I have several versions, circa 1982-1985, of Alloy's "TIP" tape program.
However, there is nothing about them that is Altos specific, they had a
"general purpose" S-100 interface board. I believe that they are all 8-bit
CP/M-80 programs. Contact me if you want to discuss further.

that way the hot tip lands on your ankle or leg instead of the floor where is can ruin the finish...

That's what they make cords for. Always grab the cord when it is falling.

Some how many moons ago, I managed to pick up a butane iron by grabbing
the heater on it. The tip of my index finger covered the glowing red air
hole.
That was fun as I screamed and literally had to peel the iron off my now
crispy finger tip (taking a good deal of charred flesh with it).

First of all, there is nothing wrong with using the word "registered" in
1985. SRI-NIC (the original ARPANET/Internet registry) had existed long
before 1985. It originally registered hosts and even their users, but when
domains were invented (RFC 882/883 timeframe, 1983-ish) SRI-NIC was
registering them too.
As for DNS use in 1985, consider that 4.3BSD, the first Berkeley release
with DNS, was released in early 1986, and was definitely working well inside
Berkeley in 1985. So Berkeley.EDU was up in 1985, and its DNS implementation
incorporated the changes between 882/883 and 1034/1035, i.e., 1034/1035-style
DNS was in operation in 1985 two years before being formally codified in the
RFCs.
In fact I just checked WHOIS and BERKELEY.EDU was registered on 1985-04-24.
Since it was one of the first, it is in fact quite plausible that there were
indeed 6 domain records in the SRI-NIC registry in 1985.

"rights of passage" are fine, but not everytime...
the medical co-pay would be a killer

I thought those burns where a right of passage in using an iron!?!

National Instruments Corp. sells a GPIB controller (the NAT9914) which
is compatible with the NEC 7210.
The NAT9914 is their implementation of the TI 9914. The orig 9914 data

Any chance you could get a spec for the Shiva Pipe protocol used by the
LANrovers?

National Instruments Corp. sells a GPIB controller (the NAT9914) which
is compatible with the NEC 7210. The reference manual (370875A-01,
320744B-0), June 1995 is available at:
http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370875a.pdf
NI also makes another controller, the NAT9914 which
has two modes of operation: (a) TI 9914 and (b) NEC 7210.
The manual of the NAT9914 contains full descriptions of both the 9914
and 7210 modes. The NAT9914 Reference Manual (370876A-01, 320775-01),
June 1995 is available at:

Still, they seem to be selling like mad, but if they're no good for
electronics then what's the attraction?
