Hi,
A few days ago I picked up a very nice Tektronix 466 storage
oscilloscope, complete with service manual. Catch is, I don't have the
operator's manual. The service manual is thick with schematics and parts
manifests, a fair bit of technical info ("this part does x function", etc).
No real information on how to actually *use* this thing. I've worked out
what 90% of the controls do by trial and error (that, plus the fact I used
another scope before this one), but the storage section and some of the
trigger section still eludes me...
Scanned images or photocopy prefered, original manual would be even
better.
Also, it seems to be missing the blue cover that goes over the front
panel and a set of Tek 1x/10x probes that were supposed to come with it.
Anyone got a 466 as a junker they wouldn't mind parting out? I've been told
Tek abandoned this scope a long time ago...
Thanks.

I'm suffering from what one might call the
"first program" problem. That is, I want to
download CP/M programs (editor, assembler,
and BASICK for starters) from the 'net and
transfer them from my PC to my "CP/M"
machine (A Commie 128 running CP/M+) to save
on floppy for later use.
I can boot CP/M+ on Commie, but the distribution
is very minimal. It doesn't even include ED.
It does have PIP, if this is useful, but no
MAC, BASIC, or any other goodies that might be
used to pull in xmodem or some other
file transfer program into the machine and
thus create a mechanism for transferring binary
files into the machine from the PC.
This must be a common problem, but
surprisingly a web search yielded little insight
on how to get the "first file" in.
My extreme ignorance of CP/M at this point in time
is not helpful either.
With Apples, I know there was a trick to
basically feed a BASIC program in from the
serial port as if it were entered by the
keyboard. With Commie-doors, there's the XE1541 cable and
software to do the trick (but I don't think it can write MFM
as needed by C128 CP/M mode.)
Is there any similar "tricks" for CP/M?
Without an assembler I would need to get a
binary file into the CP/M floppy somehow.
I don't have a 5 1/4" floppy drive in any PC
but would consider scouring the Junque places
for one if that could write files on my PC
readable on CP/M.
Or maybe I'm missing something and it's all
so simple that nobody bothers to document it?
Thanks for any clues. I want to be conversant
with CP/M. Something to put on my resume. ;)

which is surely very
common but oddly websearches have yielded no real insight as
to how to fix it.
Hi all:
I have the following which I'd like to sell:
1> VR201-C PRO or Rainbow monitor - no burn visible
but I can't test it without a Pro or Rainbow.
2> Amdek Color II Plus compatible CGA/EGA monitor -
working no burn - built April 1984.
3> IBM 5154, M/N 5154001 PC EGA monitor - works but
has a failing transformer - no burn - built 07 1987
I'd like to get $10 OBO for each, plus shipping.

Most of the commodore stuff has been claimed, but the claimant wasn't "as
interested" in the following items; so they're still available (for a short
time, this stuff's gotta go...) :
=-=-=
Shipping from 49783; have a "Pack -n- ship" place next door, so there is
usually a surcharge to normal UPS/Fedex prices (being next door, we usually
get a bit of a break, however).
All of these items are "condition unknown" - they were given to me, and
I've never had 'em hooked up. No warranties, and all that jazz.
(1) MPS802 printer - in original box with original styrofoam; ready to ship
(just needs to be taped up) - looks to be in really good shape, but that's
just looks...
(1) MPS802 printer - no box, no top cover.
The stuff's gotta go ASAP, so unforch, it's first come, first served...

OT blurb: I have a PlayStation 1 available with some interesting goodies;
$100 shipped; contact me off-list if interested.

I've just finished putting a bunch of stuff on E-bay that may interest this group. (I know, I know, but I have to try and keep this hobby self-supporting).
Items include a Sharp PC-7000 Portable computer, some DRI C language manuals, a couple of HP 9815 interfaces, a RAID controller for IDE drives, a SUN type 5 mechanical mouse, a National Instruments VME GP-IB interface and lots of other odds and ends.

Hi
I find it easier to white a simple serial to memory routine
and then use SAVE to create the image files. One doesn't
have to worry about handshake since the program can run at
full speed. Since this is a true image, one can transfer
.HEX or .COM files without dealing with LOAD that is not
built into the command processor.

I just moved my '200 boardset into what used to be a BA440 expansion
chassis, and now I need to replace the MVII-style console bulkhead. If
anyone has one they'd be willing to get rid of/trade for, let me know.
Thanks!

I wanted to get this for the documentation, but I'm not going to
be able to deal with this by the end of the month, which is when
it has to be gone.
If someone can get it out of there, let me know.
