I was rummaging in the attic looking for my IBM 1130 listings, and came across this Interdata 7/32 C Maintenance Manual. It includes detailed schematics of the CPU, and the microcode listing. Is anyone interested in scanning or copying this? -- Jonathan Engdahl???????????????? Rockwell Automation Principal Research Engineer????? 24800 Tungsten Road Advanced Technology?????????????

Philips P850 (Was: Classic Computers vs...)

A good book was written about this back in the late 80s by the bloke who taught us about digital design. I forget the title, but the author is Peter Thewlis and the book was published by the Oxford University Press. Takes you all the way from the basics of how to build various flip-flops to how to build registers and an ALU. Excellent fun :) --al

Small Vaxen (was Re: Mainframe stuff...

by cmcmanis＠netapp.com

Does anyone know how to take the rolling feet off a BA215? Its really straightforward on the BA213 (I assume the same for the BA440) but the BA215 has recessed hex head screws and I can't get to them. I was wondering if there was some "preliminary" step that exposed them. --Chuck >Very nice toys. I have a MV4k200 in a BA215. A very handy QBus VAX and >it is nice to work on the BA215.

Mainframe stuff...

by dittman＠dittman.net

I accidentally deleted the message before I read it completely, so I don't know what you said after commenting about the VUPs rating for the 7650, but the 7650 is about 155 VUPs, not 175, according the table I got from DEC. The 7610 is 35 VUPs, and each processor adds 30VUPs. You lose the rest due to overhead. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net Check out the DEC Ethusiasts Club at http://www.dittman.net/

MC68881 vs MC68882 (was Re: Mac Plus as a webserver...)

by Lee.Davison＠merlincommunications.com

> 68882 is right for 68030 & 68020. 68881 only foir 68020. > (talking about hardware, no software) My memory is that the parts were interchangable in hardware (presuming the speed was OK) but the performance was better at a given speed for the 68882 over the 68881.

Tru64 V5.1

by dittman＠dittman.net

I know this is off-topic, but earlier there was some discussion that included comments about people buying the Tru64 hobbyist kit. If anyone has the Tru64 V5.1 CD set, I need to get an ISO image of the Associated Products CD 1 of 2. I damaged my CD. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net Check out the DEC Ethusiasts Club at http://www.dittman.net/

I had a Mac II, which used a 68881. I remember the 68882 being sold by some people as a speed-up for the Mac II. I bought a 68851 MMU so I could run A/UX on my Mac II. The 68851 added functionality necessary for A/UX but did slow down memory access slightly. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net Check out the DEC Ethusiasts Club at http://www.dittman.net/

who's got an M88k Aviion?

by jeff.kaneko＠juno.com

r-- I own an AV-400, and a 412. In addition, I have enough parts to turn my 400 into a AV-530. The 400 could be a single or dual processor machine, mine uses a 'stock' framebuffer. There used to be a page that had some of the NV-RAM info on it; I'll have to see if I have it stashed away somewhere. Do you have the DG/UX install CD/Tape?
