The original Ford Mustang (1964 1/2) was slated to have a rotary too.
Some early marketing material and a coffee-table book or two mention the
existance of a rotary model, but none are known to have been registered
as far as I can tell.

All:
Does anyone have the configuration switch setting information for
the CompuPro RAM14 manual? I've gone to the usual manual archives and no one
seems to have the RAM14 manual.
Thanks.

No! The drive should be jumperd for DSDD use. The media should be
standard Floppy Brown stuff. All of the DSHD drive will do DSQD
mode if setup (jumpers) correctly.
The 5.25" HD mode is both higher data rate and differnt media and
they must match. Unfortunatly the Altos does not drive the disk
at that data rate.
It may plug and go depending on the cable and the drive.

Hello fellow ClassicCmp'ers,
I have just completed another kilometre-post on my road of migration
>from a VT320 to a Classic X11 environment. I wrote and released a
library that can be used by X11 applications to turn the X11 keyboard
into an IFCTF keyboard, i.e., an extended ASCII input generator rather
than a random bank of buttons. It is called the X11 IFCTF keyboard
library and can be found on my FTP site:
ifctfvax.Harhan.ORG:/pub/unix/X11/libXIFCTFkbd-1.0.tar.Z
It takes the next step beyond keycode-to-keysym translation and turns
the keyboard input into extended ASCII. For an explanation of what I
mean by this you'll need to download the library and read the
documentation.
This library will be used by my HECterm/X11 terminal application. One
thing that I absolutely have to have in order to migrate from the VT320
I'm typing this on to an X11 environment, even a Classic one (X11R4
client environment under 4.3BSD-Quasijarus talking to a standalone X11
display on Ethernet), is a text terminal application that can match the
quality of a real DEC VT terminal. Since this is so critical to me, I
have decided not to rely on anyone else's software and to write my own
terminal application from scratch. I'm already well into it and it's
coming along nicely. When it's ready, I'll of course release it as
public domain software as well and announce it here.

What is the "proper" name for the Tandy Color Computer? Is it that? Or
is it "Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer"? Or is it "Radio Shack TRS-80 Color
Computer"?
I guess it also depends on what model we are talking about, so let's say
the original and the CoCo2. I know the CoCo3 was pretty much labeled
Tandy by then.
Thanks!

D: 8216
F: 8224
K: 8212
Rich Cini has a pile of Altair 8800B documentation on his site:
http://highgate.comm.sfu.ca/~rcini/classiccmp/
Look under "Altair 8800 Emulation", then "Technical Links".
You could also try Howard Hart's site:
http://www.hartetechnologies.com/manuals
You may have to do a bit of digging, the 8800B CPU info may
be buried in the 8800B system documentation.
Regards,
Dave
