Daniel,
I just stumbled across your posting of LA160 software - I would love a copy if we can arrange it ?
As per my previous LA160 postings you can contact me directly on ...

I'll have to look. But, I don't think this board has sockets.
I believe it has 4 banks of soldered in 64k chips.
Thanks!
And if you re-read my message. The RAM board is UNPOPULATED. It has NO
CHIPS.
I was going to scavenge some from somewhere...

Some time ago, someone proposed making pdp8-style flip chips from
surface-mount components. Here's a project that sort of does that:

All:
Ok, I admit, I probably should know this by now, but did an
IMSAI-specific version of BASIC exist that can be loaded by paper tape? I
have all of the Altair BASICs in tape format for my 8800b, but I have an
IMSAI too and I've spent so much time fiddling with the floppy system (which
still doesn't work) that I've never really played with it. The IMSAI I have
as a Z80 CPU and 48k but I think I have an original 8080 card for it
somewhere.
Thanks.

Why did they decide to call it that? Did the
abbreviation (or whatever you call it) come
first, or did they call it Fido Opus and then
just expanded on it?

I went ahead and dragged the unix box out to hook up to the 11/34 so I could
run vtserver and back up some rl disks I have.
My /34 doesn't have ODT built in of course, so I had to keep entering the
vtserver bootstrap manually. I got tired of this, since vtserver has an
option to download the bootstrap if you have ODT. So I hacked up vtserver to
now also support a -ce option along with -odt. If you specify -ce vtserver
assumes you have the console emulator running that is provided on the M9312
board and downloads the bootstrap using the syntax expected by it instead of
ODT. Timesaver for me. If anyone wants a copy of it, no problem. One slight
bug - it requires you to hit enter to start the download and I'm not sure
why, fixing that is a project for another day.
Come to think of it, I should have vtserver send a carefully crafted command
and look at the response from the host, thus distinguishing automatically
whether it was ODT or the console emulator it was talking to. That way there
would be one command option (-bootstrap perhaps) and it would do the right
thing. However, I'd rather not change existing options.
Anyways... when I run vtserver and select an input of rl(0,0,0) it says that
it failed to get sts. However, it still asks for the output file, and copies
the rl image to my pc hard drive. Any idea why the "failed to get sts"
message happens?
Thanks for any input!

I seek a MOS 6545-1 (or Motorola's MC6845) is for a CBM 8296
motherboard. The chip is running hot and there is no screen output. The
6545 is the Cathode Ray Controller for the built-in monitor. Anyone with
information on how I may obtain such chip, please let me know
privately. Will pay $$.
Thanks.

Deskmate is even a possibility, as I believe it had a
telecom program built in. but I aint positive.
