other British mainframes/minis/supers that I have failed to
mention : ) I do have an ICL 29xx reference card, however, since the guy who
gave me my IBM 5362 is English and had dug it up rummaging through his stuff
to find all the items he could for me. He no longer had any CTL stuff,
unfortunately.

Selling the little buggers on eBay. They go for anywhere between
$250 and $500, and I picked up about twenty of them for less than $20/ea.

Hello,
I really want to get rid of these two items!
Cipher Tape drive (open real)
Model C880340-96-15250
Part Number 961210-001 Option B
I have the Q-bus card that will drive this beast, but no cables. The
card is an Emulex TC02
Texas Instruments Professional Computer. It is the size of an IBM PC
and uses the 8088 processor, but requires a TI version of MSDOS. It
won't boot using standard MSDOS. It also requires a TI keyboard, and I
am not sure what it uses for a monitor. I don't have either monitor, or
keyboard. It is in great shape.
Please make sure you email directly, as this is being posted to two
lists.

Yes, but get the data rate correct. An 8" disk uses twice the data rate of
a 5.25" disk for the same density. And an 8" disk spins at 360 rpm,
whereas (at least for SD and DD) a normal 5.25" spins at 300 rpm. That's
why Mitsubishi used to make special (expensive) 5.25" drives to emulate 8"
drives. However, HD drives normally spin at 360 rpm.

No, I never heard of any XXDP utility to format floppies other than RX33,
and I doubt if it's possible. The work is all done by the RQDX controller.
RQDX1 and RQDX2 can't format floppies at all. RQDX3 can format RX33. You
need a Rainbow (or a PC, or an Archimedes) to format RX50.

As someone else stated earlier, make sure that you're using true parity
SIMMS - the machine will not run with any other type of memory.
Another thing you might want to take into account (which stumped me for
quite a while until I found the hardware reference for the system) is
that a bank is NOT four consecutive SIMM sockets - the system is set
up so that a bank is EVERY OTHER SIMM socket (that is, rather than
the banks laid out as 00001111, they are laid out as 01010101).
Hope this helps!

Yes, but you've not got a controller. You've only got the QBus interface
that taslks to the controller, which is in the RX02 chassis. Unless what
you have is a Plessey or General Robotics RXV21 (GXV21?) which connects to
8" that have an SA800/SA850 interface. That, however, is a very different
animal.

Well, if you have a real RX02, it can "reformat" RX01 disks. I doesn't
actually reformat them in the sense that is usually meant, though. It
takes a disk already formatted with 128-byte single-density sectors (IBM
standard) and rewrites the data portion of each sector (NOT the headers,
which remain FM) as 256-byte blocks in MFM.
> Would it be possible to use some other machine* with 5.25" floppy drive

You could use a PC to format a disk so it looked like a single-density 8"
disk laid out the same way as an RX01 disk. To do that, you'd need a
suitable drive, and controller that can handle 250kHz data in FM
(single-density). Your RQDX controllers certainly can't do it.

If you are interested in acquiring an Eagle II or two, Jim in Forney,
Texas (just outside Dallas) has a couple up for grabs.
Please contact him at <MrJazz08(a)aol.com>.
These aren't free so make an offer. I feel $20 for a complete setup
(computer, software, manuals) would be reasonable.
