Hello folks,
Yesterday I drove down to Glendale California to pick up my Friden
Flexowriter. It's in fairly good shape, but will definitely need
some serious TLC before I even think about plugging it in.
I've put up some initial photos here (caution: the thumbnails link to
very large files).
http://www.loomcom.com/junk/friden/friden.html
It's a model SPS-C. I'll need to do some digging to find the serial
number and determine when it was built.
This appears to be an upper-case only model. The printable character
set on the type heads can be seen here: http://www.loomcom.com/junk/
friden/friden-Pages/Image7.html (around 2.5MB)
The upper-case letters all print "~", apparently. The upper case
numbers print the corresponding typewriter characters.
I'm sure I'll have more once I open it up and start poking around at
the internals. In the meantime, if you have a Flexowriter, would you
mind letting me know what your model number is?
Thanks!

I've got a few nested (via CALL) batch files that create different
files via the > and >> redirection operators under MS-DOS 7.01.
Everything seems to work fine until I've created more than the number
of files on my CONFIG.SYS FILES= statement--whereupon I get a "File
creation error" message and DOS hangs, necessitating a reboot.
It seems as if COMMAND.COM is keeping open any file created within a
batch script by redirection. Is this really so--or is it the case
that DOS isn't closing each batch file invoked with a CALL statement?
Assuming that this is a real stinker of a DOS bug, how does one get
around it?
Cheers,
Chuck
Hi, does anyone have any DLT 80 tapes
the 40GB (80GB compressed) version. I
have a HP Storedge backup unit I'd like
to start using, having some trouble finding
reasonably priced tapes.
Thanks.
Ian.

It's an M8315 card.
I agree, the zero-page logic also does things with the bit 4 line.
I'm looking into it. Whenever address bit 4 is "1", on the next
increment it always clears to a "0" even though there is no carry
that should cause that. I suspect the middle 7483 adder has an
internal fault.

Thanks
Apart from my systems being 11/94's (Which I am not sure matters)
That looks good.

Empirical evidence, from visual inspection of the 11/84 I use for
media transcription. Considering where I got it, this is almost
certainly not factory configuration, but was almost certainly configured
under DEC maintenance.
Slot 1: M8190-AE KDJ11-BF
Slot 2: M8637-BC MSV11-JB
Slot 3: M8637-DF MSV11-JD
Point of interest: I got this system when it was decommissioned from
production work, in 2004.
The other /84 is sitting behind some of my Spousal Equivalent's craft
stuff, so I couldn't check. I do not move her toys uninvited. :^)

Someone in Ogden contacted me out of the blue and gave me:
- Commodore C=64
- Commodore 1541 floppy drive
- Commodore MPS801 printer
- Texas Instruments color monitor
- TRS-80 Model III computer
- IBM 5150 w/1 floppy
- IBM 5151 monitor
- Apple ][e w/2 DISK ][
- Apple Macintosh Model M0001
- Columbia Data Products VP
- Some diskettes, but nothing out of the ordinary
Of these, if anyone is interested in the Columbia Data Products VP
<http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=889&st=1>,
let me know. It has just CGA graphics and isn't particularly
interesting to me graphics-wise, but someone who collects IBM clone
portables would find it interesting.

KZQSA does more in real life than it's supposed to. I have one in a VAX
4000/200 that I use to run CD-ROMs (the VAX wouldn't start up from a
Plextor 12x, but a Toshiba 4x is fine), and prior to my HSD05-AA hack
it was running a Seagate 4GB disk. Not fast, but it worked.
Not worth $100, but since you have it it will most likely function.
Was it der Mouse or VAX9000 who has the Qbus MSCP SCSI card kit in beta?
