looking for a computer with front panel

by gohai＠gmx.net

Hello, I came across a screening of 'Wargames', with a presentation afterwards about the computers and hacks used in the film ... and I was just blown away by the front panel of the IMSAI :) Do you know of any programmable computer today which has a programmable front panel? Are there maybe some machines for education? Or are there classic computers which have this feature and are less rare (and expensive) than the IMSAI? thanks!

Mac keyboard tunnel software

by cb＠mythtech.net

Once upon a time I had a program for the Mac, older program (System 7 era) that allowed you to "tunnel" your keyboard and mouse to another mac. The way it worked was, you would move the mouse to the top corner of the screen, above the Apple menu, and "push" thru to another screen. It would then move your keyboard and mouse control to another Mac. Basically, it worked as a software KV switch (no M as it required you to have a monitor on the other Mac). I've been unsuccessful in turning up a copy of this program in my archives. Partly hampered by not remembering what it was called. Does anyone remember what this software was, and do they have a copy they can send me? -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>

DTC MicroFile

by brian＠quarterbyte.com

Hi, Does anyone have any recollections or information about the DTC MicroFile? Data Terminals and Communications made it. It's a piece of furniture on wheels, contains a box with a dual 8" floppy drive and appears to be designed to sit in between a terminal and a daisywheel printer -- a primitive word processor? Haven't had a chance to crack the box open yet, and am curious if anyone has any concrete information. Cheers Brian

They needed the dust and disintegrated foam vacuumed out, the NiCads replaced, some replacement foam (some was draught sealing strip from the hardware shop, some was foam sheet from an upholsery shop) and a bit of TLC (soapy water and elbow grease for the casing, reseating the boards, etc) but they worked fine. The packs also were fine; some had been kept in ziploc covers, some not. The drives are now on an 11/34 which will probably end up running RSTS (the 11/40 used to run RT-11). -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York
