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

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. Jeff

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! cheers adrian/witchy www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk - the Online Computer Museum 0:OK, 0:1

SB-180?

by rigdonj＠intellistar.net

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? Joe

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