We got in several 100 units that had a drive installed that sounds similar to
this. 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.

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?

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.

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.
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

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).

Some day I will get an old interface and hook my X10

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?
