I came to the conclusion that it newer existed (since there is a 8086
addon card for the M20 which can run CP/M86 and I finally thought that
people mixed up that version with a native 8000 one).

It exists. The port was actually done by Zilog of CP/M-68K, including
converting the utilities written in PLH to C, then given to DR to
distribute. If you look at the BIOS listings in the manual, all of
the code is written by people at Zilog.
My Magic Sac 1 cartridge for the Atari ST has two
Macintosh ROMs inside: 342-0220-A and 342-0221-A.
Does anyone know what Macintosh they go to?
Does anyone know how to poke the ST so I can
read the ROMs in ST address space?
I am kinda hoping that these are for the original
Macintosh because I've wanted a ROM dump of that
computer for a long time.

I'd be interested.

This is typically a clock problem. You don't have a working clock in
your
system.

What emulations have you heard of under Linux.
I think I heard about a copy of Bob Suptnik's PDP-11...

Hello,
I recently picked up a Lear Siegler ADM 5 terminal and, like
most of my acquisitions, it did not come with any manuals.
Does anyone know of a User Reference Manual for this
terminal in electronic form? I'd also settle for a paper copy
if anyone has one they'd like to duplicate. Hardware/Service
manuals would also be gratefully accepted.
Cheers,
Dan
I am trying to prepare an Eagle in an 11/73. I have a Webster WQSMD
controller and can now get into the firmware.
(By the way it's the same as the WQESD controller!)
I am unsure about some of the drive specification the controller needs to
know about ;)
Can anyone help on the following - the values in [] are what I am trying
Cylinders [842]
Heads [20]
Full Sectors per track [46]
Short sectors [0]
Unit size is offered at 77367
When formating the drive it counts cylinders from 0 to 842 when writing
headers and then says Format Complete. It then starts writing data and
hangs with the repeating message Block : 46 sector not found
Any thoughts?

Relying on an external library - whose functionality changes, with an OS
upgrade or some such. It's not an exact parallel, of course. Better
software design (and keeping more of the functionality inside the code you
write) can mitigate the likelihood of this happening to some extent. And of
course, it won't happen as long as *none* of the software involved
(including the OS) gets "upgraded".
