I have an IBM PC/36, the baby System/36. Silly thing's sitting on my desk
daring me to power it up, but without a critical bit of code I can't. To
operate a 5364 you need a PC attached and running the "Attachment
Programs". They act like a control panel for the server -- controlling the
whole IPL and diagnostic process. As you may have guessed, I haven't got
them. Would anyone on the list have such a set of disks around somewhere?

yea, I have one. you talking about the AT size mainframe with the single
floppy drive? I got one about 2 years ago along with the dual floppy 5150 that
runs it I guess and a terminal connected via twinax. I managed to IPL the system,
but that's it, not knowing how to operate it any further. Mine just uses a
single floppy. Is that what's needed?
Hello 8080 and 8080A and DEC PDP/8E fans,
I bought some stuff from a guy just north of Sacramento, and he had
a couple of other things for sale that I didn't need, but some of you might
want. He had sent me pictures, so I uploaded them for viewing.
Pro-Log M822A 8080A System Analyzer ... he had said he only wanted $25.00
for this
8.5" x 11" x 2"
will work for the 8080 and the 8080A
clips over 8080A CPU chip and is used for
debuging programs and hardware system design
8080A first process authorized for military applications
8080 ... Altair, IMSAI, SOL, Poly88

Original PDP8/E Computer Engineering Drawings ... he had said he wanted
$50.00 for these
http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze2mj6m/pics/DEC_PDP8-E_Computer_Engineer…
If anyone wants either of these, send me an email and I will forward it on
to him.
I will not be involved past that point, and accept no responsibility for
the outcome.
Best Regards
Anybody know what has happened to the Flex mailing list or to Ian Blythe
who hosted the Flex website? (http://www.flexusergroup.com/) I tried to
subscribe to the list but the message bounced. I found two addresses for
Ian but both are no longer valid.

Would anybody with an eprom burner be willing to burn a 27c128 rom (I have the
code) to update an apple scsi card rom from revision B to C so it will work
with my IIgs?
>Do you mean "DB9" connectors?
I was under the impression that the small D shell size was an "E" not a
"B". That "B" was the larger size commonly found on 25 pin connectors
(lets not split hairs here, everyone knows what I mean by 25 pin
connector... ie: a common PC parallel connector, or the larger serial
connector, or a Mac SCSI connector).
I used to call it a DB9, but I was corrected many moons ago by others on
this list with FAR more knowledge on the topic than I have, so I took
them at their word, and have made an effort to always refer to it as a
DE9 now.
I suppose the HD15 "VGA" connector would then be a DE15. And a DB9 would
be a "25 pin" shell with only 9 actual pins in it (9 pin spaces, as from
what I understand the count is based on number of spaces, not actual
number of pins present).
Hopefully we will avoid the whole "whats a
"centronics/amphenol/telco/SCSI" connector called" discussion. That one
really makes my head spin :-)
But I am curious what the Sun monitor connector is called (that one that
is a DB shell with 3 large barrel pins as well as some smaller pins).

I've got a bare S100 board labeled "CGRS 6502 Computer Board, Rev A 7/77
WMS". The only reference I can find to CGRS is in the What's New column
of Byte 2:7(115)- July, 1977 - "A New Microcomputer Series from CGRS"
which describes three boards in the 6000 Series of Altair bus compatible
cards based on the MOS 6502 processor. Manufacturer is listed as CGRS
Microtech of Southhampton, PA.
Other refs to CGRS Microtech point to Commodore PET products including
RAM upgrades and an S100 interface card.
Anyone know anything more?
