Fujitsu/Amdahl Bubble Memory System?

They were remote power monitoring stations, kind of like an electric meter but with a bubble memory drive with a bubble memory cart plugged into it. We got lots of carts, too. This was about 10 years ago. They came from the State of Washington IIRC. I was surprised to see them. Before that the only bubble stuff we had seen came from Intel. IIRC they were of Japanese mfg., I don't remember if they were Fujitsu but it is possible. They used a removable 128K memory module, about 3/4X1X2 inches in size that plugs in and out of a socket on the drive. They were remote power loggers. Someone showed up, pulled the bubble cart, replaced it with another and took the just pulled one down to the office and read it. Paxton Astoria, OR

VMS Question

by pat＠purdueriots.com

OK, now that I have a bunch of 9-track tapes, how do I dump a copy of the tape to a file? I've found "mount /foreign mua0:" and "dump /out=bleh mua0:", but I'd rather have a binary copy of the tape end up in a file. I've seen the MKD program, but that requires a library that I don't seem to have: -CLI-E-AMAGEFNF, image file not found DUA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]CMA$TIS_SHR.EXE; Any suggestions? -- Pat

Protec PRO-83 Computer - More Info

by mhstein＠usa.net

Well, as Murphy would have it I just threw out a thick folder of Protec docs & literature. But, if it's the same Protec in Quebec who did indeed make Z80 SBCs in the old days before they specialized in KVMs, they're still very much alive; why not try a phone call or e-mail. www.protec.ca Protec Microsystems Inc. 297, Labrosse, Pointe-Claire, Quebec H9R 1A3, CANADA Tel.: (514) 630-5832 -------------Original Message----------- From: "Robert Collier" <rdcoll(a)hotmail.com> Subject: Protec PRO-83 Computer - More Info Hello all, I did a little more reading and found out that the model number for the computer was PMS 100. I could still use any information anyone might have - and hopefully, the model number might help. The machine is the Protec PRO-83 z80 Single Board Computer. Thanks.

seek info for Ciprico Rimfire 3200

by red＠bears.org

Howdy. I'm looking for any information I can find on the Ciprico Rimfire 3200 VME SMD controller, and ideally drivers for it to run under SunOS 4.1. Actually, I know what it is so perhaps I should amend my request for "configuration information" in preference to "information". (; ok r.

X-10 (was: A *real* classic)

by mhstein＠usa.net

You may find that interfacing to X-10 is a little easier today than it was then, with friendlier stuff >from X-10 and also Micromint's PLIX chip/kit (the same folks who brought us the elsewhere-mentioned 80C52-BASIC). http://www.micromint.com/chips.htm mike -----------Original Message---------- From: Chris <mythtech(a)Mac.com> Subject: RE: A *real* classic <snip> Some day I will get an old interface and hook my X10 system up to a Mac Plus or SE or so that I have kicking around.

I'm using (please don't puke, at least not in my direction) MS Mail & News, simply because it's *there* and I've never heard of any Outlook-like holes in it. Has anyone out there ever heard of any major vulnerabilities in this program? Glen 0/0
