Hi Heinz,
Yes - this is the little box made by Northern Digital - it was apparently
developed at U or Waterloo. There is only a 6809 inside, and no selection
switch. (My SuperPET does have dual CPUs and a switch to select).
Do you have one with dual CPU's? - Any additional information?
Regards,
Dave

Greetings, list!
In my quest for the perfect PaperClip PC, I have finally managed to
find a decent snapshot of the book cover:

I was somehow under the impression that the cover was a dull RED, not
light blue; can anyone who has a copy clarify this issue?
TIA,

The point is that you CAN'T use the /B switch when one of the files is
actually a device (like COM:). DOS will not allow that.

Hi,
If you want to do that, there is a better way (if you want
to write the C code for it). I use IO.DLL which allows you
to do inp, outp in user space. There are several of these types
of DLLs, but this one seems to be popular:

This allows you to port those old dos programs directly over to
XP as a console program. Very handy....
Cheers,
Ram

Hi
I've been wondering. If I use one of these tools
will it allow me to have things like the bi-directional
control of the parallel port? I use the parallel port
to connect to an older paper tape reader. Does it
really emulate access to hardware or just the more
standard useages like serial ports?

I'm not sure it matters what the license said.
Adobe tried the trick of making it against the license to transfer a copy
of their software to a new owner. The courts shot it down the first time
it was tested.
