Looking for an IBM AIX ThinkPad for a project (preferably a Model 85x or
860) running AIX (4.1.5 preferred but 4.2.1 ok), with or without the CDs.
If anyone has one sitting around doing nothing and would be willing to
negotiate parting with it, contact me off list.

Hi,
Is it just me, or have the CCtalk archives been removed? I just tried to view them, as I wanted to search for something before posting it to the group.
Here's the message I got:

I am using Firefox 2.0 (doubt it makes any difference, but you never know) on windows 2k.

Hello.
A member of the swedish forum called "odd hardware" on sweclocker.com
recently got som old memory that he would like to identify. One is
clearly HP, but it would be nice to know for which machine. The second
a Prime memory, and the third is a _huge_ core memory and without
any markings.
Pictures can be found here:
http://www.sweclockers.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=9039862#post90398…
The numbers on the HP memory are: 5060-8324 / A-1136-22 / 2304
The numbers on the Prime memory are: ART3572 REV E / PCB3573-001 REV E
So, does anyone recognize these? I've done some limited googling for the
HP board but came up short. Also, he seems willing to sell at least the
HP board.
Cheers,
Pontus.
I really need to be able to proof my own writing shhh...

I can only imagine that relatively soon they typical computer will be very different. In addition to a standard CPU
there will also be a pieces of silicon in your PC and those pieces of silicon will become your applications whenever they are loaded.

I interviewed for full time position in a company that develop dedicated super computers with FPGA. or whatever their hight density cousins are called
They reworked the back-end of the GCC compiler generated,what I can only imagine to be something near verilog code, (they would not elaborate) so than any application written in C/C++ would directly be use to program FPGA.
I remember them boasting that these dedicated Silicon Application would be significantly faster than a bunch of highend CPU running in parallel. Their primay client are DOD.
I can see this killing off embedded device development as we currently know it. All you need is a FPGA. Write your application in C/C++ then memory, CPU, etc all get generated automatically.
Relatively soon I can only imagine a vey interesting? future; in addition to a standard CPU
there will also be a pieces of silicons in you PC your will be become your application whenever load a application.
I have not been following FPGA industry but is there any FPGA infinatable reprogrammable?
?
Michael.

Oh, I was trying to be humorous about it. I write Verilog too; it's
fun in its own way.
I could just have easily grumbled about code bloat or not knowing how
to write machine code (not assembly, but knowing by heart the opcodes
and formats of a CPU). Or not being able to read the color codes on
6-dot mica capacitors. Or calling them capacitors instead of
condensors. Or not being able to do neat point-to-point wiring using
tie strips and waxed cable lacing. Or laying out 14 AWG busbar on
mahogany breadboards between surface-mount (meaning that they're
attached with woodscrews) components.
Times change, and all too frequently, we don't. All we can do is
grumble.

I am looking for CP/M Plus or dpc/OS disks for a late S-100 computer
made by Action Computer Enterprise, Inc. (ACE) called the Discovery 500
Multiprocessor. My research uncovered a few ads in Byte from late
1983/early 1984 that may not previously have been posted to the web:
http://vintagecomputer.net/ace/ACEDiscovery500Ads.pdf
The hard drive is toast, so I need an OS/system build disk, or manuals
to try to re-construct a CP/M BIOS.
Here are some pictures/info I collected:
http://vintagecomputer.net/browse_thread.cfm?id=230
Thanks
Bill
Anyone want small IDE disks?
I have about half a dozen on offer. All are IDE interface - I have 2
or 3 120MB drives, 1 x 105MB, 1 x 170MB, and a few others in
the range of 300-700MB.
Happy to post but P&P will be expensive as they're heavy.

Got myself a QVSS video board that I'd like to run in my MicroVAX II,
but either it's configured incorrectly or it doesn't work. Anyone have
a manual scanned or a list of the dip-switch settings for this? I can't
find any useful info on the 'net.
Symptoms are that the Keyboard responds (beeps at power up, I can hear
the keyclick when I type, and the VAX seems to be responding to input)
but I get no video or sync on the monitor (a VR262). Monitor, keyboard,
and cable all work fine on my MicroVAX 2000, so something must be up
with the QVSS.
Thanks,
Josh

I have to verify I still have it but I believe I do have a Compupro CPU68.

the parity light comming on at start is normal. the parity bit hasn't been
written with anything sensible yet as rams start up random.
