Hi all,
I'm looking for a 10-sector 5.25" floppy in the Northstar format. Either
a boot disk or a data disk would be fine. If anyone has one they'd be
willing to part with, please contact me off-list. Thanks!

I have set up a VMS 4.7 machine on SIMH (using the 3900 emulation) but I
can't see how to set up clustering. The only cluster-related procedures I
have in SYS$MANAGER are MAKEROOT.COM, BOOT_CONFIG.COM and
SATELLITE_CONFIG.COM. They all tell me "This system disk is not set up as a
cluster system disk." I cannot see how to get started to make the system a
cluster system disk, can anyone tell me what the first step is?
Thanks

The other day I snagged some misc computer/console stuff and included in the lot were some AFP MC1000 cartridges (1978 vintage I think).
Since I don't have that system or plan of getting one I figured somebody might want them (open to offers).
The carts are:
MG1007 Blackjack
MG1004 Bowling.Micro match
MG1009 Casino 1 :slots/roulette/keno
MG1003 Hangman/TIC TAC TOE/Doodle
MG1005 Brickdown/Shooting Gallery
Since there were only 12 or so carts made for this system this is almost half of all games sold. They look clean but are untested.
I'd very much like to learn and use CPM-68K, as well translate my 8080 CBIOS to it to contribute back to the public. If anyone has a DPU they'd like to sell or trade, please email me at js at cimmeri.com.
Thank you.
I recently got a TI Silent 700 ASR; thats the one with two cassette
drives on top. It is more or less dead, so I need a service manual.
Does anyone have it or know of an online copy?
Kind regards

Wow. That's fiddly. I can understand things being difficult - the
information density on a fiche is rather high.
Speaking of fiche scanning, I was going through some boxes last week
and ran across the source fiche for VMS 2.0. I know it's far from the
only copy in the world, but it did make me wonder if anyone has an
electronic copy. It'd be a hell of an OCR project (or an interesting
Captcha dataset), but even scans could be interesting to read through.
What I have is one 3-ring binder with a special fiche-storage insert -
you can read the top 1/4" to see that you have the right fiche, and
the lower 90% is protected from dust and scratches. There's at least
20 fiche to a "page" in the notebook, and it's one or two "pages".
Elsewhere, I know I have VMS 4.0 and probably other versions of source
fiche. Of course, I do have a reader (more than one), but looking at
things on a modern machine without having to go to where the gear is,
make room to set the reader up, etc., means that most of the time, the
fiche just sit - no casual browsing and no easy way to share or
preserve the contents.
I know the group has hashed and rehashed fiche scanning and I don't
mean to re-open that debate. Obviously fiche scanners exist,
reinventing the wheel isn't cost effective, etc, etc. It's
unfortunate that there's so much manual fiddling to get a good scan,
but those letters are awful tiny.
If I were on the left coast, I might consider volunteering to drive
the scanner just to be able to share the results. I have a pile of
fiche myself, mostly from the late 1970s through the mid-1980s, IBM
and DEC docs primarily, and it would be great to know that it's not
only accessible as slivers of film.
