I've more of these than anyone will need and they're all brand new.
3 packs of Bernoulli 5.25 44meg disks
KAO 5.25 88meg syquest disks. The label inside says they are formatted for
Macs but includes software for wintel machines also.
$1 each plus whatever for shipping and they're yours. Just say how many you
want.

Does anyone have docs for this beastie? it's an apple-II on a card that
goes into an XT... or does anyone have any interest in it? it's been
sitting on my shelf for ~ 12 years now...

20th Anniversary Mac? You booger... I may have to grab it when
you're not looking.

Well, the Univac III is back: UNIVAC III Computer (In Storage since 1975),

OK, somebody, jump right on it! :-)

Certainly, there are a lot of logic analyzsers (or
analysers, if you are English) floating around. I was
told by a guy who specializes in "refurbished" (i.e.
dusted off) test equipment that this is because a lot
of it is gov't surplus where they just grab the unit.
He also mentioned that a lot of university surplus has
partially blown pods because of carelessness - due to
the nature of what they do, not much protection on the
inputs.
I have a Tek 1230 which I was lucky enough to get some
pods with. I had another one w/o pods and GOOD LUCK on
getting schematics, etc on this stuff - it's a "black
art" proprietary sort of thing.

Hi Guys,
I've just posted my utility which allows you to make Cromemco BOOT disk
via a serial cable and RDOS to my site:
http://www.parse.com/~ddunfield/museum/index.html
Go to the very bottom of the main page, and select "disks and images",
the utility is called RT050410.ZIP (I'll think of a better name later).
I've also posted CROMDISK.ZIP which contains:
CDOS disk configured for dual 5.25" drives
(It's easy to make an 8" disk from this)
Cromix in both 5.25" and 8" formats.
Please refer to the RT.TXT file enclosed for information on how it
all works.
NOTE: So far this has been tested and found to work on only my one
Cromemco system, which is a System-3 with ZPU, 256KZ and 16FDC (plus
a bunch of Tuarts, PRI and WDI boards which don't matter for this).
This machine has dual Tandon 8" drives, and I've got a pair of Teac
5.25" drive attached externally ...
The RDOS on the 16FDC is version 2.52 ... it is possible/likely that
I have done things which may not be compatible with other versions
of RDOS, please report your findings to me.
I'm supposed to be picking up two more Cromemco systems next week,
one of which I know has a 4FDC (I think the other is another 16FDC),
so I should be able to verify/fix operation with the 4FDC shortly.
If anyone happens to have a spare 64FDC, I would love to have one
available so that I can get it working with the full set.
Regards,
Dave
PS: Mike S. reports that the CDOS/INIT problem with 32k occurs only
when you are running it in 64k - on a true 32k only system, he says
it works OK - if you have only 32k, you may be able to skip the
intermediate disk - hopefully we can dig up a version of CDOS & INIT
which will resolve this little oddity.

Just wanted to say thanks for the people who have contributed knowledgebase
articles to the classiccmp knowledgebase (www.classiccmp.org/kb)
I do know that one person here is working on a really good article, should
show up there soon!
So, who wants to spearhead putting in a short knowledgebase article about
hooking HP-IB devices, given the recent discussion :>

Well, I have good news and I have good news... (and just a little bad news)...
I have now erased a bajangle of eproms, I have quite a few Basics burned
and lots of spare blank carts, so they'll hit the mail soon. I have
tomorrow off, so I'll prolly pack/address/ship then. If not, definitely
over the weekend. Tuesday nite was going to be my "Pack'em up nite" but the
wifeypoo got a line on a good job, so it was transformed into "Rewrite the
Resume nite."[1] Wednesdays are a PITA for me (to work at 7:30am, get out
at 8:30 pm or later) so I rarely feel like doing anything after work. Of
course, my LCD monitor "went blank" Tuesday nite, so I had to figure out
the cause of that last nite... I was a grumpy dude by 11:00 pm. ;-) Turns
out the LCD monitor died... :-( I grabbed my wife's monitor and am using
that temporarily until I can get a new one in.
I did test a basic cart in my HHC, and it seems to work fine, *except* I
think my RAM's a bit wonky, as once I create a program, then exit BASIC, it
thinks I have 2 bytes of free memory left. Weird. It might also be a
limitation as to *which slot* the chip goes into - I didn't diddle with
that. Or... I don't believe that the internal batteries are functioning, so
it might be a power problem causing the wonkeyness... Anyway, the Basic
itself comes up and it takes immediate commands just fine, and I've entered
in 2-3 line programs that run fine until you exit basic, then it thinks
there's no free memory left. Like I said, weird.
Anyway, I'll send out individual emails tomorrow with the status of each
order, but I wanted to let everyone know I didn't forget 'em!
;-)
