Most commonly, I find places that try to sell me parts that haven't been
made for 30 or 40 years, but the page is simply a numeric list of every part
in some huge number range.
How can it be a viable business model to buy google advertising to sell
parts that you do not actually have? My guess: counterfeits, esp
relabeled counterfeits. Or maybe the advertising cost is so completely
negligible that they can afford to put up ads for things they don't have?
I remember "too cheap to meter" but that's ridiculous.

I was not aware that there were Different Publications of his Work.
These are indeed compendiums from BYTE. I guess I should have called
them Books.
But the are in Pristine Condition Looks like they have never been opened

I have put online some pictures and schematics of a rather pathetic homebuilt TTL machine I constructed around 1985
Specs 12 bit wide, 8K ram, 256 word hardware stack.
CPU 3 x 74181
Hardcoded instruction set.
No blinkenlights, but, almost as good, 4 nixies as display.
Since I just cannot be bothered to make a proper homepage, I have just put everyting on my FTP server.
Find the goodies here :

Despite the horrors of programming PICs; they do have at least one
redeeming feature here - they're genuine classic architectures, being
designed in the mid-70s for General Instruments ;-)

Hi! I am getting ready to make another manufactured PCB order for some S-100
PCBs. These are the S100Computers.com and/or N8VEM boards.
These are the S-100 regular prototyping board, S-100 backplane, S-100
buffered prototyping board, S-100 IDE, and S-100 ASCII keyboard.
If you are interested in getting in on the S-100 board order please contact
me. Thanks and have a nice day!

*Many thanks,
I found a leaking capacitor just as you have described. I've ordered
new ones and will soon be able to replace it.
I'll let you know if that fixes the problem (It should!).**

old DEC neons tend to flicker randomly (and it's truely random).
The basic design is for the mains :
Mains in--->filter --->Breaker-+--->Unswitched outs
|
+--->Contactor (big relay)-> Switched outs
The contactor is controlled (in the 861) by a reed relay on the little
PCB inside. This has a differentially-wound coil to give the 'ground for
on' and 'ground for off' functionality on the 3 pin connector. The reed
relay coil is powered by a little transformer/rectifier/capacitor
circuit, mostly on the PCB.
My first suspicioun is that capacitor. Open it up and look for any
electrolytics on the PCB inside.

go here then...
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/51242a.pdf that will at least give you debugging information that Microchip released.

I have a S-100 N* Horizon that I have been trying to get to run for years.
Is there anyone out there running one or have one or Interested in one.
I also have a bunch of S-100 Vector Graphic Cards, CPU, Memory, I/O
Cards but no FDC's
I am looking for any S-100 Serial I/O cards that I might be able to just
in a Test Computer setup so I can test some of the Cards I have.
Also Floppy disk controllers for the S-100 Buss.
TIA
Bob in Wisconsin
