This runs at 2400 baud. The Exidy Sorcerer also uses Manchester encoding. For 1200 baud this equates to 1 cycle of 1200 Hz for a logic 1, and a half cycle of 600 Hz for a logic zero. For 300 baud it becomes 8 cycles of 2400 Hz and 4 cycles of 1200 Hz. It sounds like plain FSK, but if you draw the waveform for "101100" at 1200, you'll see it's actually a Manchester code: __ _____ __ __ _____ | |__| |__| |__| |_____| | --1-- --0-- --1-- --1-- --0-- --0-- > There is a standard called Byte format that uses 300 baud > and the two tones 1200 and 2400. Byte format is Kansas City format. It was proposed in Byte and formalised at the KC meeting. I think the Commodore PET uses modified CUTS. It records each block twice, which is why it's relatively slow, but also pretty robust. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

Looking for HP 10342B Bus Preprocessor software

by charles＠socketcom.com

I am trying to find the software that is needed for an HP 16500A logic analyzer to operate the HP 10342B Bus Preprocessor. The HP16500A I am using has an 16510A analyzer module. I just need the analyzer setup files and inverse assembler. Thanks, Charles Ader.

RS232 or Parallel port based keyboards and joysticks

by ram_suganthi＠hotmail.com

I found the following website that basically does what I need using a SUN Keyboard: http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~vojtech/input/adapters.html As for joysticks, is the gameport joysticks a version of an RS232? Is it possible to convert gameport to RS232 signals? Thanks for the responses...

VT50 connection

I don't recall whether actual schematics are to be found there or not. Antonio

Otrona Attache

by ssmith12＠rochester.rr.com

Hi J.C., I have a functioning Attache (it has some video probs; like vertical roll) which I've owned since new. Should I fix it or sell it? If so, how (either/both). And who is this Donald that has all Otrona's inventory? If you don't mind my asking.... --Steve Smith

looking for Xerox Alto

by p_reale＠minotaurz.com

I am looking for any version of rthe Xerox PARC Alto for my museum. I am located in Southern Calif. IO might also have something equally valuable to trade (like a Silicon Graphics 2400 Turbo) in a mini.
