Money is an issue at the moment, considering it migh take the better part of a c note to have it delivered.

AT&T 6300 mono monitor

I have never succeeded to start up with a Hercules card (or clone) installed. In any case the memory overlaps that of the Indigeneous card, what would cause display problems if start up would be succeeded. As memory serves me well there is a Hercules clone that can emulate an MDA card, but I never had one.

I think it does, but my M24's have the 1.43 ROM version, so I cannot check it. Mmm, I don't know an EDA card, sorry. Greetings, H.

System/36 manuals

Sorry, My bad. I've actually scanned one or two of these for Al in the dim and distant past.

Kaypro help

by brain＠jbrain.com

It appears I am clueless about Kaypro machines * The machines: 4, 4+88, 10, and 1 * Can't get anyone of them to boot. All but the 4+88 boot to a screen, but nothing else. I have a K1 CP/M disk someone from the list sent in 2009, and I tried that in all of them, to no avail. The disk on the 1, at least, seems to work, as it knows when I put in a non OS disk, and tells me, but nothing else. If it had a read error, would it not tell me? It does move the head and such when I insert the OS disk, so it appears to be reading it. Still, it never drops to a prompt. * Looking for parts. The 4 needs ESC and 7, the 10 needs 'right arrow', both the 10 and 4+88 need the little telephone jack in the KB. 10 needs a new fan, it's getting power, but no spinning. 4+88 needs fuse holder, and 4 needs reset switch. Missing a small screw on the KB catch as well. Before I start trolling eBay for a donor Kaypro, I thought I would ask around here. * The 4+88 needs major help. drives don't respond, screen does not come up, nothing looks alive. I'd ship it to someone who wanted to take a look at it, as it'll take me a year to start going through it. Or, maybe I should put the 4-84's guts into it (keeping the 8088 and extra RAM) and use the rest of the 4-84' for parts? All except the 4+88 are in good cosmetic shape. The outer top shell of the 88 is in rough shape, though the KB is in great shape save the RJ14 jack (or whatever they are called) My regret is that I should have tested the system disk I previously received as soon as I got it in the mail, but we moved shortly after receiving it, and have not had the items out of storage since 2009. So, the disk could have been mishandled by me or the movers in the interim.Jim -- Jim Brain brain at jbrain.com www.jbrain.com

*very rare* NEC APC III on eBay, Wisconsin Rapids, WI

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

no keyboard unfortunately, but I have one, and could help the buyer get it up and running. Extremely rare pseudo compatible. I've never seen one o/w on ebay. Shipping is high, but maybe you can talk about that.

PALCE and PEEL programming algorithms

by d235j.1＠gmail.com

Hi all, After a ton of digging, I found information about PALCE programming in what looks like a senior project to build a PLD programmer. Unfortunately it's completely in Indonesian, but fortunately it's easy enough to figure out what they're doing and Google Translate. In case anyone is interested, here you go: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/g1r5bgg6ae1nank/PLD%20programming.zip The original source was here: http://dewey.petra.ac.id/jiunkpe_dg_16353.html Annoyingly the redirect you to a viewer that supplies compressed jpegs unless they detect googlebot (I think they do this by IP). Fortunately google caches the PDFs. On a similar note, does anyone have the PEEL programming algorithms? ICT used to have them available here: http://web.archive.org/web/20020827040802/http://ictpld.com/programverify/i… However ICT is long gone. I am missing most of those files. The ones I have can be downloaded here: https:/dl.dropbox.com/s/h93l0cyta4l67ky/PEEL%20programming%20specs%20partial.zip?dl=1 Thanks! --David
