Hi guys!, Go easy on me, I'm new here and don't know the ropes yet :S I have an old Intel RMX Sys86/330 system (white cabinet)which I'd got working a few years back, but has fallen over again. All I'm really interested in is getting the data (mostly ASM source)on the hard drive onto a PC. I also have boxes full (heaps!) of 8" floppies for this system that I'd like to get the data off and over to a PC. I've searched classiccmp archives and google and can't find quite what I'm after, though I did find ppl trying to run 3.5" and 5.25" fdd's on 8" systems. What I'd like to be able to do is connect my 8" HDD to a PC and D/L all the data directly - likewise with the 8" FDD. Am I wasting my time, or is this possible? Making interfaces / electronics is no problem, and I have all the gear like CRO, logic probe, etc. Hard drive is - Priam Model 3450-10 8" HDD Floppy disk drive is - Mitsubishi Model M2894-63D June 83 8" FDD I believe this is DSDD based on some of the disks I have. Any help would be appreciated Regards Grant Mc :o) _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

OT - Thinkpad 760CD

by Innfogra＠aol.com

Push the cover latches the other way from opening the top. This unlatches the keyboard which is hinged at the back and folds up from the front. The hard drive, battery and CD reside there. Pull the HD up from the back by the little wire handle. Usually you can replace the HD in the HD carrier. Paxton Astoria, OR

DSSI cable needed

by rschaefe＠gcfn.org

Just picked up a R400X loaded with RF-72s (Thanks, Ethan!), includes a terminator but no cable. :( I want to plug it in to my VAX 4000 200, since that's the only VAX I have with DSSI. A DEC part number that starts with BC21M- is what I need, if anyone has a spare they'd like to part with. Thanks! Bob

Selling it off. What would you keep ?

By the late '80's it covered most of Western Europe and the States including non-academic sites. CIX (Compulink Information Exchange) was founded in 1987, and Demon Internet in June 1992, both offering public services in the UK. Demon charged UKP10/month for dialup access. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

OT: _spam_

by Fred.van.Kempen＠microwalt.nl

Hi all, I have been checking some dates, and I'm quite sure that someone on this list isn't for real, but a spam-address-collector instead. If I post something on this list, I get spam pretty soon thereafter. And yes, I varied my sender address (a little), and it takes over that spelling. Can the ListMaster check on this, possibly by having us all do a manual "yes, I am here" reply or somesuch? Thanks, Fred

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I have one that's not working and that I haven't had time to fix. They also show up on E-bay periodicly, in fact, I think one was on there just recently. I MAY have a manual for it, I'll have to look.

Microprofessr MPF-1 Manuals?

by glenslick＠hotmail.com

Does anyone have manuals for the MultiTech Microprofessor MPF-1B? This is a Z-80 single board computer with a keypad and six 7-segment LEDs for the display. I picked one up as my first Z-80 system to mess around with. I dumped the EPROM image and have started to unassemble it, but of course it would be quicker to just read the monitor source if someone has a copy of the monitor listing manual. I suppose I would learn more figuring out how it works on my on than by reading the manuals. I did some web searching and couldn't find manuals anywhere, but apparently these are still being made today by a UK company that acquired the rights to the design. http://www.flite.co.uk/micros/mpf-1b.html Actually what I really have is an E&L Insturments FOX MT-80Z which is a MPF-1B grafted to an expansion board with a prototype area. I can't find any docs on the web for those either. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail

The internet 10 years ago (was Re: Selling it off. What would you keep ?)

Those were the days. Not. Ten years ago, I was still relying on bulletin boards most of the time. I well remember using the dialup provided by Lancaster University (what was HENSA and is now the UK Mirror service), and realising that some distribution I needed was going to take several hours to download. Luckily, I had a friend at York who could use FTP over a JANET link :-) -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Thats why Cliff started doing UUCP first :) But you *could* -- that was my point. In 1992, Demon made that possible with dialup IP (not UUCP), and it grew very quickly, from an initial base of 200 users. At least one of my friends had an account back then -- I know, because I used it. And by 1994 when I started at York University, Demon Internet was well enough established that several students had dialup accounts, and other companies had followed Demon's lead and produced a very competitive market. CIX did it before that, though it was restricted, as you suggest. And I'm not sure when they moved from UUCP to whatever else they did. The company I worked for at the time had .co.uk accounts in 1989 or 1990 (but I don't know who the provider was). -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
