Well, I was hoping I would get lucky with this one, since it's more like a scientific calculator than a computer. It's a very long (for a calculator) dot matrix lcd. One single line, or maybe two, of good characters, at a relatively low resolution.

TRS-80 pocket (Was: I'm looking for ___, will trade ___.)

by Robert_Feldman＠jdedwards.com

Unfortunately, the only handy source for LCD screens for pocket/palmtops is another palmtop (i.e., one that is broken in some other way. The screens generally were custom ordered, and are not found on the surplus market. This is certainly the case for the HP LX palmtops. Thaddeus Computing, the main repair center in the US for the LX, cannibalizes broken units for parts to fix ones sent to them for repairs. -----Original Message----- From: Christopher Smith [mailto:csmith@amdocs.com] Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 10:02 AM To: 'classiccmp(a)classiccmp.org' Subject: TRS-80 pocket (Was: I'm looking for ___, will trade ___.) <snip> This reminds me... I have a "pocket" computer, which is, as far as I can tell, nearly identical to the above TRS-80, except made by some other company. (Don't remember which) Does anyone know a source for LCD screens for these things? My screen is cracked, and I'd actually like to use this thing again. <snip>

Fwd: Commodore C64, related equipment - contact original owner, not me

by ethan_dicks＠yahoo.com

Philip has given me permission to post his information to the list. As is typical with these sorts of deals, please contact him directly, not me. The stuff is in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for the curious. It's too far for me to go for ordinary stuff. -ethan --- Philip Buzzell <ph.buzz(a)prodigy.net> wrote: > From: "Philip Buzzell" <ph.buzz(a)prodigy.net> > To: <erd(a)iname.com> > Subject: Commodore C64, related equipment > Date: Wed, 20 Mar 2002 18:05:43 -0800 > Organization: Prodigy Internet > > Dear Ethan - > > If you, or someone you know has a use for some Commodore equipment I have > some I would gladly part with ---- for free.

Source code for 805x line-by-line assembler?

Funny- that's what I thought the BASIC version was for... Personal preference here is for the traditional macro assembler generating .HEX files... SIMTEL has quite an extensive collection of software for the 8031/8032/8051/8052 and derivatives... -dq

Often misquoted... as Al Kossow can testify to, the primary use of the Cray was for mold-flow analysis. Ever wonder why Mac plastic cases don't crack as much as other trash? -dq

HELP! RA81 power sequencing jumper, where the heck is that?

by petersv＠psv.nu

On Fri, 22 Mar 2002, Gunther Schadow wrote: > Whatever. Who can tell me where this power sequencing jumper > is so that I can set it to being the first to spin up? The power sequencing jumper is a small round plug with four pins that are placed in a contact near the black data cables. I can't quite picture the RA81 now, but I think one of the connectors is to the left of the data cables and one on to the right of them. They should be labeled "in" and "out". The power sequencing forms a chain through the use of power sequencing cables such that the first drive in the chain (the one with the jumper instead of a cable on "in") starts first, then the next one and so on. The jumper is about 5cm long, 1cm in diamater I think, usually black with a silvery threaded ring that holds it in position. Peter -- Peter Svensson !

Seymour Cray Lecture

by brian＠quarterbyte.com

Hey y'all ... I just found a web-based version of a lecture Gordon Bell gave about Seymour Cray in 1997. It's wonderful. http://www.research.microsoft.com/users/gbell/craytalk/sld001.htm There are detailed notes under many of the slides. The last slide is hilarious and kind of touching. brian =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- _| _| _| Brian Knittel / Quarterbyte Systems, Inc. _| _| _| Tel: 1-510-559-7930 Fax: 1-510-525-6889 _| _| _| Email: brian(a)quarterbyte.com _| _| _| http://www.quarterbyte.com
