Anybody know anything about these? They look very modern and very high
tech. Most of the units are in grey aluminium boxs about 12" wide, 10" and
a couple of feet long. They have quick disconnect fluid couplings on them.
I opened one of the boxs and they have some regular looking boards in them
and some boards that are encased in thin aluminium boxs. Both the boards
and the enclosed boards have two small fluid quick disconnects on them too.
One of the encased ones was open and the card inside has two Intel i860XR
ICs on them along with a bunch of LSI brand ICs. One of the other boards
has soem HUGE ICs on it. They're almost 2 1/2" square and have Mercury
Computer Systems marked on them. ALL the ICs in these are heavily gold
plated and very expensive looking. I think the part number on the one
large box that I opened was Z1117. All the other boxs had different numbers.

OK, time for me to speak up. This thread is going in the totally wrong
direction. Why is everyone talking about silly stupid shit like SSNs?
Why is no one organising a posse to level the Bastille prison with the
ground and free our ClassicCmp comrade so he can once again work with us
on Classic Computers? Jeffrey Worley was and is a great guy, a real hero
in my book. OK, he killed his dad, so what. If Jeffrey killed him, it
was most certainly for just cause and the guy deserved to die. He was
most probably being a dictator in the house and tormenting Jeffrey (by
interfering with his ClassicCmp work, by telling him to get a Weendoze
job, or somesuch); and he was rightfully overthrown and executed for his
crimes by the oppressed citizenry.

For yucks, I asked for a quote on some schematics from "3prime-solutions.com"
that were listed on their web site (11/84 and HSC50 schems..)
MP-01426-00......USD$2805
MP-01955-01......USD$1356
MP-02011-01......USD$1617
Do you have a suggestion as to the best
program / image format to use?

I use Eric Smith's rfloppy program under Linux
dmklib.brouhaha.com
If you get a chance, I'd like to scan a copy of the
manual to add to my archive on the machine.

I can try to make disk images for you.

thanks! I dumped the eproms a while ago. One of them is labeled
"MFM 10 sec" which should be a pretty good clue as to their format
One of the dumps starts out:

Hi,
Does anyone have a schematic for an M7090 (11/44 console card)
or know the pin out of the 20 pin header for the console cable?
I searched and could not find anything.
I don't have a console cable for my 11/44 and I'm sick of coding in TI
DSP assembler and need a pdp 11 fix.
I have all the parts to make a hack cable but don't know the pinout.
I suppose I should read the 11/44 manual :-) where is the console
baud rate set? (ok, ok, I'll go read the manual).

Does anyone know anything about
the company, or the box?

I have one as well. What version of UCSD pascal is the manual for?
I've been trying to find a boot floppy for mine for a while now.
I remember Milwaukee Computers demoing the machine at a computer
club meeting of the Wisconsin Computer Society in the late 70's..
Hi All,
I have in my possession a machine from Milwaukee Computers Inc. It is
part of the MC-1000 series, specifically it is a model MC-1200. In the
wood sided enclosure there is a 6502 single board computer and a pair of
5-1/4 floppy drives. The silkscreen on the board has the company name
and 1982. The only documentation I have, is the USCD Pascal Users Manual
with the Milwaukee Computers name on it. Does anyone know anything about
the company, or the box?

This brings back fond memories of a similar program for the Altair, called "Kill the bit".
It might have been the first working program I tried on my Altair (certainly the first "game").
It is about 20-30 instructions that can be keyed in manually.
The code is in one of the Altair newsletters.

I seem to recall seeing a little program that
can be toggled into a PDP-11 (35/40/45/etc) that
will create a "rolling lights" pattern on the
front panel console, where the lights roll to the
right and left, off and on. Can anyone here on
the list point me to that program? I know that I
saw it somewhere on the internet. I'd like to
toggle that program in on my system.
On another note, I got my ASR-33 working, connected
online via 20mA DZ11 connection to my 11/34. I had
the send/recv wires crossed. It works perfectly now.
