HP75 computer

by silent700＠gmail.com

Here's my latest thrift score: http://flickr.com/photos/chiclassiccomp/1352040166/ Two questions: - Does anyone know the story with the AT&T rebadging? Was it sold this way? Internal use only? What was it used for there? - How the @!%# do you get it out of the docking pod? I'm beginning to think it's been bolted in somehow by AT&T.

decent used laptops

by dgriffi＠cs.csubak.edu

A professor has asked me where one can find decent used laptops. That is, he needs something close enough to the bleeding edge where he can run current applications, but far enough away that he won't have to pay much. -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu

I don't think it was mentioned that the NSC800 runs Z80 instructions but has the exact same pins and interface as the 8085. I don't recall if the NSC800 had the serial instructions of the 8085 but in this case, I don't think that is an issue. It was true that the 8085 had just about as fast an execution as the Z80, without the extra instructions of the Z80. This was true for all but the tightest loops using some of the special Z80 instructions. I recall when I was working at Intel, we looked at many of the Z80 instructions and found them to not be anything but code efficient with comparable speeds. I have a couple NSC800s but not as separate packages. They are in MA2000 modules. The NSC800 also has the advanges of being CMOS. This means lower power than either the 8085 or Z80.

Old mini computer

by simca＠videotron.ca

To computer collector, Sir, The mini-computer I have is a B80 from Burroughs. It was bought in 1978 and I used It until 1989. In 1989 It was in working condition. The measurements in inch are: Mini-computer: W=70 D=29 H=30 ( Photo ) Disk drive cabinet: W=22 D=29 H=44 ( Photo ) Power supply: W=22 D=29 H=30 ( No Photo ) The measurements are with the wheels. I would GIVE these 3 articles, but your organisation will have to come to get it before October 5, 2007. Looking forward having news, Michel Courchesne 450-454-5631 simca at videotron.ca

Compaq BIOS, sp0308.zip

by dpor02＠yahoo.com

Any chance someone has a copy of sp0308.zip for Compaq 386s? Tried link from http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2005-August/048574.html at ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp0000-0500/sp0308.zip but no luck.
