Hi
They could be getting them form just about
anywhere. It could be from a post here, a friend that
has had his mail box scanned or a newsgroup post.
You most likely got the same ones I did. I look at
the source and if there is a new address, I forward
it to spoof at ebay.com. They follow up on these when
they can ( contry that really cares and has laws
enforces ).
From other post, I suspect they were taking advantage
of ebays problems. It is a good time to send out such
stuff when ebay can't imediately respond.

Hi
I think it is someone flooding their input. There
have been a burst of phishing emails to my hotmail
account. When people see ebay not responding they
may think there is a problem with their account and fall
for the phishing email.

Nabu 1600 - Ran Xenix and later QNX. I also have CP/M-86 for it. I
have photos and more info on my site. Definately not a PC (serial
terminals only, different disk system, proprietary memory management
unit etc.)
Icon - ran Qnx. It think most of these were 186 based. I just scanned
the technical manual if anyone wants it.
Compupro 8086 S-100 system.
NEX APC, a bit PC compatible, but I think the 8" drive make it qualify
as a non-PC (and it ain't THAT compatible).
DEC Rainbow - dual mode, the 8086 side would probably have been considered
as a "PC compatible" before people figured out that just running a port
of the same OS didn't make it so.
I'm sure there are lots more ...
Regards,
Dave

Hi
There were a number of CAD machines as well but I
just can't recall the names.
Dwight
Don't forget the Wang Professional Computer. The Wang
'Classic' was 8086-based IIRC. It ran MSDOS but could
not run PC software by default (because the BIOS was
'special', I believe).

Not enough info. The core I have has the DIP socket but nothing in it.

There were many multibus systems that used the 8086 (or 88) even
before the PC. I used one in summer of '81 with 4 NEC 8" DSDD
drives for 4mb online floppy and just under 1mb ram (the top 128K
had ram and rom mixed). Ran at 8mhz too.
Compupro had an 8085/8088 hybrid, and later there were 286 and even
386 cpus for S100.
So there were a fair number of non-PC 8086/88 and even later systems.

Real simple one but lacking data...
I have a Dataram DR-118A 16KWx12bit core for PDP-8 omnibus.
what I need is the setup to configure it as the first 16k
in the system. This way my PDP-8f will have 24k of operating
core.
The points for this on the board are P1 and TB1, I think.

My teletype is the TWX type with a 101C data set (modem) in the stand. The CCU has
a touch tone dialer and 6 lighted pushbuttons at the bottom. It appears the CCU wiring
is mostly an extension of the data set wiring. There are two 50 pin connecters routing
wires between the two.
I am trying to track down the local mode current generator. I believe it originates in the
data set. Anyone know if this is correct? I can't find any circuitry in my CCU which
generates this. With the data set connected I get no local mode current so the selector
continously cycles. I can disconnect the data set and inject a current to get it to stop.
Does anyone have a schematic for the 101C or the CCU in the teletype? There are some
descriptions (text only) in the ASR manuals but not enough for troubleshooting. My
only other option is to start trying to trace the wiring. Given the 7 circuit cards and
numerous relays in the data set, this would be a very big job.
Thanks,
Bill
