Now that I have had a chance to "fondle" the IBM test box, it is time to
pass it on and let someone else fondle it :). It is now up for sale on
the Vintage Computer Marketplace.
I'm trying to find a Z80 disassembler for Linux. There are a bunch of
DOS ones out there, doesn't do me any good. A long time ago I had
downloaded one that was source and compiled it, but I can't remember
what it was. Anybody know of one?

I've been contacted by a credit union in southern California that has a
Honeywell DPS-6 among some other stuff.
The list includes:
Honeywell DPS-6
Spectralogic ST865 tape drive
Honeywell-Bull tape drive (in a large cabinet)
Something with model number B01730 (the only information I have on this)
AlphaServer 2100 (225Mhz, .5GB RAM, (5) RZ28 HD, (6) VT320, TSZ70)
Very large UPS (two racks, lots of batteries)
The location is City of Commerce, California (south Los Angeles).
The Honeywell DPS-6 is the coolest member of this lot. I would not mind
having it but for a couple issues, primarily my lack of time for
embarking on a long-distance haul and my desire to rid myself of large
things at this point as opposed to acquiring them. And I already have
one, though it's in rough shape.
I'm going to give the Computer History Museum first dibs on the DPS-6.
The rest of the stuff is up for grabs. The company just wants it hauled
off and they need it gone within a month or so.
In case the CHM does not want the DPS-6 but you do, let me know. GCOS
(the OS for the DPS-6) was inspired by Multics. Some information here:
http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?GCOS
...and here:
http://perso.club-internet.fr/febcm/english/gcos_6_products.htm
So it could be a fun machine to hack on if you have the room.

I quick perusal of Microsoft's Web site reveals that this service is
installed as part of Internet Information Server and/or Index Server. It is
very Web-oriented, meaning that an HTML "search" page would programmatically
query the index and produce a result. Index Server (a separate product) has
built-in querying.
I don't know if the IIS Indexing service can index anything other
than what's directly under wwwroot (the main Web site parent directory). I
looked at the man pages for swish-e and it will index anything that is under
single parent directory (which could be ".\users"). There doesn't appear to
be any way to index two independent trees, though.

Win2K (and I think NT4) has a document indexing service. For Win2K,
goto Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer
Management->Services And Applications->Indexing Service (I think there's
a quicker way to get there, but I use that so infrequently I don't
remember).
You can configure what documents are indexed. You can index PDFs
with a free plugin from Adobe. I think most MS formats are supported by
default. You can specify how often documents are indexed, what
directories or drives, etc.
The problem is the query tool isn't as readily available or as
usable as I would like. But it does work, and it's a little known service.

I picked up some unusual (to me) documentation tonight, along with
an IMSAI and a Hayes S-100 modem that you can see at
www.decodesystems.com/imsai.html
The documentation includes:
An NEC manual (marked confidential) that is titled
"D22X7 Series 8-Inch Winchester Disk Drive Manual."
It has 8 chapters and two appendices, including
schematics.
Solos/Cuter User's Manual from Processor Technology dated 1977.
According to this manual, "SOLOS is a program designed to be a
personality module in a Sol. CUTER is a program designed to
provide much of the power of SOLOS for the non-Sol user."
Thinker Toys Draft User's Manual for "Disk Jockey 2D"
Microsoft BASIC-80 version 5.0 Reference Manual, including a
letter from Thinker Toys explaining why they have to include
a Non-Disclosure Agreement -- and the actual Non-Disclosure
Agreement for Microsoft Disk BASIC or FORTRAN.
Microsoft CP/M and ISIS-II BASIC Reference Book, copyright 1977
when Bill et al were in Albuquerque.
Also some floppies:
Two 8-inch disks, both from Morrow Designs Thinker Toys
and both copyrighted 1979. One is labeled "SOL 2D - Diskate
Version 2.0 - Mod B" and the other "Microsoft BASIC Version
5.0.3"
A sealed 5.25" floppy labeled "Milestone (c) 1981, Apple CP/M, Demo,
Revision 1.06"
More to come, including a Dynabyte machine that is still in the car.
Cheers,
Dan

Dear Dan,
Sure there are CP/M boot diskettes. Just send us your address, and we will calculate the posting.

Hello,
I recently acquired a Philips P2000C "portable" computer.
It came with a couple of 5.25" application disks but is
missing a C/PM boot disk. I checked the archives mentioned
here recently but couldn't find one for this machine.
Does anyone out there have a boot disk they could send
me in Teledisk or similar format?
Cheers,
Dan

Just wanted to say I've posted a large pile of S-100 cards and some
other things on VCM, as I need the money more than piles of
useless-to-me hardware. :)

One last batch of DEC handbooks available for sale, as I finally finished
cleaning out the garage.
These are what I had left (duplicates) and what I found after I shipped the
last huge batch out. I'd prefer to sell them together if possible, to avoid
the hassle of packing and shipping multiple boxes/packages/etc.
Condition is decent for publications this old - no falling out pages, etc.
Picture of the previous huge batch: http://www.mrbill.net/decbooks/
No reasonable offer refused, I can ship in the next two days.
LSI PDP11/03 Processor Handbook (1975-76)
PDP-11 Architecture Handbook (1983-84)
PDP11 software handbook (1976) (x2)
Laboratory Computer Handbook (PDP-12) (1971)
Microcomputers and Memories (1982)
Logic Handbook (1976-1976)
Logic Handbook (1976-1977)
Easiest way to reach me is email.
