> Does anyone have any info on this unit?
Going from memory this is one of the add ons for the
Anritsu spectrum analyser range. The slots were for
'personality' modules that added functions to the basic
analyser and the disk drive was for data logging.
I used Anritsu analysers quite a bit. They were, at only
twice the cost of the Landrover Discovery I used to carry
them around in, a lot cheaper than the HP equivalents.
Can't remember if the slots were PCMCIA or not.

I'm glad you saved them. I can't imagine there are too many around. I
have a Model 12 that has been "officially" upgraded to a Model 16B. Its
an interesting mix - Model 12 look, Model 16B workings. Last I checked
it wouldn't boot so that's a job for a rainy day on the bench.

Subject: Today's TRS-80 haul
Through the grapevine I heard about some computers that needed saving.
Anyway, I made the 1.5 hour drive to Montvale, NJ and this is what I got
for my effort:
3 TRS-80 model 12 computers, complete with keyboards.
2 Boxes of manuals
1 Box of miscellaneous 8" diskettes.
I know there isn't a lot of interest in the model 12, but it is one of
the very first computers I ever worked on. I'm glad that I was able to
find 3 of them in great shape.
If anyone knows of any of the "big iron" TRS-80/Tandy computers that
need rescuing, let me know. I've hauled them back to New Jersey from as
far away as Arkansas.

Hi,
I made an image of an old tape I have (I think it has a copy of the
whitesmith's C compiler on it).
I'm not sure how it was made, however. I think it is just done with
PIP. It has a lot of tape marks separated by a variable number of
records.
The first record of each tape 'file' is 14 bytes. All records after
that are 512 bytes. The 512 byte records are clearly the file contents.
After the file contents there is a tape mark.
I'm guessing the 14 bytes is radix-50 file name + info.
What's the best way to make sense of this from unix? (short of running
RSTS on an emulator). Is there a unix/dos program which which can
interpret the data?
Will PUTR be able to read and show a directory if I turn the simh format
file into a byte stream? (wish putr could read simh style tape images)
thanks!

Does anyone have any info on this unit? It's about 4" high, about 12"
wide and about 15" deep and has a HP-IB port on the rear and what looks
like two PCMCIA slots and a 3 1/2" disk drive on the front.

I just snagged an ABOVO PCD-P with remote display unit, mostly
because it was cheap and it has a keyboard. :)
It didn't come with a charger or documentation, and Google is not
very forthcoming with information. It seems to be a text-messaging
unit, with an ADB computer interface and infrared output to the remote
LCD device.

It's definitely not 10 years old, but IMNSHO it's odd enough for a
dispensation. :)
Any info, resources, docs, or software would be much appreciated. I
have email in to DCD's support, but I'm not counting on much of a response.

While looking around, I found a SGI brochure on FutureTech that indicated
that the FPA was an option on the Personal Iris [4D/20 - ???] Does anyone have an
idea of which versions of IRIX emulated FPU instructions? (5.3 doesn't seem
to)
