Hayes also made an Optima in 14.4 in the same
aluminum clamshell. I had one way back when.
At least I could *swear* it was a 14.4.. It's been a
long time, and I've had dozens of Hayes.
I'm now using the 56K version with the clone plastic
clamshell, in fact.

Hi,
I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but there is apparently a
program that allows Amiga floppy disks to be read on a PC with standard
floppy controller and two floppy drives. The same technique can to some
extent be applied to read other "exotic" disk formats.
Take a look at http://fast.emuunlin.com/disk2fdi/index.html
If you download the disk2fdi archive, there is an MS Word-format document
(ugh) that describes the technical details. It's quite clever.

I think I might have the manual for this board, I will check later and say
for certain...

I believe some of Godbout's designs were done my Morrow, but
perhaps not all.
Godbout used to run an EPROM programming service. After having typed in
the SOL's CONSOL source listings (sans comments), assembling it using the
Intel MAC80 cross assembler, and testing the code under the Intel INTERP-80
simulator (each running on both the DEC-10 and the CDC-6600), I ran the
Intel HEX output through a conversion so that I could punch a papertape on
the CDC-6600's high-speed papertape reader/punch (a holdover from the days
when IU had a CDC 3400/3600 system) and sent the paper tape to Godbout.
Someone names Spencer who worked there burned my 5204 Eproms with the
tiny fragile gold legs and got 'em back to me.
I had *one* error in my entry of CONSOL that I never caught- Control-Z,
which was the cursor down function, would crash the machine. Later, I
got some SOLOS roms, and never looked back...

Ah, the Wunderbuss...
I found one S-100 line that had a copper gap from producton... but it wasn't
a normally used line, at least in the Altair/IMSAI usage... maybe IEEE-S696
used it...

I was given a RISComputer M/120 with 2 boxes of documentation and many
QIC tapes (RISC/os 3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.51, 5.0, Fortran, Pascal and Ingres).
Funny thing is that the computer has 3.0 installed on it :) I'm going to
keep the most recent versions (RISC/os 5.0) and pull all the data off the
tapes and make "available" at some point.
So, this means I have a complete set of RISC/os 4.5 docs that are destined
for the recycling bin if no one claims them.
Still in shrink wrap:
User's Guide
User's Refernce Manual Volume I (System V)
User's Refernce Manual Volume I (BSD)
Loose:
Sysytem Administrator's Reference Manual
Next 4 are in binders:
Programmer's Guide Volume I
Programmer's Guide Volume II
Programmer's Reference Manual Volume I (System V)
Programmer's Reference Manual Volume II (BSD)
I also have the OS on QIC-120 tapes, release 4.51 which I'll give to
whomever wants it.
Note that all of this is very heavy, so shipping will be $$$$. I'd much
prefer someone came to pick it up. I'm in Waterville, Eastern Townships,
Qu?bec. First claim for both tapes and docs wins over someone wanting
only the tapes.
Speak now or this stuff becomes newsprint :)

hello,
my name is Piedro Vander Steene from Belgium. I'm having an old amstrad
PPC512 that still is working, but i don't have any disks to start the
machine up. Neither have i a manual. Is there someone who could help me
please ? THANKS !

Hi,
I got a MicroVAX 3300 earlier in the year - a nice little(ish) box, but
I was thinking the other day - It should have a terminator for the DSSI,
which it doesn't have. The guy I bought it from had (at one point) had an
expansion cabinate (he scrapped it!) which presumably had the terminator
in :&/
So basically, I was wondering if anyone out there has a spare DSSI
terminator, or as these as I suspect - very similar to gold dust

George Morrow's board designs always did this for me; I have an
EconoRAM III 16K dynamic board and an early WunderBUSS in an
Objective Design extruded aluminum frame.
Which reminds me: has anyone written up the electrolytic capacitor
reconditioning instruction into a FAQ?
