There is book about using/modifying EEC systems on the market. There's also a
yahoo group that talks about the system in detail. tuner23 I think its
called. All of this is car related of course.

I've got a lead on four DG Aviions, CPUs only. They look
to be pretty clean but I didn't have much time to check them
out and there was no way to test any of them. They appeared
to be identical, but I only got to see the back label on one of
them, which was an AV 4300.
Any interest?
Also, at the same place there's an RS/6000 J50. Again, just the
CPU box itself and no way of testing anything.
If someone is seriously interested, let me know what they might
be worth (sight unseen, I know) and I'll go back with an offer to
pick 'em up.
They're located in Maryland, if shipping or pick-up is an issue.
Cheers,
Dan

More generic stuff, looks pricey though.

Tag sale-ing does have its moments. I picked up (after some hard
bargaining) from a retired engineer, a Lab-Volt 355 microcomputer
trainer. Based around a 6502, it has a hex keypad on the right side of
its sloping panel, and another 16-key keypad on the left with keys
apparently used to initiate common "faults" by the instructor. Above
the keypad is a complete LED display which shows in both binary and
digitally the contents of memory, address, stack, accumulator, etc.
This is a big heavy sucker. It has parallel, serial, cassette audio I/O,
digital I/O, device controller connectors on the rear. It also has
expansion slots accessible thru the rear. The former owner says he
still has the manuals, but cannot find them at the moment. I did get
some info from Lab-Volt, but they are just sales brochures.
Any 6502 affectionados out there with some more history on this unit?

Be considerate, then reflect on your OT views. I am sick and tired of this
BS! Knock it off. HELLO, anybody monitoring this mess?! Enough, start kicking
people off already. And please everyone, stop quoting super long lines of
previous messages. Are you too lazy to just keep it short for basic
reference. If you must discuss politics, religion, etc. then do it by
personal e-mail unless you are just strutting yourself online.
Version 2.1 of my Catweasel Floppy Read/Write Tools (cw2dmk and dmk2cw)
is now available at http://www.tim-mann.org/trs80resources.html. This
release adds some heuristics to cw2dmk to produce cleaner output files
and to autodetect RX02 encoding.
Standard blurb on the tools:
The Catweasel Floppy Read/Write Tools are software for the Catweasel ISA
universal floppy disk controller. cw2dmk will read several kinds of floppy
disk, some of which ordinary PC controllers have trouble with, and save
them in the DMK disk image format. (DMK is a format used by the Unix TRS-80
emulator xtrs and by David Keil's TRS-80 emulator for MS-DOS.) cw2dmk
does not just read TRS-80 disks; it can handle (at least) any disk written
using a Western Digital 177x/179x floppy disk controller, a PC-style
NEC765-compatible controller, or a Digital Equipment Corporation RX02
controller. dmk2cw will write any DMK image back to a real floppy disk,
and handles the same kinds of disks as cw2dmk. The tools run on both Linux
and MS-DOS. Source code is included under the GPL.
