One of your members (David Griffith), suggested I may be able to find (at classiccmp.org), someone who could provide me with a copy of an 8" boot disk (& diagnostics) for an Altos 8200-1. I would be more than willing to pay any costs incurred in copying/mailing the disks. Thanks, Lorne.

Spoken for: apollo Domain Documents

by mtapley＠swri.edu

To interested folks, Spoken for (already). I'll re-post if this doesn't work out, but I think that's unlikely. -- - Mark 210-379-4635 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Large Asteroids headed toward planets inhabited by beings that don't have technology adequate to stop them: Think of it as Evolution in Fast-Forward.

updates to the Alpha Micro Phun Machine

by spectre＠floodgap.com

I finished some updates to the Alpha Micro Phun Machine, for fellow enthusiasts of Alpha Microsystems machines. There is now Kermit for download (with source), along with new model pages for the Eagle 100 and AM-1200, and custodial corrections to the links, model list and AMOS primer pages. Please let me know of any deficiencies. AMPM is hosted on a real, life Alpha Micro Eagle 300 running AMOS 2.3a and AlphaTCP. http://ampm.floodgap.com/ -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- "Another day, another dangling modifier" -----------------------------------

Me I gave up on floppies as even at 1.44Mb they are slow and small. IDE of CF offer more space and less interface headches. Allison

need manuals (and additional 'wares) for THE CANON AS-100

by chrism3667＠yahoo.com

Yes finally made the ride up to Lake George, NY. It was a lot more painless then I suspected. The thing could have EASILY been shipped though, I don't know what this guy's problem was. Regardless though, it's in nice shape, is COLOR, and includes the 8" floppy box. No manuals. Some software on 5 1/4" and 8" disks (some of these disks may be 160k's though - hope ID can handle them <think so>). Haven't looked at any of that yet. There is a site out there (German I think) that has a good assortment of s/w, but no FORTRAN or COBOL I don't think. Anyhoo, need manuals and whatever other intangibles I can get my hands on. Digital camera repro's are fine (they're nice and quick). The guy was of the persuasion that this thing had 32k of ram. I said no way. And I was right - it has 512k. So being some of his information is of dubious value, I need to ask whether anyone can confirm or deny that this thing was available in Japan before the 5150 was. My guess is no. Was cp/m-86 available before the Peecee came out?

C/PM86 Was available a good friend ported Microsoft Quick C to the as100. The manuals are nothing special mostly dos programming stuff. Jim

I need one for a CMD FD repair, and the only source I can find wants $235.00 for it. Anyone know or another source or a compatible unit? Jim -- Jim Brain, Brain Innovations (X) brain at jbrain.com Dabbling in WWW, Embedded Systems, Old CBM computers, and Good Times! Home: http://www.jbrain.com
