Does anyone know of a supplier in Ireland/UK that would have VT510 (or VT520) terminals available? I need one for a coworker in Cork. -- Eric Dittman dittman(a)dittman.net

VLB video card, VLB IO card

by cb＠mythtech.net

I have a VLB VGA card and a VLB IO card (ID, FDC, Parallel, Serial, Game). Both are on their way to the trash unless claimed by someone. Actually, come to think of it, if someone wants, they can have the whole 486 logic board they are on as well. It has a 50 MHz 486/DX2 chip on it. That is also on the way to the trash. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

trouble interfacing an HP86B to an HP7040 plotter with a serial interface

by rhahm＠nycap.rr.com

Hi, I am having trouble interfacing an HP86B to an HP7040 plotter with a serial interface. I have two HP serial interfaces: standard with male DB25 connector and 0pt.01 with female connector. The plotter has a male DB25 connector. I have connected the standard with with a gender changer and the opt. 01 directly without success. I typed PLOTTER IS 10 and (the baud rate on the plotter is set at 9600)I get an error message. This is the first time I have tried a serial connection and unfortunately I don't have any documentation for the HP serial interface. Do I need a null modem for the opt. 01 serial interface? What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Bob

Apple I programs

by mail.list＠analog-and-digital-solutions.com

Hello Sellam, > However, Ismail warned the replica would not appeal to everyone. > There's a very limited library of software for the machine. > Most Apple I software was written by hobbyists and never published > commercially. And what programs there are will have to be typed in > by hand -- in Basic or assembly code. So perhaps you could put out a call to Apple I hobbyists that had written programs, and ask that they make them public domain, and host a library of them available for download on your web site? And/or if you'd like to generate a bit of revenue, perhaps you could get permission to sell CD's of the library, something like Walnut Creek did with shareware, for those that don't want to spend the time downloading, and would rather just purchase a CD full of them? Best Regards

SVGA with DE9

I >still have the cable, so I can look at it when I get home. As far as the >Sabre label, American Airlines used to private label a lot of AST >computers and monitors as Sabre for distribution to travel agencies for >connection to the Sabre reservation network. There were a lot of P100 >Sabre systems floating around DFW for a while. No sooner did I post the email than I found one DE9 to HD15 cable. It had fallen behind the cabinet that one of the monitors was sitting on top of. So now I have at least one cable and can use that to make a 2nd if need be. I think you might be right on the Sabre label. It does look like the American Airlines Sabre system logo (although it has been a long time since I have seen that logo so I might be wrong). I'm not sure how I wound up with two monitors from their systems however. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

SVGA with DE9

by cb＠mythtech.net

I have two rather old monitors marked as "Sabre" on the front. They have a DE9 female socket on the back, but also carry a label claiming the monitors to be SVGA. I've never seen SVGA use DE9 connectors, I've always seen them with the high densitry 15 pin connectors (as commmonly seen on current PC monitors). Anyone know the pinout for an adaptor? Anyone have a particular desire for these monitors? -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

info on Two Technologies device (hand held terminal?)

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I picked this up the other day. I THINK it's a hand held terminal. It was made by Two Technologies Inc of Horsham, Pa and it's model number is TT1-R2-2. It's a blue box slightly larger than a pack of cigarettes and has a LCD screen and a membrane type keyboard. The keyboard seems to have all the usually alphabetic, numeric and puctuation keys plys F1 to F5, Shift, Control, Space, Back Space and Enter. it has a curly cord on the bottom. The curly cord has RJ-11 six pin connector on each end. It does not have any batteries or power connection so it must get it's power from what ever it's plugged into. I searched the net but didn't find anything about Two Industries or this device. Is anyone familar with it? Joe

Your experience is not uncommon among customers of Darek's ("Idiots" as he likes to term them). Sorry to hear you also had a problem with him. You are in great company though. LOL!!!

IBM PC/XT 3.5" floppy drivers

by r_beaudry＠hotmail.com

>> I have an old IBM 3.5" 720KB floppy, meant to be installed in an XT. The >> kit came with a 5.25" floppy that contained drivers, and a program called >> "35INSTAL.COM". >If you upgrade to DOS 3.20 or newer, then you do NOT need that disk. >If your XT has IBM's BIOS, then you need to add DRIVER.SYS to your >CONFIG.SYS file. >If you are using a non-IBM BIOS, then you can use DRIVPARM instead >(in MS-DOS, and present but not documented in PC-DOS) >NOTE: DRIVPARM is incompatible with IBM's BIOS. >If you want to use DOS <3.20, then you want that disk. >NOTE: SOME versions of MS-DOS 2.11 support 720K. Fred, That did it! And a big "duh" on my part .... The PC in question is an original IBM PC/XT 5160, and it has a 1/2 height 360KB drive, and a hard drive (10MB full-height 5.25" w/ XEBEC Controller). There was a hole above the 360KB drive dying to have a drive put in :-), so I added the 720KB disk (an original IBM part). The hard drive boots IBM DOS 3.30, so I gave DRIVER.SYS a try -- It worked first shot! Of course, I could have looked in my IBM DOS 3.30 manual, but that would have been to easy :-) Thanks again!
