PPro (was: RE: Need manual URL/hardcopy for HP Netserver LX Pro 6/200 serve)

by ken＠seefried.com

From: "wizard" > PS: Still not conviced that PPro is "worthy" CPUs. I view it as > "bastard child" of PII, celeron is even worse. Excuse me? Considering the PPro is significantly older than the PII, it would be hard for it to be the child. Further...the PPro has faster cache (clock == core, as opposed to clock == 1/2 core on PII) and on some versions more cache than the PII (up to 1MB). Clock for clock, the PPro is a better chip than the PII, it simply never got clocked up as high as the PII (for a number of mostly economic reasons).

Security bits

by paul＠wccnet.org

I purchased a 33 piece security bit set from Radio Shack for $8 last May. They had to order it and it cost me $2.50 more for delivery. I just checked www.radioshack.com and I found it for $13 in the tools section (catalog number 910-5247). The URL is http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=C… Paul R. Santa-Maria Monroe, Michigan USA

Toshiba T250 & moving files

by djg＠drs-esg.com

I got this and can't really help. From what I understand if you assist him so he can get the files off then he is willing to give the machine. Sorry, didn't think until now to ask where he lives. Reply to address in message below. -------- Original Message ----------- From: "Dave Bradshaw" <dave(a)fishmonger.com> I own a Toshiba T250 CPM PC that is around 17 years old. It is in excellent condition, and fully operational. It has 2 8 inch floppy diskette drives. The disk drives are high capacity, and the floppies contain 1MB of data. I have a lot of text data that I would like to move to a Windows based system. I'm looking either for an 8 inch drive that I can connect to a Windows PC, or another solution. I have never been able to locate a communications application that will wild card the file transfers, making the job way to ponderous to do one file at a time. There are literally thousands of small files. Do you know of an 8 inch drive that is compatible with a Windows PC and my high capacity 8 inch floppies. Also, if you are interested in my machine I am more than willing to part with it after I move all the data. -------- Original Message ----------- I pointed him to http://www.cpmspectre.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/cpm/cpm_faq.htm#q14 http://www.cpmspectre.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ and classiccmp.

Initially all 2048 bits of the PROM are in the '0' state (outpiut low). Information is introduced by selectively programming '1's (output high) in the proper bit locations. All 8 address bits must be in the binary complement state when pulsed Vdd and Vgg move to their negative levels. The addresses must be held in their binary complement state for a minimum of 25 microsec after Vdd and Vgg have moved to their negative levels. The addresses must then make the transition to their true state a minimum of 10 microsec before the program pulse is applied. The addresses shouyld be programmed in the sequence 0 through 255 for a minimum of 32 times. The eight output terminals are used as data inputs to determine the information pattern in the eight bits of each word. A low data level (-48V) will program a '1' and a high data input (0V) will program a '0'. All eight bits of one word are programmed simultaneously by setting the desired bit information patterns on the data input terminals. During the programming, Vgg, Vdd, and the Program Puilse are pulsed signals. See page 2 of the data sheet for required pin connections during programming.

5.25in. Floppies

I install 5.25 floppies on all my modern machines since older ones use the same size. I recently lucked out and found some electronic eject 5.25 drives that fit perfectly in my PS/2 95 servers. Pretty cool to have a computer that can natively support 3 floppy drives. old computers, old cars and sundry items www.nothingtodo.org

Uhh, they convert RS232 to a current-loop interface? :) PDP8, early PDP11, and lots of other systems used 20mA (and other) current-loop interfaces before +-15V RS232 came into vogue. -Dave -- Dave McGuire St. Petersburg, FL "Less talk.
