I've made good on one of my long-standing threats and created a small
implementation of the vi editor for the C64.
svicc features an extended subset of nex/nvi commands and is designed to
integrate well with Commodore BASIC. It supports many basic motion,
editing and positioning commands and includes a number of Commodore-specific
features, including a built-in disk wedge. Almost all 38K of the BASIC
text space is available for documents.
The web page also details how to use svicc to build self-displaying
documents.
Basic documentation is built-in to svicc, and the web page has a complete
reference intended for current vi addicts.
svicc is freeware. Have fun. Comments appreciated, including its performance
with accelerator cartridges and the SuperCPU.

I'm looking for someone in the US with a L5-30 receptacle or an adapter so
that I can plug my L5-30-plugged DEC 861PC Power Controller into a standard
wall outlet. Thanks!

It seemed to me before I called up someone out on the east coast and
bought a VAX-11/750 for $150=/- then spent $250 or so shipping it that I
should try the list. I want a VAX 11/750 for old times sake and as a
peripheral for my pdp-11s... anyone have one for sale/trade/...?
Thought I'd rather a local had the money to buy inflated pdp-8 spares or
something than giving it all to a shipping company.
I'm located in santa Cruz CA and am willing to pick up within a couple
hundred miles.
I would really like to get out of this for less than $400 (really $250
seems like a fair price(that's what they sold the one I ran out from
under me when the funding ran out and I was on vacation for (rant ends))
but I'll take what I can get)
further, I have much of a card set and a power supply or two, so if I
get a incomplete one that's O.K.
thanks,

sorry about the joining in of the rant/flame thing RE:politics, I can
usually restrain myself but sometimes when it goes on... and to respond
to the digest-delayed list makes it worse I know(I've at least changed
the last bit)
I've got a line on some "early run" Harris 6100 CPUs (with data sheets)
in "unmarked ceramic packages" for $10 per. I'm interested in one or
two for some odd reason (I guess I want one or two of everything, when
you come right down to it. . . :) but the seller has about 10-12 for
sale.
Is anyone else interested in these? Are they worth the $10? I'll be
happy to be the clearinghouse on these for anyone who is interested
(I'll buy them and forward them along for cost.)

Is it just me, or does this sound like the question the whole world is
asking the current administration?

why not, that's what we use it for.

CUT THE CRAP. SHUT UP. SHUSH.
Now, get back to your old puters and do something useful again.

I thought the oil leaks were the anti-rust system :)

Please consider your mechanical connections and the duty cycle of
this Adaptation.
I have an air conditioned cruiser I keep on Lake Erie. It has two
L5-30 125 V marine power feeds that come to a power distribution
panel. Current ( and voltage) is constantly monitored on analog meters
(two per feed, -one Volts - one Amps.)
The one feed that runs only the Air Conditioner, averages 9 Amps
and the other house circuit, which has a battery charger and
refrigerater on it, average 5 AMPs so I thought One 30A Cable
could supply the boat. ( got tired of the mess of two cables
draped over the bow and decks - spider habitat! )
After a couple seasons, I made a splitter out of 10 Ga stranded
copper wire using heavy set screw terminal lugs for the split
connectors. I ran one 30 Amp cable 30 feet to the splitter. and then
let the 20 inch splitter, split the feeds. I used all top
quality 'Hubbell" marine connectors for the terminal receptical(s) &
outlet(S) on the single feed cable and the splitter.
Just this last season I left Air conditioner running for about two
of the hottest weeks in September ( freakish -Indian summer). When I
went to cast off the lines for a Fall trip to the Islands, the
terminal connections on each end of the single feed cable failed due
to heat. Un-twististing the twist lock at the remote receptical end
was tough, then the Ground and Hot blades pulled out of the plug
end at the dock outlet. I had to switch off the dock breaker and
extract the blade components using needle nose pliers.
My Point is the 30 Amp feed cable (the oldest component) perhaps
had some vibration, or corrosion, compromised mechanical connections.
Which over time (2 weeks) created enough heat to compromise ( melt)
the quality parts. All my parts were rated at 30 amps, and I knew my
usage was less than 19 Amps! ( If I was not in a hurry to take the
splitter with me, the parts may have cooled and re-set (solidified)
rather than than pulling apart. But it was truly an education in
real world failure modes of decently rated parts.
If you are adapting down to a 15- 20 amp plug, you will still need
to be EVER mindful of the physical condition, and operating
temperatures of any mechanical connections you make.

that I have. Here's the list, with the page number of the article, if I have
it, and the author. If anyone has these issues and is willing to scan/copy
these article parts, please contact me off-list. Thanks.
