Hi George
My Name is Glen Graham
I am also looking for a copy of 10391B Inverse Assembler Files
Did you ever do any good finding a copy?
I you did can you please pass on the information.
I have included a copy of files that you may be interested in
Operating system files for
2/ HP1650B
3/ HP1660A
4/ HP16500B
5/ HP16500C
6/ LIF Utility Software (very handy) use this program in DOS to convert the
files into LIF format
This is the format that the equipment uses except the 16500B/C units they
use DOS files
To load software into 16500B/C use these instructions
Double-click the executable file and unzip the contents to a
folder on your hard drive.
1. You will need five blank floppy disks to complete this step. Label
the floppies 1, 2, 3, 4, and PVTEST. In Windows Explorer, copy the contents
of the DISK1 folder to the disk labeled 1. Repeat for the remaining folders.
Note that it is not necessary to copy the DEMO folder in the 16500C file set
to the 16500C for proper operation.
2. Boot your 16500B/C from Disk 1 (insert the disk into the floppy
drive and turn on the power).
3. Copy all the files from Disk 1 and the rest of the disks you
created into the logic analyzer's \SYSTEM directory. To do this, start in
the System window, click Configuration, and select Flexible Disk. Then enter
the command Copy file: *.* type: DOS to: \SYSTEM on: Hard Disk and click
Execute. Click Continue if you are prompted to overwrite any files.
4. Remove the last floppy disk from the drive and cycle power on the
16500B/C. The analyzer will now boot from the new operating system files you
just copied.
Hi folks,
I have recently got a HP 7978 9-track tape drive with HPIB (IEEE 488,
GPIB) interface.
Now I'm looking for documentation. Does anybody have documentation for
that drive? Would be glad to hear from your....Thanks.
Any experience with interfacing these monsters to modern PCs?? I think
of writing a linux driver for it......
Best regards,
Philipp :-)

RX01 drives and RX02 drives are the same. Only the logic differs.

LC[x] and Classic both use the SuperDrive/3.5HD floppy mechanism, Lisa 3.5" uses the SSDD Apple 400k (hacked up from the standard 360k so Apple wouldn't have to redo the ROMs when they dropped Twiggy). a 800k external drive can be plugged into the classic, possibly (other compact Macs take it, as does the IIcx/ci), or a non-FDHD SE, original II, or <= Mac Plus machine come standard with 800k (or 400k) drives.
Reminder for people who don't work with Macs much - stuff gets written to disk (When a System 6 disk is put in a System 7 Mac, the desktop file is immediately recreated) without the explicit intervention of the operator. If this is done on a SuperDrive Mac, and the disk is then put back in a 400/800k Mac, it won't be able to read/mount the disk. Write protect all 800k floppies if you use them in a 1.4 MB Mac.
With the sad passing of Don S last year, one of the founders of the
Wisconsin Computer Society in the 70's, his window finds she must finally
begin the process of disposing of a basement full of stuff. Don was a
life-long experimenter and user of computing equipment which has mostly
found its way into the classification of "classic." Don and I
used/programmed DEC PDP-11 and Altos CP/M and MP/M machines together at
more than one job.
Here's a list of items that must go. Ideally, a small number of people
would take this collection, so as to not divide it all up and make
shipping/pickup complicated. If the person who wants the Altos computer
wants the disks, I will probably fish out all the Altos, MP/M and
application (not the Milenium Systems disks) and bundle that with the
computer.
The drive cabinet can go separately. Anything I suspect is DEC-related can
go separately. The Millenium stuff is probably a separate item as well,
unless someone wants all of it. If there's no interest in this collection
as large units, it will go in smaller chunks to whomever wants it.
She's not looking for money for this material, but can't bear any costs, so
S&H is on you, plus some $$ for packing materials. Local pickup would be
much, much better.

Hello Spike,
I found your beautiful schematics from the TI59 several years ago on the
Internet. I would aks you to send me a link or a copy of this page.
It would be very useful for me.
Thank you very much in advance

Not from me, you misquoted.
However I also have built using:
8008,8080,8085,8088,80C188
8048/9,8051
Z80, Z180, Z280, Z8000,
6800, 6809,
6502,65C02
1802
SC/MP (8a-500 8a600)
TI9900,
T11 (pdp-11),
2900 bitslice, raw TTL
And a assortment of NEC single chips (uCom4, uCOM8)
One addball I'm considering is taking an 8749 and programming it to emulate
another processor. With it's IO and internal eprom it's possible to treat
it as a microprogrammed system to emulate other hardware. Speed would be
low but for example emulating an 8008 (20uS instruction time) should be
near real time using an 11mhz 8749. Of course the goal could be to emulate
something else or create a new thing.

Never played much with FORTH, may have to change that.

As someone who has worked on TV's since the 1960's, and who worked as an
engineer in TV stations for many years, I think you are being paranoid and
getting far too worked up over nothing.
Connect an alligator clip from the metal blade of a (normal) screwdriver
(with a plastic handle) to ground (normally, chassis ground is also grounded
to the aquadag conductive coating on the outside of the CRT). Stick the
blade under the 2nd anode cap and touch the actual 2nd anode connector.
Yes, use only one hand. There may or may not be a spark, which you may or
may not hear. Leave it connected for a second or two, wait a second or two
and do it again or even 2 more times.
If you want to use a resistor in series with the ground lead, fine, I rarely
do and have never damaged anything (and many of the CRTs I've worked on are
a lot bigger and have a lot more voltage than any monochrome computer
monitor), but it's not a bad idea. However, don't go overboard on the value
of the resistor. You do not want "tens or hundreds of megohms", it would
take too long to discharge the voltage. There is only about 10,000 volts or
so on a 9" to 12" monochrome CRT (compared to more like 30,000 volts on a
large screen color CRT), so a one megohm resistor will limit the current to
10 ma. If you do use a resistor, always do a final discharge without a
resistor.
Also, if the unit has not been powered up in weeks or months, there probably
isn't anything there to begin with, although this would depend on the design
and components of the individual unit in question.
