How do you do this? I am interested.
What floppy controller do you use? I am assuming it is for the ISA bus?
Anything for a PCI bus.
Anything for EISA, I am keeping one EISA bus system.

Thanks for the tip on the D Bit FDADAP. I will probably get one as I think it
meets my criteria. I am not particular interested in reading DEC RX01 & 02s.
Those I will pass onto the list as I find them.
My main interest is in CPM systems and disks of which I have several.
Also I wonder if it will work with intel development system disks.
Thanks again for the leads. I will look at the CPM FAQ too.

Hi, folks. I'm starting a vacation this Saturday with a few days in
Manhattan. Are there good classic computing or telecommunications
museums, or other interesting sites, there? I know IBM used to have a
museum in Manhattan, but I never got to see it -- I'd hate to miss
something else just before it closed.
Any help is appreciated, and I'll gladly take pictures and/or send
postcards for those who are interested :-)

I really could use a bit of help. I have been trying to reach Martijn Kruger
of Retro Computing Unlimited. I was corresponding with him and then haven't
heard from him. Not sure if I said something wrong but he was helping me find
some technical manuals. If anyone can reach him or knows how I should contact
him, please let me know.
Thanks
Kurt
Dear All,
We have received a lot of old DecServer 700 but we are looking for the
WWENG2.SYS image ;-)
We have looked around the old digital ftp server, but there is only
the pr0801eng.sys (not really useful).
Where can we get the WWENG2.SYS image for the DecServer ? What is the
software licensing for this image ? Is it linked to hardware or was it
a separate product from Digital ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I recently picked up a PDP11/34 for restoration from a surplus dealer and
spotted at the same time an Interdata Model 74 gathering dust. Needless to
say, I managed to get this as part of the deal..
I'd like to try to restore this back to working condition, but my various
searches for information on early Interdata models seems to have born little
fruit.
Does anyone have any information, documentation, engineering diagrams for
this machine?
Thanks,
Toby
I ran across your 11/4/02 post about leaking capacitors. We have two
(so far) PCs afflicted. What scares the crap out of me is that we have
a number of them at customers as voicemail servers. You said you
replaced with AV22 and AV18, and we'd like to find out if that'll work
for us. I also read at overclockers how to replace capacitors. I
believe both the PCs are 700 mhz Celeron running Windows XP.
I'd appreciate any advice you can give us.

Well, I found someone with a Tandy 6000 keyboard to sell and it should be on
it's way to me tomorrow. Unfortunately, when it gets here, I will have
nothing to use it for, as I accidentally wiped XENIX completely off my
6000's internal hard disk while trying to format a secondary *external* hard
disk. I will never again assume that a program named 'hdinit' will actually
ask me *which* disk to erase, nor that it will ask for *ANY* kind of
confirmation before wiping the internal hard disk...
So I am now in the market for some Tandy XENIX distribution disks for
version 3.whatever. I don't know the exact version number of the OS that was
for the 6000 specifically. Also, should anyone have the Multiuser BASIC
disks, or Profile for XENIX disks, those were lost as well... I didn't have
any of the original disks for anything dealing with the 6000.
I'd also like to get my hands on something my system never had, whose
absence was very noticeable - the XENIX Development System, which contains
things like the C compiler, mail, and many other things I don't consider
optional in a UNIX-based system.
Any help is greatly appreciated...

Ok you funny talking folks on the upside-down island, you have a job to
do:
Chips are down for computer museum
http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/05/19/1053196515142.html
The Australian Computer Museum Society is about to lose its space and
needs 1,000 square meters to move its collection into. They have to find
something within 6 weeks because they say it'll take six months to move
their collection, and they must be out bu January 1, 2004.
