Wayne Stewart did a PDF conversion--not just a scan--of
the manual for the Apple II Programmers Aid ROM. There
are a few typographical errors but it is very good.
It is about 278KB. E-mail me if you want a copy.
The empty ROM socket in the Apple II at addresses $D800-$DFFF
never had an official Apple ROM but there were some third party
ROMs such as the Inspector and the Senior PROM. In the Integer
BASIC disk file on the DOS 3.3 system masters that area is
filled with the Applesoft BASIC code from the same range of
addresses.

Hi All,
I keep looking on Ebay for AIX media. I have a 7013-530 Powerstation.
What's the best version for me to pick up? Will I be able to install it
with out an official IBM license code/number/etc?

...At least that it what I called the little challenge I gave myself
tonight. I had my IBM 5155 (aka the Portable PC) opened up in order
to test some MFM hard drives (a task that failed miserably because
the drive controller couldn't handle the ST-251 drives). As often
happens, I got sidetracked and started pondering the very limited
clearance that most of the slots in the 5155 have, due to the hard
drive and floppy drive taking up so much space.
I found myself thinking that it would be a shame to waste so many
otherwise useful slots; and I subsequently started plotting out what
could fit in there.
Here is a picture of the (almost) final results...
I say almost, because the one full-clearance slot that is still empty
has a card slated to go in it, a 3Com EtherLink II. I just have to
remember where I put the thing. The last slot is currently being
used up by the parallel and joystick connectors that are coming off
the IO card in the first slot. I may go ahead and remove those
connectors and use that slot for a dual joystick controller card that
I have around here somewhere.
FWIW, here is what Crysta is now equipped with...
Slot 0: - IO Card (RAM, Serial, Parallel, Joystick)
Slot 1: - Floppy Controller
Slot 2: - Sound Card - Covox SoundMaster II
Slot 3: - Reserved for NIC (3Com EtherLink II-TP)
Slot 4: - CGA Adapter - DFI 2002
Slot 5: - HDC - WD1002A-WX1
Slot 6: - SCSI - NCS-250-SC
Slot 7: - Reserved for Suncom Joystick Card
So, anyone else here ever maxed out a 5155 before? Great thing about
having SCSI capability is that being limited to a 20MB MFM hard drive
is no longer a major concern. If I need more drive space, all I have
to do now is hang an external SCSI drive or two or three off the
system.
Also, while I was working on Crysta, I was thinking that this might
actually be a good candidate for the control terminal for the
Cromemco System Two; at least until I can get an actual Cromemco
Smart Terminal...
Anyway, enough random nattering from me for tonight. Time to get the
clutter cleared up and go get some sleep.

I know this is a bit OT, becuase it's not really computer related, but the
hardware is at least 23 years old, so that's my excuse for posting to the
list...
I've got a 35mW HeNe Laser + Power supply that I picked up today for next
to nothing. It seems to be having some problems - the laser (somtimes)
blinks a few times when I first turn it on, and then stops. From the
sound of the power supply it's either a loose connection (which I doubt
after opening it up and taking a good look around) or there's a problem
with the power supply.
Now, I've never really worked on a HV power supply before, and I'm trying
to be careful when I play with things. First off, does anyone have a
general idea of what sized dummy load ("resisitor") I should try haning
off of the HV output to properly load it? I noticed that the laser tube
has 3x27kohm resistors in series, would a couple watt approx 81kohm
resistor be a good idea?
Also, does anyone have an idea for a failure mode to look for? I've got
an O'scope, dmm, and various other tools at my disposal, but no
'authentic' HV test/mesurement gear.
I'm just looking for general guidelines.
Thanks!

Hi --
Having doctored up one faulty drive and replaced the other, my TRS80 Model
3 is now ready for action. It fires right up and will boot several
different Model 3 OSes. The documentation I received with the unit
contains a lot of detail, but it does not describe all of the i/o
connectors on the rear of the unit.
The ones which I can identify from the docs are a female DIN connector for
tape i/o and a female DB25 for serial i/o. The docs also describe the
parallel port as a 34-pin card-edge connector (which I suppose needs a
Tandy-specific cable to attach to a printer), but the problem is that there
are *two* of these 34-pin connectors on the rear of the system, as well as
a 50-pin card-edge connector.
Can anyone familiar with this system help me out with details regarding
these connectors?

I've been asked what is required to make MAC's (Plus, SE, CI, FX) from
North America run in Africa.
I took a quick looked at a few of mine and didn't notice a switch on the
back of the powe supply like some of the older PC's had.
Is the costs worth the cost of shipping?
Hello all,
I just a couple of days ago picked up a VAX 11/750. This machine has
been stored
in a damp shed for ten years or so, has had mice living in it, and the
usual assortment
of spiders, etc. After bringing it home, I immediately wrote down what
cards were in
what slots, etc, before dismantling the system for cleaning. Everything
is out of the
chassis, with the exception of the console cable and the wires that
connect the backplane
to the control panel and TU58 tape drive. I'm in the process of cleaning
all the components,
but am in search of some advice on this process, especially the power
supply. How long
should I let the power supply dry out from its prior damp condition, and
what should
I do to bring it up for testing without risking damage to other
components? I wish to
do this methodically and carefully.
Thanks Much!

Hi
Actually, I was bummed. I gave away about 1/2 lbs of candy
corn and hardly got any votes. Many walked by and looked
at my monitor and said " Ah, a Apple III." I finally had
to put a piece of paper over the label so people would
look a little closer. The monitor was just the first thing
I could find at the top of the pile that lit up.
I had a Poly-88 setup but I think only one in 10 noticed
and even then, I think only 2 in those ten knew what it was.
Of course, my display was all about tape recovery and not
the Poly-88. I don't think, maybe, 5 people all together
realized that.
It was partly my fault. My title was a little small and
I spent most of my time fighting with Larry over table space
instead of talking to people ( Larry was cheating with Tootsie
Pops! ). I had no cool graphics either.
Next year I'll have better candy and a bigger title!
Still, I had a great time. Thanks Sellam!!!
