Hi Jay et al., I've had a look at the .pdf's that you suggested - interesting stuff! Unfortunately just as it begins to get really interesting it looks as though the pages are missing. The bits that are most relevant to me, 'B-series power supply', are listed in the index .pdf as being at the end of section 9 but the scans of these pages haven't been published. Does anyone have the relevant pages? Looks like section 9, page 132 and following... Cheers to all Peter Brown

SMS 8000 model 40 Operating System?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Anybody what OS these use or anything else about them? I picked up seven of them with docs this past weekend. They're rackmount chassis with 5 Multibus 1 slots. According to the manual they have an Intel 86/35 CPU card, 4 Mb of RAM, a 12 Mb Seagate ST 213 12Mb hard drive with an intel iSBC 214 controller, a 48 TPI 5 1/4" floppy drive and a SMS peripheral controller. I have dug into any of them yet to check. I'll be asking lots more questions. I picked up an American Buttload* of computers this past weekend. And you won't believe where they came from! *That's at least 2x a Metric Buttload! Joe

by melamy＠earthlink.net

hi all, I have a ISIS version of kermit that requires a PLM compiler to "fix" Does anyone have a copy available? I must have left my copy back in Seattle and I was trying to get a bunch of files copied over, but I need to fix kermit first... Thanks! best regards, Steve Thatcher

Norsk Data History

by marvin＠rain.org

Norsk Data struck chord somewhere in my memory, and I found my copy of "Norsk Data - A Success Story" by Per Oyvind Heradstveit. Published in 1985, it covers the history from its founding in 1967 through 1984. A quick book search turned up no hits, so I have no idea how easy or how hard this book might be to find. However, for anyone interested in Norsk Data, it is a wonderful book!

Sun manuals available for pickup, Santa Ana, Southern Cal, also other "stuff"

by jwstephens＠msm.umr.edu

I am cleaning out a storage locker and have a lot of stuff I won't take, that I can hardly begin to count up here. the best item for this list is a pile of older sun manuals for anyone into old sun 4.x stuff, and early solaris. I also have tapes and what have you too. I have some sun 3/x stuff left, from some things that I could get from long ago, such as some smd drives and cabinets. Please plan to pick this up. I do not have the means to ship this stuff. Jim Stephens

identify this MicroSolutions card?

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

I found this in a load of scrap this weekend. It's marked MicroSolutions (makers of the highly desirable Capticards) so I grabbed it. It fits an 8 bit ISA slot and says Pacific Rim Technologies on the component side and MicroSolutions on the other. It has jumpers for address (only marked A and B) as well as DMA and IRQ settings. It's only about 4 inches long and has a UM8272A LSI IC and about a dozen SSI ICs. There is a D(something) 37F connector on the back on the card and solder pads for 34 ribbon cable header on the inside edge but no header installed. What have I got? I'm sure that it's some kind of floppy drive controller but nothing beyond that. joe

Tecmar 1st Mate card

by melamy＠earthlink.net

Tecmar also made PC expansion cards. I recall a TECMAR Graphics Master video card too. I recall the 1st Mate, but not as a tape controller. I would suspect it was an I/O expansion. The large chips would be the ones to ID the fuctionality - 8250(40 pin) - serial, MM58167(24 pin) - time of day clock, 74LS374(20 pin) - parallel port best regards, Steve On Mon, 15 Nov 2004, Stefan wrote: > Does anyone know what a Tecmar 1st mate card is ?

Tecmar 1st Mate card

by birs23＠zeelandnet.nl

Does anyone know what a Tecmar 1st mate card is ? It came from an IBM PC and has one male 25 pin connector on the card itself and has another 25 pin female connector attached to a flatcable. Its from 1982 and probably has part number 200029. Stefan. ------------------------------------------------------- http://www.oldcomputercollection.com
