What kind of monitors can be used with the Vaxstation models (2000, 3100, etc)? I know there are different flavors of Vaxstation graphics - monochrome, "GPX", etc. Which is the easiest to deal with monitor-wise? Can an adapter be built to use a standard multi-syncable VGA monitor? Thanks for any info. - Bob

Source for Jiffydos for Commodore 64-SX?

by florit＠unixville.com

I've a Commodore 64-SX (the portable) and I was toying with the idea of updating its kernel/bios/rom/whateveritscalledonthere so that it could stretch out the life of its floppy drive. There was a company called CMD that produced a replacement called JiffyDOS that worked around lots of the slow repetitive speed transfer problems >from the disk drives. It doesn't seem like they're selling the chips anymore. Anyone have a source for these, or failing that, someone have a recipe for doing this sort of thing? L

Commodore floppy drives; faster than you can type

by sieler＠allegro.com

Hi, I recall reading a line on/near/inside a Commodore 64 SX box advertising that their floppy disk drive: "Reads data faster than you can type". Is my memory playing tricks on me, or did Commodore really use such a line (or something quite similar)? Any pointers would be appreciated. BTW, I wasn't convinced that it *could* read data faster than I could type :) thanks, StanStan Sieler sieler(a)allegro.com www.allegro.com/sieler/wanted/index.html www.allegro.com/sieler

Of course I used a DEC cable with BNC connnectors to hook up to the monitor. Personally I prefer a VT420 on my VAXen to a Monitor. I even end up using a VT420 on most of my Alpha's. Zane

Hi I doubt you'll find a computer inside. This is a scale model for wind tunnel testing, not a complete shuttle.

Wanted: Kaypro 2'84/2x

by acme_ent＠bellsouth.net

That's a shame! A couple of years back I asked the classiccmp list what was the "best" CP/M machine, and the overwhelming answer was "Kaypro." I like mine. It's rock-solid, and applications, compilers, etc. are easy to find. The disk i/o is slow, though. > From what I've heard, though, Kaypros are pretty > standard circuitry and shouldn't be hard to repair. Yes. I have the 84/2X schematics and I'll be happy to scan and email them to the OP if he/she will contact me offlist. Glen 0/0

Motorola S-record converter source for new project

ard(a)p850ug1.demon.co.uk (Tony Duell) wrote: > If it's that much work to get it to compile, it's going to be less work > to write my own from scratch. Hence my review alongside the pointer. I was turned onto this thing by someone who likes to run a recent release from Red Hat, and look what it got me: a reason to do that OS upgrade I'd been putting off. Once I did that, getting SRecord to compile was as easy as I'd been expecting, and it even worked and did what I wanted done. I expect that most folks running Linux/*BSD have installed or upgraded within the last two years and so have a sufficiently new version of gcc at this point, but I also expect that you (and other folks on this list) might not. -Frank McConnell
