Yesterday I picked up a PDP-11/24 in Maryland. Here is what I know about
this machine currently:
CPU: PDP-11/24
Disks: 2 RL02's, 1 RA-80
Expansion box with M9400-YE, M9401 connectors
I also got an RL02 data cartrided labeled 'RSX-11', but it appears to have
suffered a head crash.
Does anyone have some (preferally images of) Osborne Executive CP/M disks?
Also, what format does it use, and is it possible to use an Osborne 1 boot
disk to boot an Exec?
Thanks for the help

I acquired a little while back a Sharp PC-3000. I am very enamored of it and
it's possibilities. Similar to the HP95 and will use the same memory card
only with a more-manageable KB.
In researching it I found it came out in 91/92 and was a follow-up to the Atari
Portfolio. The UK company (DIP) that designed the Portfolio and this follow-
up model, offered it to Atari, which had it's own problems at that time, who
declined it and then Sharp snapped it up.
Sellam gave info on a Sharp PC-5000 he was selling and Joe R. on a
PC-7000. These model #'s make no sense at all as I believe both of these
came out before the 3K. Anyone with any insight ? Or is it just that computer
makers use no logical system for model #'s

Hey, that'd be cool. I was searching for CP/M 8000 for quite some
time.
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).

I'm currently downloading it. The connection appears to be rather
slow?

Hi All!
I've created a list `xyplex' on my list machine for the purpose of
allowing those of us with Xyplex hardware to get together and help each
other understand/rescue terminal servers and whatever else Xyplex made.
It's a majordomo list, so kick a message to:
mailto:majordomo@lists.uninterruptible.net
with
subscribe xyplex
in the body. You'll get a confirmation message and then be added to the
list. See you there!

If you have an HP 85B then you *need* the HP 85 version of the ROM,
the HP-87 version will not work.
This ROM is EXTREMELY rare, so don't bank on finding one. Its probably
better to try to find an older drive (e.g. the HP 9134A/9135A hard drive)
rather than trying to get your HP-85B to work with the newer drives.
If however, you do find an EMS ROM, please let me know. I'd like to
try to get a copy of the ROM image so that I can xfer it to
an EPROM and then try to interface this to the HP-85 bus (non trivial
since its 6V based).
Best Regards

Are you sure about that? it was a standard SHugart drive in those
beasts. and the II disks were useable in the 12 16 and 6000.
