The IBM PC DOS 1.00 manual seems to be quite rare indeed...the 1.10
version is not hard to find. What's fun is getting either running on a
hard drive in a 5150 :)

Typo? I remember MS-DOS 2.11? on the HP150A in 1983 supporting a
PATH environment variable which COMMAND.COM would use to search for
executable programs.

Anyone in Central Florida want a 4 camera printed circuit board inspection
machine missing it's cards? Was working before stored, but now not firing
up. Free for pick up if this happens.
Did you check the drives opto sensor's light path to
make sure that no dust bunnies are blocking the path?
i have an osi/macom that uses the same drives and
after troubleshooting three good drives - i discovered
that the drive interface card and 1 cpu had been
pluged into the molex plug backplane backwords!
one of these days i'll have to re chip and re cap both
boards.
anyhoo, you may want to check out your controller to
insure that it is sending a head load signal.
also on those drives,there are some wire jumpers that
may need to be set and soldered.
if i remember correctly - there is two different
boards used on those drives too - one is for hard
sectored and one is for soft sectored thier may be
another for mfm vs another standard too - double check
the boards on the drive's with your orignal - your
looking for the missing or complete parts on the fm
data sep and other silk screened areas and the wire
jumper location's at the back of the card edge
connector.
just rememebered my drives were siemens fdd 100-8 e
hope this helps anyway.

I have several systems that use Shugart 800-1 SS
8" disk drives.
I've
got several defective drives plus I've been wanting
some spares. Last
week
I picked up 10 Shugart model 801 SS drives. Today I
tried to use them
on
the same systems but I can't make them work. I've set
all the jumpers
and
straps exactly the same as in the 800-1 drives but the
801s aren't
working.
The system knows the drive is there and detects the
disk being in place
and
rotating and that the drive door closed but the drive
never gets the
head
load signal. I'm using the same system, cables, power
supply, etc with
both
drives so the only difference is the drives
themselves. I've tried a
couple
of 801s and gotten exactly the same results with all
of them so I don't
think that it due to a drive failure. Anybody have any
experience with
these or have a good idea of what's wrong?

It's an MO400, Apple High-Res Mono, 35 kHz Horizontal scan, 66.7 Hz vertical scan. Looks like it won't work :(.

Hi all,
Has anyone got six (or more) 2114 RAMs they feel like parting with? John
Honniball (coredump at gifford dot co dot uk) was supposed to be sending me
some, but for some reason he's stopped answering my emails.
At this moment in time, the only thing I want to do is see my Jupiter Ace
running. Unfortunately the RAMs are totally stuffed (Tony Duell was right
about them dying if you look at them wrong!)... I know BGMicro still sell
them - is anyone placing an order with them in the near future?
Thanks.

This is a valid approach for things that are important... but it is FAR
more time consuming then my current method. By cutting them in half I can
load them into the sheet feeder and do the entire first half of the book
(I tell Acrobat I'm scanning dual sided pages, it scans all the first
sides, then prompts me to put them back in and scan the back sides, then
it puts them all in order for me... I repeat the process with the back
half of the book, and when I am done, everything is in order and I've had
very little user interaction with it).
So really, cutting them in half is just a huge time saver. If I do the
folding method, I have to scan them all way out of order and worry about
putting them all back into order. Certainly valid and worth the time for
things I want to not destroy. But not worth it for things that are being
thrown out right after scanning.

Since there seem to be a few people on CLASSICCMP besides me running Mac OS X, I figure the following might be of interest.
One of my chief remaining complaints with Mac OS X has been getting X-Windows to play nicely with OpenVMS and other DEC OS's. Normally I use a shell script to start up a xterm with the properly configured keyboard mappings, but that doesn't work under Mac OS X. I'm used to having a fully functional keypad for editing files, and I can't live without it. Well, I think I've finally got it about solved. Simply do the following.
Dump your existing keyboard layout (twice):
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap.orig
Change to the following keycodes in the ~/.Xmodmap
keycode 79 = KP_F1
keycode 89 = KP_F2
keycode 83 = KP_F3
keycode 75 = KP_F4
keycode 127 = Select
Load your new .Xmodmap:
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
Add the following to ~/.Xdefaults
xterm*VT100.Translations: #override \
<Key>BackSpace: string(0x7f)
If you actually need the normal X-Windows keyboard layout for some reason you can get it back by doing:
xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap.orig
So far I've tested this with TOPS-20, OpenVMS, and RT-11 and it seems to be working great. I'm not sure if the function keys work right, as I don't really use them, but all the keys I use for editing do work. My only complaint is that it doesn't support double-height text, but it's a lot cheaper solution than going out and buying a commercial terminal emulator that offers full support.

My company is still all 16 meg token ring. The cards (both PCMCIA and PCI) are still available from Madge (we just bought five PCI Cards) and cost over ?100 each. Ouch.
I've got my laptop set up with both e-net and token ring PCMCIA cards, and it works great, with both Slackware and Windows 2000... although making Slackware work ment some manual editing of config files...
Take Care,
Mark
