Hello Everybody,
OK I finally got off my butt and took some pictures. Here's pictures of
everything that I have. <http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/Sage/>

They most certainly did. That's who made the Corvus Concept
and various OEMed 68k workstations.
They also built x86 stuff near the end.
There were a couple of generations of Omninet, the ones with
the pin connector was the first
More docs than you care about on this stuff on bitsavers under
corvus.
Chuck:
Interestingly, I've tried to use that program and it mostly reports
that the drive access fails, even though the drive works fine (CP/M boots
and is usable). I will give it another go however.

There are a couple of Icom diagnostics in the SIG/M volume 5 archive that
do perform formatting. Check out, for example, 3712DIAG.ASM.

Hi Joe
'Not many 1702's made. They are truely rare. 1702A's were
by the milions. 1702B's were not made by Intel that had
already stopped producing them by then. I think AMD was
one of the manufactures of 1702B's. I have one someplace.
I don't have a 1702 but I do have a 1602 that uses the
same algorythm as the 1702 does. I can program 1702's
with my sim4-01 setup but I'd need to change the code
a little to match. There is a hardware switch as well.

All:
I'm having a devil of a time getting my Icom disk system working
to my satisfaction due to a flaky second floppy drive. Anyway, in the rare
times that I can get the second floppy to work, I want to make a backup of
my boot disk. I found the original disk from Icom and there doesn't appear
to be a "format" program on it.
Does anyone know if the Frugal Floppy system had and/or used a
disk formatting program before SYSGENning the disk?

Hi
I'm sure you mean 1702A or 1702B. The 1702 used
a different programming algorithm!

There's a copy of the 1955 Ferranti Pegusus programing manual on eBay
at the moment. (item 8774515396).
I was very tempted to buy it and scan it, but then I noticed that a
scan of the 1962 edition of the same manual is already available from
bitsavers.org.
The introduction to the 1962 version mentions the original document
and says that it adds extra information about the Pegasus 2 to it,
but it doesn't really say if anything else has changed. Does anyone
happen to know if there's any useful/interesting material in the 1955
edition that *isn't* in the 1962 edition?
Cheers,
Brian.
Have you documentation for it?
Can you send me ?
Thank you very much in advance.
