IBM 1401 on eBay Germany

by cheri-post＠web.de

Hi all ! Check out this auction: http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2735735348&category=21926 On the picture, you can see the hole mainframe as it is sold. The olny thing is, that the seller doesn't say if the machine still works. Wow, I thought that auctions like these only exist in the states...

There's an undocumented command option to enter the F(ail) but I don't know of one to enter I(gnore). Use /F with the Shell command in the Config.sys file.

Magnetic Memory making a comeback?

My favorite is that the re-entry heat shields on early missions were not ceramic, like ours, but were made of green oak. -----Original Message----- From: TeoZ [mailto:teoz@neo.rr.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 3:17 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Magnetic Memory making a comeback? <snip> Some of the things the russians did were low tech but usefull. <snip>

Digital circuit notation conventions

by vaxzilla＠jarai.org

I figure this is at least somewhat on topic. I've been reading through _The Art of Digital Design_ by Prosser and Winkel [1] to with the intention of building the PDP-8/I clone project outlined in the book. I skipped ahead to the meaty chapters outlining the design of the system; I found myself pleasantly surprised. I can say that I've a reasonable understanding of how it all works. I can certainly understand the fascination people have with the "8"; it's not that hard at all to wrap one's brain around it. Having satisified myself that I'm up to the task, I've now moved to reading the initial chapters so I'll understand the basics. There are a few rough spots where I feel the authors impatiently gloss over some of the topics. And then there's one section in the second chapter where they basically deride "postive logic" and "negative logic" notation conventions as evil while promoting what they claim to be their own "mixed logic" convention. Methought they protested /a bit/ too much, and not being familiar with what it proper or put into practive, I pulled out Horowitz and Hill [2] to see what they had to say. From what I can tell, they seem to be advocates of "assertion-level logic" notation--which looks to be the same as Prosser and Winkel's mixed logic. What I'm wondering is whether mixed logic and assertion-level logic notations are in fact the same, and then which notation convention(s) are most commonly found in practice. It was only a decade ago that I had my intro to digital logic design lectures and labs, but I don't remember there being any discussion of different notation conventions. Then again, it's possible that ten years worth of software knowledge has squeezed out what hardware bits we covered. -brian.

Help Installing LA75 Printer on 11/23 under RT-11

by skidmore＠worldvenue.org

I just acquired an 11/23 with RT-11 5.03. It has a DZV11-A board that I would like to use to interface a LA75 serial printer. Running 'show' indicates an LS slot. I have a set of RT-11 documentation and the 11/23 manual, but so far have not found instructions on how to do this. Thanks for any help, Barry Skidmore -- Barry Skidmore <skidmore(a)worldvenue.org>
