So far the changes I made to mail routing seem to be working perfectly.
However, if anyone notices that they suddenly can't post to the list any
longer, please email me at jwest at ezwind.net instead of my usual address.
This is temporary :)

I've got copy of FRAMEWORK II, the original SYSTEM1 disk is
damaged, and SYSTEM1(Backup) Is calling itself an unauthorized
copy, even though it's the original disk?
Any ideas on creating a good disk to use?
I don't know if this is bad news or even worse news, but for those who
haven't heard yet:
"At its Worldwide Developer Conference today, Apple announced plans to
deliver models of its Macintosh computers using Intel microprocessors by
this time next year, and to transition all of its Macs to using Intel
microprocessors by the end of 2007. Apple previewed a version of its
critically acclaimed operating system, Mac OS X Tiger, running on an
Intel-based Mac to the over 3,800 developers attending..."

I think most of the eggs are in one basket now, and not a very reliable
basket at that. :( Opinions?

I've finally managed to get the OEM 11/23+ to boot from an RL02 and run XXDP
(all I could find on RL02 media at the moment).
The lack of correct operation of the terminal was down to two things......
I read the DIP switches as inverse :-(
and
I got the RCV+ and a ground wire swapped in the terminal cable :-(
Major lesson from this exercise? Don't try and read the switches or make a
cable in a hurry....
Jim.

What you may find is APRS (Automatic Position Reporting System).

All:
OK, I heard from someone at ICS. Their building is across the
street from the old CSG facility.

Subject: Commodore CSG == ICS??
All:
I saw a news clip this morning about IDT (a semiconductor
company) buying Integrated Circuit Systems. ICS makes analog and mixed
signal chips and owns Turtle Beach Sound. The thing that made me curious was
that ICS was located in Norristown, PA. I thought to myself what are the
chances of there being two semiconductor plants in Norristown PA. The first
successor to Commodore CSG, GMT Microelectronics was also into mixed signal
ASICs.
ICS is located at 2435 Boulevard of the Generals, Norristown, PA
19403. The Commodore CSG was located at 950 Rittenhouse Road. So, I ran a
Mapquest on both addresses and it appears they point to the same physical
location in the Valley Forge Corporate Center at the corner of Rittenhouse
Road and Van Buren. Hmmm...
According to the public filings, ICS bought the property in
1992, which was before Commodore failed in 1994. And, it's known that GMT
Microelectronics (now defunct; owned by former CSG engineers and managers)
bought the old CSG plant in 1996. So, it can't be the same location...maybe
there are two semicon plants next door to each other??
Interestingly the president and CEO, Hock Tan, joined ICS in
1994. ICS was incorporated in Pennsylvania in 1976. Prior to joining ICS,
Hock Tan was Vice President of Finance of Commodore International, Ltd.
So, I emailed a contact at the Company, but I haven't heard back
yet. Does anyone on the list live near Norristown, PA? It's about a 3 hour
hike from me, so it's not that easy for me to visit.
