I just spotted a Compaq portable 3 in a 1980 "flashback" scene of
Psych. A useless observation, it had the expansion bay on the back.
"Psych" High Top Fade Out (2009) Season 4 episode 7
There appeared to be something like a Commodore 64 driving a display on
camera. the CP3 was not powered on.
Not sure if anyone here had anything to do with a loan or elsewhere, or
if the film company owned it.

Capturing the text with a terminal program and pasting it into the email

To all,
Happy New Year and good luck in 2011.
Being new to this site, I have some requests for help.
Question 1. Anyone with a working pdp-11 with rx02, I have some
diskettes I wish to recover data and programs from for use with Robert
Supnik's pdp-11 emulator, can you make a disk image suitable for above
to email me. I am happy to pay you to do this and return the floppies to
me.
Question 2. As above but 4x RL02 cartridges, but if you can get the
images, you can keep the disks.
If you have both rx02 and rl02 would save time and postage.
For those fussy about copyrights I have valid licenses and full
documentation for RT-11, TSX+ and S&H Cobol, but unfortunately no longer
have a machine to read them. (Hindsight is marvellous)
Thanks in anticipation,

I have a DEC VXT 2000 that I would like to try out, but I don't have the
software to host for it to load up the X environment across the network.
Anyone know where I might still obtain the bits? Looks like the last
version *may* have been v2.1g?
Thanks!
James
The recent discussion of VXT2000 reminded me of X/PEX terminals.
I'm looking for X Window System terminals, particularly early NCD
models before they switched to using PC keyboards. I have several NCD
19s, see right hand side of this photo:
<http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/cgm/sprawl4/dsc_0608.jpg>
However, I don't have any of the color X terminals from NCD for that
period.
Also, I have *no* PEX terminals and this would be a very welcome
addition to the collection of the computer graphics history museum.
I have a number of small box type X terminals from NCD, Tektronix and
IIRC even an HP branded one. They are from late in the X terminal
marketplace where they all had become fairly identical: small
rectangular boxes to which you attached a PS/2 keyboard and mouse and
a VGA monitor. I can post a list of the exact inventory in the
museum's collection if that will help avoid duplicates.

Hi,
Good news on the S-100 8086 CPU board.
First confirmed working installation "in the field" AFAIK.
If we've gotten this far, I think demonstrating a working CP/M-86 will be
along shortly.
John already has CP/M-86+ running in the lab.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Hi and Seasons Greatings.
All the best to everyone and their families.
I've just completed my S-100 8086 board.
See photos at:
http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder¶m=8086
Everything went smoothly except a missing K8 jumper 1-2 gave me some grief
for a while.
I have a V30 CPU and a 24MHz oscillator (8MHz clock) without any problems.
I'll try 10MHz next when I get a crystal.
Next step is to get CPM86 and MSDOS going.
Thanks for another great board John and Andrew.

Thats 1.28mb! Not many system used that and some like DEC RX02, Intel
MDS DD
were not MFM ( both were unique oddbal that most FDCs do not read).

What format are you trying to achieve?? Looks vaguely like Morrow DD.

Likely does not start with sector 0, that is unlikely due to the bit
pattern and how DD controllers work.
Besides 0 though 9 enumerates 10 objects, not 8.

Looks about right.
There is no skew applied as you show it.
If skew is wrong reading the directory is impossible and you get trash
if anything at all.
