Curt Vendel of the Atari Historical Society needs help. He's obtained a
bunch of RM05 carthridges that apparently contain a lot of interest Atari
corporate data. He'd like to read these but doesn't have the necessary
gear.
Is there anyone in the New York area (or thereabouts) who has an RK05
drive that they can loan to Curt so he can read these? Better yet, does
anyone have a working PDP-11 system upon which these tapes can be read?
Anyway, if you think you can help, please contact Curt directly at
<curt(a)atarimuseum.com>.
On behalf of Curt, thanks!

Thanks for the info ... that's what I was afraid I was going to hear.
I notice you are connected to kjsl.com via UUCP. There's less and less
of that any more. For anyone's interest in the Ohio area, I've got a
UUCP number in Columbus, and there are still 4 or 5 systems that use
me as an upstream mail hub. Since the mapping project shut down, it's
difficult to find a connection.

Hi Al
Don't be surprised by sticker shock. These don't
go cheap like a C64 or something.

Hi
Another useful trick for debugging 8080/Z80 machines
is to float the data bus with some pullup resistors
at the uP. This causes the processor to execute endless
RST7's. This will make it loop through the addresses
so that one can easily check out selects and such with
a scope. I remember from my old days at Intel, I had
an 8080 on a home made socket adapter that I could
do this with. It was always the first thing I grabbed
when I had a new system that wouldn't boot. It had a
switch on it so that I could convert the normal PUSH
of the address to be a read instead of a write. This
allowed me to check data buffers in both directions
as well. It seems like the switch changed the pullups
to pull downs to generate NOP's instead of RST7's but
it has been a long time.
Just a thought.

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.

Anyone know what this M233 Disk Shift Reg. goes into? I've checked the
field guides and google, and so far nothing. It is a DEC single height
M-Series Module.

Just been watching John Carpenter's film "Dark Star" (again). There's
a very brief shot of a computer toggle-switch front panel. It seems to
have two rows of 15 lights (neons?) and two rows of toggle switches
(with plastic tips). It looks like a genuine machine, not a made-up
prop, but what machine is it? Does anybody know?

Question regarding the PDP-7 (see
http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2003-June/015291.html)
I am working on the Teletype (KSR33) and wondered if anyone has (a
reasonably priced) one? ASR is a small plus, but not neseccary.
I have a pathetic budget for this (?9, $12-ish) project, but I could
probably scrape up some dough if needed.
I live in Norway, so Europe is a plus. We have the 220v-115v converter
built-in to the stand.
And, does anyone know about the interface of the thing?? Is it RS-232
compatible?
