I may have information about this... depends on which game you are
thinking about... can you describe it?

What model PS/1 do they belong to? I would love to get a copy from the

OK, it took some looking through the archive, but knowing it was on the tape
helped (I really wish there was an index for this site).
ftp://mvb.saic.com/disk%24misc/decus/VAX84C/CONSAD/ST84/
It mostly builds under OpenVMS 7.2-1H1/Alpha using Compaq Fortran
V7.4-1341-46ACJ and the /OLD_F77 flag. Unfortunatly it looks to be missing
at least a few of the files needed to build it (TREK84.FOR, TREK84.FDL, and
the VARDICT.* files at a minimum).
Based on the doc's this looks like a very interesting version! Unfortunatly
it doesn't seem to be online anywhere else.

There's always Digital/Compaq/HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS.

Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org
I had this idea for a keyboard adapter for classic machines, but I
don't understand the 40-pin "keyboard BIOS" microcontroller well
enough to know if it's possible...
So... is there a good place (on the web) to learn about the
"keyboard BIOS" chip? Alternatively, is there already a project
like this that I can clone? If anyone has any examples of how
to attach a PeeCee keyboard to a 68000 or 6502 directly, without
going through a UART, I guess I'd be interested in that, too; but
since I was already planning on sticking a Z8530 or 6551 or 16550
chip on the OMNIBUS board anyway, I might as well use the same
serial port for all embedded console I/O.
Thanks for any pointers,
-ethan

Hi
As Fred says, it is much better to clean these properly.
Cleaning disk are just a patch for hard to reach drives and
shouldn't be use when you can get to the heads.
It is something like pouring STP in an engine to
fix leaky valve seals. It doesn't really fix it but
it seems to go away for a while.

I went looking through the DECUS stuff. On VAX84C there is ST84 which is
billed as the ultimate Star Trek game.
Leafing through a catalogue, there's:
WORLD on V00036
DODGEM on V00039
MTREK on V00087
TREK.BAS on V00282
VAXstation games on V00322 (obviously unlikely to be text based ...)
UNO on V00401
HACK on V00526
An Othello game on VS0175
DROIDS on VAX91B
Some of these should be available directly from the decus (now encompass)
web site. I expect I have *some* of them on tape in the attic (time to move
>from 9-track, TK50/70 and DAT to CDROM I guess ...)
