I found an IBM M$-DOS 1.0 manual (no disks sadly)
It comes in a three ring binder, and is quite funny to read, esp the errata.

I have been looking for a Calcomp incremental plotter and found one
in Bremerton, Washington but it is pickup only. Since I'm on the other
coast that isn't too practical. Is anybody nearby that might be interested
in picking it up and mailing it FedEx ground to me for some $?
Thanks,

http://www.pdp8.net/ -- Run an old computer with blinkenlights.
Before the new year I had a lead on some parts and
said I would reveal what they were after I won or lost
the bid on them. Well I won.
What I got was a lot of EuroBeeb cards and parts.
For those that don't know the EuroBeeb was a BBC
Micro compatible computer but in a EuroCard (160mm
x 100mm) format. As well as the standard CPU, VDU
and I/O cards theer are a lot of digital I/O cards, analog
I/O cards and some specials such as EPROM programmers.
I also got the documentation for all the cards, the only
thing I'm short of is some of the system software.
For those who want to look there are some pictures at ..

Foil, or any metallic reflector, can produce hot spots. A large piece of
white poster board works better.
A trick for photographing reflective surfaces is to use a black sheet _in
front of_ the subject, and shoot with the lens sticking through a hole in
the sheet. In this way, you don't get your own reflection in the picture.
Hair spray also works, but might be hard to clean off. Spray laundry starch
might also work, but I haven't tried it.
Watch for glare off chip surfaces, which can make part numbers unreadable.
The trick is to have the light coming in at an angle that does not reflect
into the lens. A common setup is two (or 4) lights, one on either side, at a
45 degree angle (with the camera perpendicular to the subject). In this way,
the fall-off from the light on one side is balanced by the opposite fall-off
of the light on the other side, so the illumination is even across the
subject.
For 3D objects, it is customary to have the (brightest) light coming from
the upper left, so the shadows are on the lower right.
Sean's last comment is a good one -- keep taking pictures until you get good
ones. The only added cost is in your time, but then why take the time to
produce a poor picture?

A large piece of cardboard covered in aluminum foil makes a good
reflector, and to reduce glare on monitors you may want to try hairspray.
Professional photographers use it to reduce glare on glasses so it might be
worth trying on a monitor if you don't think it'll hurt it.

If it's a digital camera, go wild with the pictures. Take lots of
pictures; more than you think you need. Then select the best from the lot.
Why not? It's not like you have to pay for developing the pictures.

Hello there, for those interested I've got a SEIKOSHA SP1000VC with the
C-64 cable. It has not operated in many years since I sold my c-64 a
very long time ago. But it worked flawlessly and hasn't been dropped or
abused since. For those interested I am asking for the first good offer
over $40us. E-mail me if your interested.
PETER K.
Look,
Just tell me how to remove my name. Please. I can never give any information
or help anyone. I am older and not interested. I have poor vision and to
delete so many emails is more than I can deal with. Someone help me get
unsubscribed...Please

The Mentec Hobbyist license is *broken*. Clause 1. says:
'EMULATOR shall mean software owned by Digital Equipment Corporation that
emulates the operation of a PDP-11 processor and allows PDP-11 programs and
operating systems to run on non-PDP-11 systems.'
It's crystal-clear; you can't run under the hobbyist license except on a
emulator which is *owned by Digital*.
There ARE no emulators 'owned by Digital' (or Compaq or HP for that matter).
So the Mentec license is no help to anyone who wants to run pdp-11 OSes on
emulation (SIMH, E11 etc), and stay 100% legal. It's no help at all as
regards running on acutal -11 hardware.
It's a very wierd term to have in a license... I guess this term is a
hangover from the days when Bob Supnik was still at DEC, and SIMH might have
become an official DEC project.
