Um... Has anyone tried contacting Glenn? IIRC, he reads comp.os.vms,
and maybe he kept a copy...

Worse, it's one of the few I don't have! :^(

... or more to the point, does anyone know or have a copy of the famous
(or should that be 'infamous') 8BBS software?
I've been considering a bit of a BBS retrospective, and thought having an
'8 running a BBS would be an interesting addition.

Hello all,
I recently received an Apple-branded 3.5" floppy drive controller card.
After doing a bit of web research, I found out it was a "LIRON" card, and
NOT a SuperDrive card. I also found out that it will only work with a
specific type of 3.5" drive: the UniDisk.
I don't have a UniDisk, so the next logical questions are:
- Does anyone have a UniDisk 3.5" drive that they's be willing to
swap/dump/sell? Yes, I did see a couple on eBay, but I'd rather avoid
paying $40-$50 for one....
- If I do not find a UniDisk, would anyone want this? What would you trade
for it? I have no docs, and it is the card/cable only. If I do not find a
UniDisk, then it is untested, except to say that I put it in an Apple IIe,
with no drive connected, and it did NOT smoke :-)
Thanks!
Rich B.

If you're talking about DEC BASIC as implement on VMS, you are wrong:
[Monica] $ basic hello.bas
[Monica] $ link hello
[Monica] $ run hello
Hello, world.
[Monica] $
[Monica] $ basic
VAX BASIC V3.8-000
Ready
It's an interpreter AND a compiler. (this is OpenVMS 7.2).

I don't know which platform/OS you are considering,
but under OpenVMS, DEC BASIC is both a compiler
and an interpreter.
>I should look at the source...
Not OpenVMS then ...

Could be. Not having used DEC BASIC, myself, I'm not sure :)
I am sure that Turbo Basic was a compiler.

While it's possible that DEC BASIC was an early adopter
of incremental compilation techniques, I don't think so...
I'm pretty sure DEC BASIC is a simple interpreter. I guess
I should look at the source...

Hello,
i recently got an old (1992) 20" monitor of type
SGI/Philips FC20AS. as far as i was able to find out
it is probably a 64kHz fixed frequency model. does
anyone have more information on this critter?
maybe even a Modeline or something like that?
thanks in advance!
regards,
Szabolcs Rumim
