Hi folks,
I just got a bunch of DECTapes. They're online:
http://pdp8.hachti.de?download/lab8e_dectapes
Does anyone know the "Advanced Averager"? It seems to be complicated
and I don't have a clue what it is... It belongs to the LAB-8/e software
package (resp. it IS the package). When I start it using the supplied
.BI file, it says something like "trigger" and starts drawing a moving
dot on the VR14 CRT....
Best wishes,
Philipp :-)
P.S.: Would cool to see the stuff on bitsavers :-)
Does anyone on the list know anything about this? I was given a Mindset
with two plug-in modules:
Mindset Host Adapter Interface Module
Mindset Hard Disk Cartridge
The former has a bus connector at one end and a DB37F on the other. No
disk controller chip, just a bunch of TTL logic. I'm guessing either a
proprietary bus or SCSI managed in software (a la Apple 2 Sider).
The "Hard Disk Cartridge" contains a pair of EPROMs.
Any information appreciated!

It's a rather old (on the order of 10 years) old Xyplex switch.
it's an 8 slot or 12 slot chasis, I believe it runs BPG (Border Gateway Protocol).
So it probably has about 40 ports or so...
Hasn't been powered on in years.
The ports may only be 10MB, perhaps 100MB at best.
It's about the size of a bar fridge or a BA-23 chasis. weighs a lot.
May be worth more to a scrap dealer.
I need it gone by the end of the month, or I scrap it myself.
last chance!
Dan.

It seems that Sun has discontinued (hopefully temporarily) desktop Sparc
machines. Can someone tell me how the prices of these machines compared
with their line of x86 machines?

I wish! Although it isn't a bad idea, if one could find the source to
ISIS. I am running the ISIS simulator in a DOS box in WIndows XP which is
running in Parallels on my Mac Pro quad procesor. I use ZTERM on the Mac as
a dumb terminal and load programs using the 'send text' command. I wrote a
hex loader into the SCS monitor which I have in EPROM in the IMSAI so I
just send the hex output from OBJHEX to the loader through zterm. I am now
working on the floppy primitives and perhaps eventually will try to get CPM
running. ISIS would be more fun, any idea where the source is?
I did a consulting gig with an automotive diagnostic company in Kalamazoo,
MI back in 1979 when I was working at National Semtconductor. Great fun,
although I had NO idea what I was doing, being less than a year out of UC
Berkeley. Those were heady days!

The catch, though, is that the System 3 needs a +24V supply as well, for
the FDD. I have one, and it uses an oddball connector, too, which is one
of the reasons I haven't gotten around to fixing the drive yet (which has
problems), I need to make an extension power cable for the drive so it can
be powered up and out in front of the case.

----------------Reply:
Sounds like you've got one of the later System 3's with a Tandon TM848;
the older ones used dual-slot Perscis, which used 110VAC for the motor.
And of course he could also use a 5 1/4" drive instead.

---------Correction:
It's been a while, and memory's fading - of course the Perscis also used
24VDC, for head load etc, so yes, that's a snag unless he uses 5 1/4s.
