It's a loose-leaf binder, labeled on the spine "IBM 7137 Disk Array Subsystem Customer and Service Information"... Anybody want to take this off my hands? Postage and a little extra would be much appreciated. :-) I have no use for it, so if I don't find someone who does it pretty soon gets the binder recycled and the paper gone. -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest, most unrelenting -- and ablest -- form of life in this section of space, a critter that can be killed but can't be tamed. --Robert A.

TIL311 or INL0397-1

by cghillen＠sbcglobal.net

I am in need of Texas Instruments TIL311 or INNOCOR INL0397-1. I have used both over the last 30 years and can no longer find them. If you know of a source I would appreciate the information. Newark Electronics has been my source over the years. They cannot find a substitute. Also INNOCOR was bought by JDSU in 2007 (the year I placed my last order with Newark). The Display Manufacturing was discontinued prior to the purchase by JDSU. Thanks, Cal

Anyone with 8" drives , UK ?

by robert＠irrelevant.com

Hi All. I've been quiet for far too long on this list. Had set myself to no-mail because of lack of time.... back now. Recently, I've been setting up www.viewdata.org.uk to try and remember and resurrect as much of the old BT Prestel and other period viewdata systems as I can. (For those who don't know, viewdata was a 1970s British Post Office (Later British Telecom) invention that allowed subscribers to access news, information, email, downloadable software, chatlines, etc etc. All in a 40x25 display with colour and block graphics. It was big in the 1980s, and gone by 1994... Minitel in france was a derivation, and apart from some specialist closed-access applications, about the only example that survives.) anyway... I've found somebody that has an archive of their pages from Prestel, and we'd both liketo get them up on the site. The snag, for me, is that a lot of it is on 8" discs, from a Technologics(?) system. The photographs of the discs I have seen show them labelled as 48tpi, soft sectored. The positive point is that he still has the original computer, but "it's not been switched on for 20 years" so I'm hesitant on telling him to try it...! So. Is there anybody in the UK (Birmingham or Manchester areas) that has facilities to read 8" discs and drop the contents (straight sector by sector image would be fine if it's not in a common format) onto some more modern media? Or someone who knows about old Technologics machines (I'd not heard of it before.) and can check this one out.. Failing all that.. anybody got a spare drive that I might be able to link up to a machine I do have? (PCs and Acorn machines). Thanks in advance! Rob.

If you don't mind spending a bit, http://www.cloud9tech.com/ might be a useful alternative to eBay. Refurbished CoCo3's are among the other goodies on the site. For the "power user", you can get 512k memory expansions, a serial link to your PC to use as disk storage ("Drivewire"), NitOS-9 in ROM, 6309 CPU upgrade, IDE or SCSI adaptors, etc. etc. No connection other than as a satisfied customer.

6809 SBC

by wbblair3＠yahoo.com

Having learned assembly language programming on the beautifully simple architecture and instruction set of the 6800, the Byte magazine article linked to below that I read when it was originally published really impressed me. In the 6809 they made one of the earliest efforts I know of to really tweak an already great uP instruction set based upon an analysis of existing software: http://tlindner.macmess.org/?page_id=119

Looking for: Dauphin DTR-1 Floppy

by derschjo＠mail.msu.edu

A number of DTR-1s have been showing up on eBay recently (cheap) so I decided to snag one. (I really wanted one when they were new but my salary as a 15 year old prevented such a thing from happening...) As an additional aside, it's one of few devices that used the HP Kittyhawk drive (a 1.3" 40mb drive). Quite a marvel of engineering in 1993... Anyway, the specimen I obtained works fine (need to rebuild the battery) but lacks the external floppy drive. So my only real option for getting software on the machine is over the serial port, which is a a bit annoying (and also precludes installing a new OS on it..) Anyone have any spares? Thanks, Josh
