I rather thought they used ASCII text, sometimes strained through ANSI for
color, but ASCII was the primary character set/map.

IBM had a standard for text based user interfaces. Systems Architecure
blah blah..
Many of the DOS6.2 programs exibit this user interface, like "Edit" and
perhaps "Qbasic"
What was that called??
Thanks.

Hi,
Can someone please help me.
I have a Commodore 16 computer without Power Supply.
I understan it requires 9VDC source at 1A.
What is the polarity of the connector? Is plus (+) on the center pin or on the sleeve?
Thanks

Take a look at <http://www.spies.com/~arcade/TE/> -- there are
links there to the documentation for the 29A and Unipak 2.
Mine seems to think it is OK (passes self test), but it does weird
things sometimes, especially when I switch from reading one device
type to another. Looks like when I do that, I should cycle power and
put it back in remote mode, else the next read will either fail with
an error or fail silently by only reading part of the device. So,
trust but verify.

A while back I offered an old Motorola 6871A clock chip for the 6800 - it
went fast. Now I dug up an MC6870A - apparently the same thing, but
slower (614.4 KHz). Anyone need it for pocket change and shipping? $3.00
cash gets it to your door. Act quickly, as in ten days I am going on
vacation!

Just stumbled onto a message posted on Nov 7, 2002, in which you mentioned
having some UYK-20 machines.
Should you have any left, or locate any more of the -20's or -44's, please
add me to the list. Being a true diehard collecter, I
might also consider coming and picking up something bigger: UYK-7, Univac
1218, CP-642, etc. Just depends on the price and the timing.
Thanks,

We were buying it from Staples and Office Depot up until recently. As of
when we stopped buying it, they were still carrying it (we just upgraded
our system and moved to printing to a laser printer... MUCH cheaper).
I am pretty sure Staples still sells it. Its kind of pricey. IIRC, it was
about $50 or $60 for a box.

Take it to private email please, both of you.
On a more on-topic note, is anyone well versed in troubleshooting/repair of
a Data I/O 29A w/Unipak 2? Mine is sick and I'm not sure where to start :\

Well I have my 9134A connected to an HP-87 and when the system boots
it recognizes the hard disk automatically, so that you can just type
a CAT commend and see the directory listing.
One question, I assume that you have set the two address switches
on the back to *different* addresses (e.g. HP-IB addr 0 for the hard
disk and addr 1 for the floppy). So if you try to do a CAT on the
floppy address, do you still get a timeout?

Hi,
I've got a IUP201a programmer with a Fast27K module which works fine. I'm
seeking docs on them.
I can upload hex files from a PC via serial port but I know that it is
possible to download from programmer to PC via serial port. Widely it is
possible to command programmer from host but I need command language.

Dear Mr. Arnold:
I found your name through a Google search for TIL-308 numeric displays. You
were in some kind of web discussion concerning replacing the TIL-307/307
displays with TIL-308 displays. You mentioned that you had a small quantity
of TIL-308s. We are looking for a few of these displays. Are they still
available and, if so, what is the price?
Thanks,
