Programmer's Utilities Guide for the CP/M Family of Operating Systems

by d_cymbal＠hotmail.com

Hello All, I recently inherited a Visual 1050 that I am attemping to resurrect. The docs I got include _CP/M Plus (CP/M Version 3) Operating SystemUser's Guide_ from Digital Research. In its forward, this manual mentions that the doc set should also include: _CP/M Plus (CP/M Version 3) Operating System Programmer's Guide_ and _Programmer's Utilities Guide for the CP/M Family of Operating Systems_ I've found online copies of OSPG via google, but haven't found anything concerning the utils guide. Did such it actually exist? Does it exists by some other name? Thanks. dc

IBM 4331 in MA

by r_beaudry＠hotmail.com

Hello all, Here is a list of what's available on that IBM 4331 in Massachusetts... Any idea how much floor space this would use up? Also, does any of it run on standard 120V AC? I realize a truck w/ lift gate would be ideal to haul this, but would any single pieces fit in a pickup truck? I doubt I could take this over, but I have opened communications w/ the current owner. I asked if he would be willing to give away the system, but no reply yet ... Would anyone like help rescuing this system? I'm about an hour away from it... > >1 3803 Tape Control Unit >2 3420 Tape Drives >1 3179 Console >4 3278 Monitors >1 4331 Main Frame(including boot diskette) >4 3340 Disk Drives >13 3340 Disk Packs >1 2821 Control Unit >1 1403 N1 Printer with Print Train >1 2540 Card Reader Punch >3 29 Keypunch >2 83 Card Sorter >1 129 Punch/Verifier > All Cables and Connectors > All Manuals _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

FA: HP 7957/7958 hard drives with HP BASIC and HPL installed

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Hi, I just listed a pair of HP hard drives on E-bay. One is a HP 7958B 155 Mb drive with HPL, BASIC V 4.0, two copies of BASIC V 6.3 and Basic V 5.0 installed and operating. The other is a HP 7957A 80Mb dirve with HFS BASIC 6.3 installed. This drives and software will work with the HP 9000 200 and 300 computers (9826, 9836, 9920, etc) or the drives can be formatted and used on the HP IPC (Intergral personal Computer) or other computers that support CS-80 drives. The 7958 has HPL version 2.0 installed. This is the same language as used on the HP 9825. With it you can run your 9825 SW on a 9826 or other 9000 200.

Hyperion 3032 questions

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Hi All, This past week I picked up a Hyperion model 3032 computer with a low serial number (<800) made in Canada. I found some info on it on the web but not much. Can anyone tell me if this will run PC-DOS? I powered it up and it appears to boot PC DOS 5.0 fine but then I can't get any response from the keyboard so I don't know if it's a DOS problem or hardware problem. Anyone have pinouts or other info on the keyboard port? Joe

The HSZ's talk differential SCSI, could it that these are SE-to-DIFF converters. Will such things work with the HSZ's? I've got two big array's, but they're sitting in storage till we get a house, so I've not been able to experiment with them. Overall, I think I'm green with envy!!! Well, except for that K-Class :^) Zane

Does the same job. Either way you want to make sure the load is secure. IBM stuff will move even with wheel locks and the levelers set down. There is a lot of mass. Paxton Astoria, OR

by gunther＠aurora.regenstrief.org

Hi, here is my report of today's trip: 1 x HP9000K-class HPK400CM long rack with 1 x HP DiskArray with 12 x 2GB drives also in the cabinet 1 x "HP6000 SCSI SE", basically just 2 x DSS2 DAT drives 1 x DEC7620 wow, a 7000 in my garage I have not checked out the inside, don't know my way in those yet, it's all behind closed doors. 1 x DEC3000 looks like the successor to the BA23 uVAX-II 2 x StorageWork cabinets, one long one short. 33 x RZ28B drives (2GB) 2 x RZ29 drives (4GB) 1 x HSZ40B 2 x HSZ40C blessed with tape drives: 1 x TLZ07 DAT 2 x TZ86 DLT III 1 x TZ88 DLT IV 1 x TSZ07 9-track 1 x TZ867 DLT III library 2 x QIC tape drives (150MB, 18 tapes) 2 x VT510 1 x HP Terminal 10+ x "DW22A-AA" boxes, some kind of SCSI converters, they uses lots of those, don't know what for. unfortunately the HP9000 rack tumbled over the DEC3000 during the first mile return trip. I had it all strapped up, but the strap on the HP was too low so it tumbled over it. The HP is not damaged much at all as far as I can see. The DEC3000 has some broken plastic, but still stands fair after I put her back together. The DEC7000 was in the same strap but it didn't fall. It only rolled over to the other side of the truck. Funny. cheers, -Gunther

DUP Problem with RT-11

Jerome Fine replies: After 10 years, I finally (by accident) just tried the correct combination. But it still takes TWO commands to do what should be done with just ONE command: COPY/DEVICE/NOQU DU0: DU1: which results in the following command: COPY/DEVICE/NOQU DU0:/START:0./END:65534. DU1:/START:0. I then followed with this EXPLICIT command (just thought I should try it today and found that it works): COPY/DEVICE DU0:/START:65535./END:65535. DU1:/START:65535. After that I checked the result (actually before and after the previous command): DIFF/BINARY DU0:/START:0./END:65535. DU1:/START:0. and found that the last ONE block COPY command had indeed worked. If you actually read this far and you would like a copy of an enhanced BINCOM, let me know via an e-mail and after I have fixed a few bugs, I will release it for hobby use. The DEC distributed version of BINCOM does NOT have the ability to read block 65535. Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine -- If you attempted to send a reply and the original e-mail address has been discontinued due a high volume of junk e-mail, then the semi-permanent e-mail address can be obtained by replacing the four characters preceding the 'at' with the four digits of the current year.
