nearly complete Stack...

by technos＠nerdland.org

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.

Possible to read Amiga disks on a PC? Yes, actually

by mark_k＠totalise.co.uk

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. -- Mark

Ebay madness

> Is the EconoRam a George Morrow design? I have four EconoRams that are Bill > Godbout/CompuPro products. Mine are 16K SRAMs, in this case, loaded with > 2147's. 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... > I also have a completely new/unused (not in the box, but never used) WunderBuss > somewhere. I'm not even certain it was ever assembled. 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... -dq

MIPS RISC/os 4.5 docs available

by liste＠artware.qc.ca

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 :) -Philip

DSSI Terminator

by matt＠knm.yi.org

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 -- Matt --- E-mail: matt(a)pkl.net, matt(a)knm.yi.org, matt(a)printf.net matt(a)m-techdiagnostics.ltd.uk, matthew.london(a)stud.umist.ac.uk mattl(a)vcd.student.utwente.nl, mlondon(a)mail.talk-101.com Web Page: http://knm.yi.org/ http://pkl.net/~matt/ PGP Key fingerprint = 00BF 19FE D5F5 8EAD 2FD5 D102 260E 8BA7 EEE4 8D7F PGP Key http://knm.yi.org/matt-pgp.html

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? -dq
