Dear Ram, I saw your post: http://classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2005-July/047615.html I also need a Cfront Translator from C++ to C (preferably for MS-DOS or Windows). Company previously used a, now deceased Apollo workstation with Domain 2.1.0. But its not working any more, so have managed to move all but the C++ to C translation onto the Microsoft development platform. If you get any feedback I would appreciate it. Sincerely Ian Finlay Wormald Technology

BBC monitor up for grabs

by peter.hicks＠poggs.co.uk

All, I have a BBC monitor up for grabs - I know nothing about it, but do have the following two pictures: * http://www.welikegoats.com/ebay/bbc1.jpg * http://www.welikegoats.com/ebay/bbc2.jpg It comes with a free DB9 to mini-DIN lead too. Offers in the region of ?0.00p, but you'll have to collect from Leatherhead (UK). If you're interested, drop me a mail off-list (otherwise it's going to go in a folder I don't read often!).

Fs/Ft. HP-HIL/ SUN converters

by roosmcd＠dds.nl

Hello, I've got three original (no idea if anyone else beside HP made these) HP-HIL keyboard adapter modules, without any cables however. IIRC these will allow you to connect a standard PS/2 keyboard and mouse to any workstation with HP-HIL keyboard connector (although it's been some time since I had a workstation with HP-HIL). Another thing I have is a couple of Siplex FT SMS U10 and SMS U8, made by Infratec (googling for infratec+siplex should give you the page). These would be to connect a machine with a SUN keyboard or console connector to a KVM switch, but unfortunately they have the wrong firmware in them. IIRC there was an ATMega uC inside them. These do come with a cable set. As for trades, a better videocard for an PWS500a would be nice, otherwise laserdiscs, CD-i or a MCA soundcard/networkcard for my P70. Also looking to get rid of a few P2000 machines an a Domesday system. greetings, Michiel

Update on VCF East 3.0

by news＠computercollector.com

Here's an update... - We have nine exhibitors already signed up. Visit the VCF web site at http://www.vintage.org/2006/east/exhibit.php to sign up now. We're close to finalizing the prices; it will probably be $25 to exhibit (as a non-profit group we REALLY need the funds.) - We arranged for discounted rooms (Fri., May 12 - Sun., May 14) at the nearby Holiday Inn (where these is good food and broadband) -- call (732) 544-9300 and tell them it's for the Vintage Computer Festival. - In addition to the antique computers, there will be a special area with small exhibits from the other groups headquarted at our venue (the InfoAge Learning Center) which includes historic collections of military vehicles, diving gear, radio, and more. - Although this VCF is only one day (Sat., May 13), there will still be a post-VCF event for exhibitors and VIPs that evening. - We haven't yet started signing up speakers, but that will begin soon. Meanwhile we are trying to get some celebrity speakers (relatively speaking!) with an emphasis on computing history local to the east coast. Let your imagination run wild. :) ----------------------------------------- Evan Koblentz's personal homepage: http://www.snarc.net Computer Collector Newsletter: >> http://news.computercollector.com Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing Hobbyists & Museum: >> http://www.marchclub.org >> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/midatlanticretro/

Favorite DOS batch language

by cclist＠sydex.com

Does anyone have any favorites when it comes to extending MS-DOS's batch language? Ideally, I'd like a facility to do simple arithmetic and looping and be able to parse filenames into their components a la 'C' "splitpath". Long file name support would be a bonus. Anyone have any candidates? Cheers, Chuck

Free DEC BA123 chassis in Michigan

by fernande＠internet1.net

Hi all, I have a BA123 that I don't need. It's disassembled and didn't look the greatest before being taken apart. The outside panels are a bit warped and dirty/scratched. It looks to be structurally sound, However. I do have the power supply, although, I haven't tried testing it. Pick up only in Battle Creek. Chad Fernandez Michigan, USA
