"csd.uwm.edu" would be the Computing Services Division of the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, where I worked in the early 80's. At least back then, there was no archive associated with CSD. --al (Software Curator, Computer History Museum)

On.T. Pionex P1-200MMX system tower , needs a new home. Actual shipping + $8.00 for effort and materials.

by whdawson＠nidhog.net

<lurk off> Before I offer this on the local Freecycle maybe there's someone here that would want it. Solidly built and has lots of expandability, a very well laid out Wintel box. Lots of room. Currently running Windows 95 OSR2B and has passed memtest, very stable & very clean. According to the current rules this is OnT. If I offend anyone, please accept my apologies. I don't want to start a war, I only want a fellow collector to have this "classic" machine, if wanted. I just don't have any more room and can't stash it away. Those of you that have been here know what I mean. Motherboard is a BioStar MP-8500TVG with i430VX chipset (Details can be found on archive.org (wayback machine)). Can take AMI, Cyrix and Intel processors. Also will take a P1-233MMX. AMI BIOS (TVG0819 1995) 51-0819-001223-00111111-071595-82430VX-H (nice BIOS) 4 PCI slots, 4 ISA slots. 2 USB ports 2 serial, 1 parallel. 3GB hard drive, IDE (1.36 GB free) 2 empty 3-1/2 hard drive bays! 1 CDROM, unknown speed, IDE Standard 3-1/2 1.2MB floppy drive. 3 empty 5-1/4 bays! Pentium 200MMX (Socket 7) 512K L2 cache (verified with cachechk) 32MB memory (2x16 pin 72 pin). There are 2 more empty 72 pin memory sockets and 2 168 pin sockets. Mix and match is OK, I tried it and it works (with older non SPD chip 168 pin memory). Also takes EDO. S3 Virge PCI video Ensonique PCI sound 200W Bestec power supply. Various software applications of the Win95 Era and a few newer (of the Orifice 2K persuasion) others. RingCentral 4.0: Phone Answering Machine application with mailboxes and Faxing software (sorry, I'm likely keeping the installed ViVa 56LC-SM modem, but the this application should work with any voice modem if you want to use this box as an answering machine. A few cheap-bottle-of-wine $s would convince me to leave the ViVa modem in). I'm in Washington, PA, zip code 15301. Pick up to save shipping and effort costs is OK. Email me directly if interested at pionex_at_ss-50_dot_com.

Well, Tony, that probably is a good question, but honestly I do not know for sure. My own guess is also that this particular card worked for the crashed harddrive only... The card consists out of 2 rather big main processors from what I can tell : - SMS OMTI 20516B (84 pins) - SMS OMTI 20513 (84 pins) And then some other smaller components from: - SMS OMTI J20527C - ZILOG Z86C9112VSC All other components are pretty much mainstream Mhz-crystals and small diodes/resistors The board is about the size of half a CD-box and has no power connection, only the 50 pins cable from the motherboard and the 26 pins cable to the harddrive...

o thats right pengies live in the n.hemisphere.

FPGAs, unobtanium and FPJ11s

Can't really answer your primary question, but to fill in some information for you, the FPA for the J11 is an *accelerator* (hence FPA, and not FPP). It will not add any instructions to the CPU. The J11 already implements all the instructions of the FP11. What the FPA do is speed them up. And software wise, there is plenty of software that uses the FP11 instructions. Mostly high level languages, though. Johnny
