Hi Made a mistake and left out part of the pointer. The first one should have been: http://members.tripod.com/~oldboard/assembly/bios_data_area.html Hope this didn't cause any great confusion.

MS Network Client under DOS 3.3 working

I have it too working under VMWARE for running programs that no-longer work under Windows XP DOS windows (e.g. Turbo-C). However, I do not have the library that allows programs to use the IP facilities. If anybody has this library, please let me know. Microsoft used to have it on their web site, but I can't find it.

I noticed a W9040 card on ebay 5171947200 Would this be the right extender card to work on my unibus 11/45? If so, I'll put in a bid on it. Jay West

Color ASCII terminals

by rcini＠optonline.net

Hello, all: Looking for recommedations for a color ASCII terminal for my computer lab. I know about the B&W/green vintage ones (ADM, Hazeltine, etc.) but I'm not too familiar with color terminals. Are there any that look reasonably "vintage" or is that a pipe dream?

Calling PDP8 / OS8 /basic gurus!

by ron.hudson＠sbcglobal.net

I am running OS8 on a pdp8 simulator in my iBook. I get the . prompt, I run BASIC, type in the single line 10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD" RUN it prints out the header, then prints ME 10 Well, it's a very simple BASIC statement, did I get it wrong? (or is the simulate broken?) It's a nice simulator with a front panel-blinkenlights Anyone know how to boot the PASCAL-S Disk? The simulator has a menu selection that fat fingers in the RK8-E boot loader (strictly cheating I know.) but once that is set in motion nothing seems to happen.

Cromemco Software - what to do with it?

Randy has suggested that Gaby might put it on her site, so that might be the answer. Maybe those of us who have some Cromemco S/W could get together here or off-list and compare who's got what. How about it Randy, you're doing such a fine job with the 8"/3.5" issue, feel like organizing something else? It's even relevant... ============== >> For that matter, is there any point? I don't see many people writing >> Cobol or Fortran programs to run on a System 3... >Yes. There's always value in preserving this stuff. Even if not apparent >to us now. And it only takes the space of a floppy disk (or no space at >all once it's been converted over to a modern hard disk). -------------------------- Well, that brings up the second point: if it's going to be archived on the 'net, in what format? As discussed elsewhere, PC images of Cromemco disks can be a problem because of their SD/DD mixed format. Ordinary CDOS files are less of a problem since they're 8.3 file names with no subdirectories; they can fairly easily be copied to a PC & ZIPped, and copied back to a CDOS disk. CROMIX & UNIX files are a little more problematic, because of the long file names & subdirectories. They can be TAR'd, but again, Cromemco being Cromemco, they used several incompatible TAR/TARZ80/FTAR formats. BTW, Cromix V31.58, for example, consists of 10 FTAR disks, although the Z80 versions are much smaller (2 disks) And of course there's still the problem of the mixed format boot disks. Any thoughts/a consensus? =============== >> So, any ideas what to do with it? (no obscene suggestions, please!) >Stick it up your hard drive? ------------------------------ Well, that's what I've been doing, but a good dump would be welcome :) Just need an appropriate site. =============== >> BTW, any news about what happened with Don Maslin's collection? >I'm wondering the same thing. ------------------------------ And what about Al Kossov's site? mike

picking locks

by Innfogra＠aol.com

It is interesting to note that when I read this mail on gmail that one of the adds posted was for lockpicks. They are not illegal in Oregon nor are Scanners. The only scanners illegal here are ones that scan the cellular band and that is a federal rule. Paxton Astoria, OR

picking locks (OT)

by cb＠mythtech.net

>Guess I'll be hunting for a centre punch too ... You can get one of them at any decent tool dealer (or any non decent dealer that sells more then 4 plastic handled screwdrivers). A center punch's "true" purpose is to mark or ding items. ie: before drilling a hole in a metal sheet, you can use the center punch to ding the metal so the drill bit won't slide around as it gets started. They are really handy for breaking tempered glass cleanly. (just never use one on your leg, as I found out the hard way... it hurt so much I thought I exploded my femur). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
