Just got a Facit N4000 unit. Looking for DOS based PC software to read &
store images, etc.
Can anyone point me to any freeware/shareware that they find works well with
such units?

Don't think I posted this stuff to the list before, if I have, my apologies.
But when you have CRS syndrome.... For some of the ones listed below, I have
like 30 copies (all originals) of the manuals. For others I only have one
original copy. Some of these are off-the-beaten-path manuals and quite cool.
Micro-Term Mime I & II
Micro-Term 420
Micro-Term 5A
Micro-Term Ergo 2000
Micro-Term ACT IV
Micro-Term Mime 340
Micro-Term 2A (which does Soroc IQ120 emulation - cool, and I have the
terminal :)
Mini Bee IV
Some of the manuals above are operating guides, some are programming guides,
some are service/technical manuals.
I actually have a Micro-Term ACT 5, very cute terminal.... and a 2A. I would
VERY much like to find a Mime I, and maybe a Mime II.
Anyways - thought I'd list the manuals in case someone is desperately
looking for any of them.

Help! I've been trying to recreate an 8" floppy from the Altos Diagnostic
disk .tdo file recently added to the Commercial CP/M Software Archive site
(http://www.retroarchive.org/cpm/) so I can try to diagnose a hard drive
problem on my ACS8000-10A, and have so far been unsuccessful. I've been
using a Shugart 800 8" drive connected to a PC/AT floppy controller with a
34-to-50 pin adapter, and have been wearing myself out with Teledisk,
Anadisk and 22Disk for the last few days with no luck. I think I've got the
adapter pinned correctly since I'm able to use certain functions OK, but not
make that disk. When I try to use Teledisk, it tells me the .tdo source was
a 3.5" high-density FM formatted disk (?), and when it tries to write out to
the new disk, it comes up unable to find any of the sectors.
Has anyone out there been able to do this, or know of another source for the
Altos Diagnostic disk that has the hard drive utility?
Thanks,

Ok, I am at it again...
Powering up the "really nice" ASR-33 that I pickjed up last weekend. After
checking thing out [voltages mechanical inspection, etc] I have powered it
up.
[F4 the fuse for the motor WAS blown, a replacement of the ssame rating is
holding].
Motor spins up nicely (real quiet and sweet!), with the mode set to local,
the break and here-is keys do the "right things", however NONE of the other
keys do. My first thought was an issue with the keyboard unit, but a swap
>from my other (dirty, smashed case, etc) unit yields the same results. My
next thought was the distributor [since checking the schematic shows that
the break key does NOT require the distributor connectivty]....
Powered down, disassembled to look at the brushes, they look brand new [cant
wait till I get to post some pictures of this baby!!!!].
Every thing also seems to buzz out as I would expect.
This indicates that the failure mode might well (once again) be me......
Hopefully someone here will think of something I am missing.....
A reply e-mail would be appreciated, a call bfrom anyone with an idea and a
few minutes would be great! [If it is long distance, I can call anyone
willing to help].
My weekend will be some mich better if I get this working and buttoned up
tonight [It's so cleen that it is even scheduled to go in the living space
rather than my lab when buttoned up and working!
Thanks in advance.

Hi David
Once you've fine the right size of flat bladed screwdriver
to jam into the slot of the H-plate, you'll see that it is
actually quite easy. One should be able to do is in just a
few seconds. You do need to manually reset both sides to
be in the same state so the angles are the same.

Is there a competent X-Windows programmer in the house? The folks at
XGameStation need to port their graphical IDE to a Linux environment. I
don't have many more details but if you are interested in learning more
then please e-mail me and I'll forward you to the appropriate party.

I just landed hands on a Mac SE. It is currently running system 6, I
only have a bout 2mb of memory
and a 20mb hard drive. I even have an imagewriter to go with it!! :^)
Will system 7 run ok on this machine?
Where's the best place to download software stuff for system 6 and
system 7?
Anyone have a copy of "macintosh basic" they can spare?
Thank you folks, I have accepted Al Kossow's offer of reading
our two DECtapes which are here in America (and I'm keeping Hans
Pufal in my back pocket in case any more tapes turn up in
Scotland. Fortunately I have big pockets.)
