On Topic! kind of: Scots found first cybercafe in 1751

by spectre＠floodgap.com

This definitely meets the 10-year rule, as we now have proof that the Scots created the world's first cybercafe in 1751, centuries before Al Gore invented the Internet. http://www.theregister.com/2006/04/21/world_first_cybercafe/ -- --------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ --- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- Two can live as cheaply as one, for half as long. --------------------------

HP 1000 new arrivals

by rborsuk＠colourfull.com

What timing! Funny there should be a thread about HP 1000 series. I just received my two today. Here they are: http://homepage.mac.com/irisworld/PhotoAlbum1.html F series. You can also see a pic of my Data General Desktop Generation I just got in. Rob ps. Thanks for all the great advice on HP 1000's. I know I'm going to be doing a couple of things before I power them up.

IBM Bus & Tag channel protocol specs?

by pat＠computer-refuge.org

It looks like I'm acquiring more bus and tag (s/3x0 parallel channel) interface peripherals, and got to thinking... it'd be fairly neat if I could hook a peripheral up to something, like say, a PC, and get it to talk to Hercules. It's not terribly difficult to find a cable pinout, but I haven't yet been able to find a description of the protocol used on the channel cables (or even what voltage spec, etc, they have). Does anyone have a copy of this they could make available? Or, is it already available somewhere that my searching hasn't found? If I had lots (more) spare time, I might think about reverse engineering something, but I'd rather start with a spec of what things are supposed to look like.

Dueling HP's: 1350A vs 1351A

by legalize＠xmission.com

What is the difference between these two? HP 1350A graphics translator HP 1351A graphics generator The 1350A has a product page on hpmuseum.net, but the 1351A has some docs there that seem to describe the same product. However, one is a "translator" and the other is a "generator". Can anyone tell me how they are different? -- "The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline"-- code samples, sample chapter, FAQ: <http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/> Pilgrimage: Utah's annual demoparty <http://pilgrimage.scene.org>

cctalk Digest, Vol 32, Issue 38

by ssj152＠charter.net

Lyle, 1) I would appreciate it if you do NOT post ON-LIST any of the contents of any private email I have sent to you, no matter how harmless you deem the content. It simply is not appropriate. If I want it posted, I will start the conversation that way or respond to an on-list message. FWI - I sent it directly to you so spare you of any possible adverse response being shown on-line, not that I thought there would be any. 2) I also offered to assist you in this project. Look through the initial responses to your post announcing the availability of these items. As I recall, several people offered to help. 3) The effort you are making to regenerate the sources of TSX-Plus is admirable. It is quite some job to be a one-man project leader, architect, and primary worker - plus work full time and have an actual life. I know >from personal experience in a "former" life. 4) Why is it necessary to rebuild TSX-Plus from source before you can share it with hobbyists? Are the binaries non-existent or not usable? If I understood the scope of the problem, perhaps I (and others?) would be more supportive. Please don't misunderstand - resurrecting TSX-Plus and utilities is a neat thing to do, but how does it fit in with your earlier announcement?

The source listings are already up on bitsavers - and one of my DCL (DEC Computer Lunch) buddies here in SV has written a special OCR program that is scanning the listings to re-create the original MACRO sources of TSX. So there's plenty going on (no commitments on that totally happening, timing, etc.). > This is ridiculous. Should I approach S&H myself, on behalf of all of the > other interested parties? "Ridiculous" is in the mind of the beholder. Yes, I could have taken the time to put up the TSX website as opposed to obtaining every RL02 pack and SMD drive I could from S&H, preserving the contents, etc. But I figured that "exercise", which took weeks of my time was more important than "releasing" TSX code. I'm required under my agreement with S&H to have a website where I can "log" and "verify" to a reasonable extent that only hobbiests will be downloading the system, etc. I am committed to getting TSX into the hands of the "folks" - but I estimate that it will take a week or so of my time - contiguous - to do it. That hasn't happened yet - but I promise it will. Regards, Lyle -- Lyle Bickley Bickley Consulting West Inc. Mountain View, CA http://bickleywest.com "Black holes are where God is dividing by zero"

DEC M3134-PA DS500 module

by Useddec＠aol.com

The M3134 is a DEC board and your description sounds right. The -PA just indicates "S box" handles. Paul

1350 vs 1351

by bobalan＠sbcglobal.net

I have both the 1350A and 1351A. The main difference is the 1351A has more memory, 8000 vectors VS 2000 vectors, and 64 files VS 32 files. Also, My 1350A only address 1000 x1000 resolution and the 1351A 1020 X 1020 points.
