Hi,
I realize that this is a really long shot, but would you still happen to have the Quadlink setup? A friend of mine has been looking for one forever! Thanks,
Mark E.
I have created a YouTube account and uploaded a short video showing the
simulator running a small program:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=walWU2MQ2OM
Sorry about the lack of video quality, but I'm sure you'll get the idea.
If you want to know more, you can get the FETOM Y24-3360-1 from
Bitsavers (or a mirror!) There is a front-panel layout on p6-2 of this
manual, which may help in deciphering the panel lamps.
The program being run is The "Indian" Problem on p73 of the Introduction
to System/360 Assembler Language manual SC20-1646-6, also on Bitsavers.
It is loaded at address 100.
I am in the process of readying the VHDL files for release - tidying up
and adding GPL headers at the moment. They should be available within
the next week or two.

I am now the proud owner of a Nimbus motherboard.
Anyone w/a technical manual? Does it use standard floppy drives? It seems to have onboard video ports, so I'm thankful for that at least.
I found some warez here:
http://www.theoldcomputer.com
I arrived at specific Nimbus files (about 5, including DOS 3.1 - will run on the N-186?) by googling (everything is categorized as a *rom*, it being the worlds biggest bloodiest rom site), so you might be better off using that back door.
So help me out guys. Need to get this bad boy operating.
a picture (or 2) might help Sharon :)
IIRC, the *8085* in the System 23/Datamaster wasn't identified as such. It had some sort of IBM house number. Haven't opened mine in a while, but that's what I remember.
Be specific about what you mean by p/s issues. And if that's the case, you're advised to test the voltages under load...but not the motherboard load/s.
Perhaps you have a repackaged Datamaster. Mine unfortunately is *unavailable* for perusal at this present time. I do believe there are other people on the list that have one, but they don't seem to participate these days. Mine is buried beneath about 12 other machines (was I supposed to put it on top? It weighs ~95 lbs yer know).
Can a C1541 or C1571 attached to a C64 read floppies from other
Commodore computers such as the VIC-20 or C16? Since the floppy
drive is basically a computer attached to the C64 by a serial cable,
I tend to think it can, but I don't believe I've ever seen anything
on this, and I know I've never tried. I've never had a floppy drive
attached to any of my VIC-20's, back when it was my only computer, I
only had a cassette drive.

Thanks for the interesting replies. If anyone is interested in an N8VEM
68K project please contact me. Basically this would be a simple 68K system
for a simple bus like ECB, S-100, or ECB. Nothing fancy or complex just 2
layer boards, all DIP construction, common parts, nothing programmable other
than an EPROM. I am thinking just CPU, RAM, ROM, and a dual latch to
communicate with the main board CPU but am open to other ideas.
I'll continue researching and hopefully something will turn up. If any of
our German/European colleagues have access to the PC Par 68000 article in
"mc" from 1989 and would be willing to scan I would greatly appreciate it as
it seems to be the most practical solution at the moment.
Thanks and have a nice day!

You probably need to know the SRM commands to turn on the Serial
port. You might take a look on Hoff's website. I ran my 434au via
the Serial port, same with the XP1000's. While I have VMS compatible
graphics cards, it is more convenient with how I use them.

Personally, I disposed of about 2 dozen such screens to ComputerAid
last month. I suspect that any made before 2002, they just recycled.

I have a bulky Unisys EVG-500-COL 17" monitor that is taking up space. It
has a 9-pin VGA connector and 5 BNC plugs on the back. It needs to warm up
to work properly. I am not sure whether to keep it or just take it to the
tip. What do people here think?

I recently acquired a 433au and I want to access it through the serial port.
I am not having much luck with this and wonder if there might be something
odd about the serial port. I would also like to find a manual for the
machine and my web searches have not turned up anything. Does anyone have a
PDF of the 433au's manual?
Thanks
Rob
