I have some RCA COSMAC 18xx family parts, two 1802 and one 1806 CPUs, an
1861 PIXIE video (!!), a 1854 UART, and a few assorted support chips. I've
decided that the best use for them would be to build an updated Elf (I also
built the original Elf 25 years ago and have always had a soft spot for the
1802).
What software is out there that can run on the COSMAC? Does anybody have
a copy of Tiny BASIC or figForth for the 1802?
I have the original Popular Electronics Elf articles, but I'd like to have
a look at the schematics for the Quest or Netronics Elf versions too. Does
anybody have copies that they can share?
BTW, I have schematics and ROM listings for the original RCA VIP (CDP18S711),
RCA COSMAC Evaluation Kit (CDP18S020, including UT4) and the COSMAC Microboard
(CDP18S604), if anybody needs those.
Thanks,
Bob Armstrong
I am looking for a couple of these also, as well as non-ADB NeXT mouses.
Thanks,

OK... so I have this NeXT slab (25 Mhz '040), I have some 30-pin SIMMs, and
I have a 4Gb SCSI drive. I even have software. What I don't have is a
bracket for the internal hard drive. Someone brought one to lunch today,
and it appears to have a couple of feet that clip on to the edge of the
case,
and one screw hole on the other side.
Is there a place I can get a proper drive bracket? I suppose I can make my
own, but I'm not sure it will stay put on the non-screwed-in end.
Thanks,

One of these days I'll get another big box Amiga. I've always regretted
getting rid of mine. I couldn't afford the PPC upgrades though and the
stock CPU was no longer cutting it.

One of the things I remember about MUI was that it did slow down the
system a little. Not a big deal when I was on an A4000 but it was noticable
on my A3000. Both were using the same graphics card (GVP Spectrum) and had
roughly the same amount of RAM. The main difference was the processor
speed. For that reason, I liked apps that didn't use it, but I did use it
when I needed to. Such was the case with YAM...there just wasn't anything
else comparable. I used it with Miami, Aweb and Amirc.

Ta Sellam - according to my own notes only 10K Lisa 1's were sold, 80K was
roughly the number of Lisa 2/Mac XLs sold......
Losing your job has a fun effect on your brainpower :) Still, I got a
Sinclair ZX80 power supply for one english pound last weekend so I'm not
complaining!

I've been talking to another SB-180 owner and it's rekindled my interest
in them. I'm wondering how many other SB-180 owners there are on the
list? Does anyone have any interesting stories to tell about them?

I would love something like this. Anyone know of a majordomo hack
(or another package) that does this?
