I GIVE UP!!! Does anyone have drivers for the HP 6300 series scanners. It's something called Precision Scan. I searched the net for over an hour and all I found was links to other search engines with links to other search engines to links to OTHER search engines that all ultimately lead back to MORE people trying to find drivers for the same thing. All the search engines are lousy any more. I type in "HP ScanJet 6300 driver download" and all I get are link sto people trying to sell the scanners and othe search engines and not one place where I can actually download drivers. Joe

PDP-9, -12, -15 paper tapes found

by waltje＠pdp11.nl

Hi All, While going through someone's collecting heritage, I found some paper tapes for PDP-9, PDP-12 and PDP-15 systems. From what is printed and/or scribbled on them, it looks like bootstraps and diagnostics tapes. Some are DEC-original. Does anyone want these, and/or who can read and archive their contents? I know nothing about these systems, soo...

Really stupid PDP assembler question

by squidster＠techie.com

*WARNING: NEWBIE ALERT* Ok. I must be an idiot. I for the life of me cannot figure out why is it when I say: 1000: .ASCIZ /HELLO WORLD!/ After assembling and linking it turns out that: 1000: 042510 ;H=110, E=105 1002: 046114 ;L=114, L=114 1004: 020117 ;O=117, <SPC>=040 1006: 047527 ;W=127, O=117 1010: 046122 ;R=122, L=114 1012: 020504 ;D=104, !=041 1014: 000000 Why is the octal ASCII code and the content of the addresses different? /wai-sun -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

pinging ed sharpe

by rigdonj＠cfl.rr.com

Ed, I seem to be having trouble getting messages through to you. I've sent you a number of messages about the MIT books including two more yesterday but the only time that I have gotten a response is when I post a message here. Do you have an alternate E-mail address that works? I'm interested in the Rad Lab yearbook and I can offer cash or a trade. Let me know which you want. Joe

"How to build a working digital computer" - Anyone with copies?

by mbg＠TheWorld.com

I have a copy... it was meant to read a program from "drum" memory, a coffee can covered by a piece of paper with the appropriate holes cut it in so paper-clip "brushes" made contact. The problem is that you then had to (if I remember correctly) make the changes in the states of the 'flip-flops' yourself and move to the next instruction... I'll have to find it and check it out...

by esharpe＠cox.net

Bob Bemer, Computer Pioneer, Passed Away This Week at Age 84. See links: The Obituary: http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/06/23/obit.bemer.ap/index.html Bob's Web site http://www.bobbemer.com a.. At Lockheed, he devised the first computerized 3-D dynamic perspective, prelude to today's computer animation. b.. At IBM, he developed a.. PRINT I (the first load-and-go computer method), b.. FORTRANSIT (the first major proof of intercomputer portability, and the second FORTRAN compiler), c.. Commercial Translator (a COBOL input), and d.. XTRAN (an ALGOL predecessor). c.. In 1957 March he was the first to describe commercial timesharing publicly, which evolved into the Worldwide Web. d.. In 1959 his internal IBM memo proposed word processing. e.. The Identification and Environment Divisions of COBOL are due to him, as is the Picture Clause, which could have avoided the Year 2000 problem if used correctly. f.. He coined the terms "COBOL", "CODASYL", and "Software Factory". g.. He was the major force in developing ASCII (contributing 10 characters -- ESCape (see that key), FS, GS, RS, US, {, }, [, ], and the backslash). He invented the escape sequence and registry concept, and is called the "Father of ASCII". h.. He wrote the original scope and program of work for international and national computer standards, and chaired the international committee for programming language standards for eleven years. i.. As editor of the Honeywell Computer Journal (the first A4-size publication [1971] in the U.S.) he innovated fiche-of-the-issue and multimedia publishing. j.. He is recognized as the first person in the world to publish warnings of the Year 2000 problem -- first in 1971, and again in 1979. k.. And..... more! go to his site to learn more.....
