Oh? I thought their only major drawback was in their heavy water experiments. A nice scientific CAD setup for modelling the molecule might have put them years ahead of us... > -----Original Message----- > From: cctalk-admin@classiccmp.org@PEUSA On Behalf Of "Eric > Smith" <eric(a)brouhaha.com> > Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 5:19 PM > To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org > Subject: Re: Trivia Question > > Jim Battle wrote: > > I was thinking more along the lines of computing ballistics, > > Computing ballistics would have been some help, but nowhere near enough > to change the outcome. > > > and advancing their nuclear program. > > Their "nuclear program" had serious defficiencies that wouldn't have > been solved by more computing power.

QBUS SCSI controller for RT-11

by mbg＠TheWorld.com

>I noticed an auction on eBay for a KZQSA-SA SCSI controller and I was >wondering (silly me) if it could be used with RT-11. I know that RT-11 is >much older than this board, but I was hoping someone had written a driver >for it. There never was a driver written for it, at least not by DEC. If I had had the documentation, I probably would probably have tried it, since I did lots of handler work. In fact, if someone has clear and complete documentation for it, and a board to play with, I would not be adverse at trying my hand at it.

They may have had some odd customs, and they may have made some things "law" that were really tradition, but thats no reason to reject everything "religious", such as the principles that this nation was founded on. America was *NOT* founded by Christians. I'm very tired of hearing that drumbeat. The founding fathers, if anything, were DEISTs, and/or ceremonialisyts, and well knew the inherent dangers of including or even nodding to support any one religion over another in this country and its government - something our modern-day right-wing Christian brothers and sisters either don't know or won't learn. A state religion here would indeed be as dangerous to US national growth and development as is has proven all over the middle east. Remember: prior to 1979, Iran didn't have either a "state religion," or a theocracy. Now it does. Was there an improvement? Cheers...

Today, news isn't about Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite. Its about money, looking good, keeping up the ratings, and, just occasionally, a slanted nod to what's going on in the world. "Truth" went the way of the wind with (maybe before) Kennedy... Cheers! Ed San Antonio, Tx, USA [demime 1.01a removed an attachment of type application/ms-tnef]

Let the witch trials begin!

by Edward.Tillman＠valero.com

Since we're on points like this one, does anyone out there remember the the first shots of the '86 Challenger disaster? One chase plane scene showed for about 1/2 a day on CNN, as if it were normal and planned, then simply disappeared. It *hadn't* anything to do with the SRBs... Did anyone see? Does anyone remenber? Off list responses preferred... Cheers!

C64View updates

by spectre＠stockholm.ptloma.edu

The Macintosh port of C64View, a freeware cross-platform Commodore 64 image viewer, has been updated. This new version features drag-and-drop operation and improved UI, as well as correcting OS X compatibility bugs and introducing a new Classic version for 68K Macintoshes and non-Carbon Power Macs. It preserves the Mac-specific converter capability, allowing you to convert your Commodore images into PICT files for import to your favourite Mac application. C64View's DOS version is also still available, and is compatible with Win32 as well as DOS 5.0 and up. You can capture the DOS version screen in Windows to export images, or use your favourite screen-grab TSR. C64View supports KoalaPainter, Doodle!, 8K bitmaps (including Flexidraw and Print Shop Screen Magic) and 1K colourmaps. Sample images are included. Download from http://www.armory.com/%7Espectre/cwi/c64view/ C64View is freeware. -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * ckaiser(a)stockholm.ptloma.edu -- All wiyht.

TRS-80 Model 4 help requested

by doug_jackson＠citadel.com.au

>The earliest 1.2M drive that I saw (before the AT) was a >Mitsubishi 4854? >I was told that it had had been designed for the explicit purpose of >replacing 8" drives. It did NOT also have a "360K" mode. I still have some M4854 drives that are in use to this day! My *first* computer that I saved up for was a Pulsar Electronics Little Big Board system (Z80 - 64K, STD bus, 8" drive interface, CP/M 2.2) The neat thing was that I had dual 5.25" M4854 drives that provided 2.4Mb online while all of my friends had dual 360K drives..... Anyway, I digress, The M4854 was an 8" drive replacement. Motor speed was ?300? rpm, not the usual 360rpm with the 5.25" drives. The hardist thing about it was that it did not have a 50pin connector.
