Hi Wayne
Sorry for accusing you of missing me. It was
a great show this year. I always enjoy these very
much. I hope to have a bigger and flashier exhibit
next year. My spare time has been somewhat limited
this year.

Thanks, I saw that. It only defines COFF. No hints as to what I need to make
DOS 6.22 run the thing.
One of the instances I where I got this was I was trying "Seal" a GUI
written by the people who also put out freeDOS
http://www.freedos.org/
And it says at the seal download site that it runs under other DOSses

I've got a board here with a short between ground and the +5V rail
(actually not quite dead - I'm getting around 10 ohms between the rails)
Any useful tips for finding the fault? It's a large board, multi-layer,
lots of silicon on it unfortunately :-(
Are there any particular components that are likely to fail in this way
that might be found across PSU rails? (decoupling caps, certain ICs,
crystal modules etc.?)
Given a suitably sensitive meter is it sensible to assume I can try and
home in on the short location a little? (I've found readings between
GND/supply on various LS chips of anything between 9.5 and 12 ohms so
far)
I've checked the board for particles of anything that might be causing
the problem, plus I'm halfway through ruling out any of the socketed
ICs. Of course if it's a problem with the multi-layer PCB itself... eek!
(do these ever fail in such a way though? It's a commercial board which
used to be fine)
cheers

Here is something you typically wont find easily:

You can use this on an AMIGA if you have the corresponding ZORRO link
adapter card...

While cleaning the past weekend, I came across a couple of things that I
thought I would try to find a home for.
1) Manual for a Aydin Controls "Slow Scan Analog Patriot Series High
Resolution Color Monitor", March 1985. I also happen to have a model
8831 monitor, which is covered in the manual. I do not know the working
condition of the monitor, but the cosmetic condition is O.K. The manual
contains schematics and troubleshooting information, so I would think
making the tube work should be possible. The tube is big, and needs to
be picked up on the east side of Madison, WI.
2) 1985 Sharper Image catalog. The only thing I thought was interesting
was the ad for an Omnibot 2000 robot.
Anyone interested for the cost of shipping?

On Friday 12/3 I will be heading down I-95 from NY to Va. to pick up a great
find...Returning Saturday (or possibly Sunday). I will have an SUV with
Trailer. If this can be of use to anyone (especially those looking to get
rid of DEC equipment to a good home <grin>) drop me a post.
Seriouly, anyone on list into DEC (especially PDP-8) who is near this route,
drop me a note....

Your memory is failing you! :-) Not only did I "notice" your
exhibit, I actually talked to you about it and even
photographed it - how could I have possibly missed it given
the very prominent placement assigned by Sellam! In fact, as
I discussed with you, I was at the session when Jim Willing
smoked it (popped the tantalums) at VCF 4. Indeed, at that
session Jim Willing borrowed a BNC to RCA connector from me
(that I was using with my IBM 5100) to put what turned out to
be garbage composite video up on a screen.
I just went back through the raw photos I took and I saw that
the photo I took of yours turned out very dark, which is why
I left it out the first time around. I will do what I can
with Photoshop and add it to what I posted - give me 1/2 hour.

I recently acquired a virgin Burroughs Panaplex display, and
can't find data for it. It's a 24-line, 40-column display, tube
only. Character matrixes are 5w x 9h (!) so it'll do decenders.
The only markings are a simple "N-0008" on one edge. It's got
double staggered rows of pins on all four sides. The whole
thing is about 8" x 10".
I know how (on paper) to drive panaplex displays (it's nasty)
and would love to work up a nice display with this thing if I
can find pinout data. Any ideas?
