One rocker switch on the front panel is missing; the switch elements
themselves are good, just the plastic part is gone. Otherwise in good shape, no
evidence of rough handling, etc. Happy to send pix, and/or correspond privately
for more info.
Unit is as-is, I have not tried to power it up, I no longer have the
infastructure to do so.
Best offer within a reasonable time - I can ship (for costs, US only, no
int'l shipments period.) Can deliver to NoCal / Silicon Valley / SFO area for
costs. If deal is made, can bring to Lincoln Ham Swap this Saturday.

I have here a Sparcbook laptop by Tadpole which will go free for the
cost of (not insubstantial) shipping to a good home. It works when it
wants to. The AC adaptor is good, however the power connector on the
mainboard may be loose. Sometimes it boots; often it does not. When
it does boot, it boots up a login and I was able to log on as root
with a blank password. Included with the Sparcbook are:
- AC Adaptor
- CD of Solaris 1.01 for Sparcbook (Version A.)
- (2) floppy set of SoftPC Ver 3.05 for Sparcbook Solaris
- Sparcbook 1 User Guide
- Sparcbook 1 SoftPC Installation Guide
- Solaris 1.0.1 Sparcbook version Release Notes
I also have second copy of the Sparcbook User Guide which I will send
to anyone interested in that piece only.
Shipping will be from 60074 zip. Local pickup is welcome. If I do
not have the proper shipping materials here, then I'll have to go to
the UPS store and have them box it up, so extra charges may apply
there.
Thanks

I went and looked at the pictures, but I could not get a sense of the
size difference between boards. Is there an appreciable size difference?
Jim
Hi Jim! Thanks! Yes, there is a size difference. The N8VEM PCBs are
Eurocard 160x100 mm standard. The mini-N8VEM is slightly larger about a
centimeter or so larger on length and width. It won't fit in a Eurocard
rack but is still small enough to work fine as a stand alone SBC. It will
also plug into the N8VEM ECB backplane.
There is a lot of information available on the wiki and you may want to
consider asking questions on the mailing list. All the files for mini-N8VEM
SBC are available in the Eagle format including schematics and PCB layout.
If you want anything else just ask and its probably available.
Thanks and have a nice day!

Dear Sir,
I have started putting together a web site www.S100Computers.com completely
focused on S-100 based computers. This is strictly a hobby.
I think there is a need for a good central place that describes the
different S-100 boards that anybody can quickly go to. I think it is
important to try and get all this stuff together while we remember it for
later generations. Be it other hobbyists or serious historians etc. In
particular I am trying to get all the old manuals.
Anyway, I am working my way through the different companies. I am currently
doing the company Mountain Hardware. I wondered if by chance you have or
could make a .pdf file for the manual for the Mountain Hardware 100,000
days clock board. I see some time ago you listed it under "my CP/M-80
pile'o'gunk". Alternatively if you are comfortable with it, I could scan
the manual myself and return it to you.
Sincerely
John

Does anyone have a dump or image of the basic character set ROM for a
VT100 or VT103? It's a 2316 ROM, part number 23-018E2, at position E4
on the board, IIRC.

Evan went up to Mike Ross to get a system/3 and a system/38 for the MARCH
museum yesterday. For now, we want to make the 38 more presentable
aesthetically, as there are some rust and paint splatters on it. I'm looking
for some kind of paint, preferably a spray, that can at least come close to
a match.
Thanks
Joe

Jim,
There is a complete set of mini-N8VEM v8 files in this directory on the
N8VEM wiki. James designed the mini-N8VEM using the N8VEM SBC as a guide
but to more reflect his personal design goals. The two systems are
compatible but the SBCs are quite different. I think James did a great job
and I use my mini-N8VEM SBC all the time. It has a lot of advantages over
the original N8VEM SBC especially as stand alone board.

There are a number of what I would consider associated N8VEM projects or
even "spin offs" mini-N8VEM being one of them. There is another SBC project
in the UK using the N8VEM SBC design, etc. Also builders designed the DSKY
as debug/monitor front panel type device. Again, a great project and I use
it all the time. Another builder made the PockeTerm which I also use daily
alongside the N8VEM project and so on. Making a frame work for home brew
computing project is the whole point of the N8VEM project so I am 100%
supporting these associated projects.
Much of the development recently on the N8VEM project has been for adding
full floppy drive capability in CP/M. We've been testing an improved CBIOS
that supports the floppy drive. It is fully functional now and there is an
optimized one in testing. With deblocking support and head seek
optimizations it is *much* faster and works really well. The new version is
on the wiki in the DiskIO folder for testing. The performance increase with
the floppy drives, IDE and ATAPI devices is really quite remarkable.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Andrew Lynch
