I've got a friend who's looking for a TC01 for sale or trade. Does anyone
have one?
Please e-mail me and I'll put you in touch with the interested party...

Morning All,
I've pulled an old Raidion LTX SCSI RAID out of the closet in hopes of
using it to backup a small server (SS20) and need some help getting it
running again. For example, is replacing the drives a simple swap? The
existing ones are Micropolis 3243's but 2 of the four are dead and I'd
like to replace them with 4 Seagate 9.1GB narrow drives that are handy.
The company appears moribund (www.raidionsystems.com). The online
links to manuals are dead and email to the tech support address is
returned as undeliverable. Phone calls to Tech Support get voicemail
but no return call. Web searching leads to old product reviews, the
company homepage, and not much else that's useful.
Appreciate any leads to manuals or other documentation.
TIA for your help, Doug

Hi all,
I've just been looking through a box of old computer-stuff and found the
following small item:
It looks like a cartridge (8x5cm) for an Amstrad with a passthrough edge
connector and a lead (70cm) comming out with a 5-pin DIN plug (male) at
the end.
On the label it says:
Cirkit
Prestel Link
Amstrad Interface
Any help appreciated. Searches on Google gives nothing!
Cheers,
Carsten

If only for local use, a small PBX or a few line emulators would do.

You might be able to get some pages from peopel who used to run BBC
BBSs. Or people Rob and I know might have some dusty archives.

Some of the commercial systems did indeed use the ubiquitous PDP-11,
but the real thing ran on GEC hardware.

to all the ranters (no matter what the subject), apply Thumper's Rule to what you say - in the movie Bambi - Thumper the rabbit was told by his mother - "if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything at all." This list is for classic computers. Any chance you all can keep your personal feelings from wasting email bandwidth.
best regards, Steve Thatcher

Learn to deal with it, yes.
But I don't see that as a reason to stop the bashing. If the
criticisms were unfair, perhaps. But even you, in your rant, admit
they're broken on many levels (as compared to most other machines); I
see no particular reason to stop pointing out something that's broken
just because we're stuck with its presence.

Hi
I thought I'd mention that I've written a simulator
for the 4004 in the environment of a SIM-4. One
could adapt it to most any hardware environment.
It is written in Forth so it can be quite flexible
for someone that knows Forth.
If anyone is interested, I can dig it up. With
a little time to refamiliarize myself with the
code, I can help connect up I/O.
It runs under FPC on a DOS PC platform. There is
a simple assembler and disassembler as well.
For someone wanting to do a 4004 project, it can
be quite useful at debugging code and hardware
concepts.

Hi
The KL8 and KL11 interfaces (and for that matter the DL11's later on)
had standard configuration entries for five level code. Has anybody
come across DEC code that drove five level machines like model 28's?
Obviously there was ham code out there that did the job, but was there
anything from DEC?
Thanks
