I got the weird idea that the odd keyboard cable hood for the Commodore
sx64 could be made out of wood fairly simply. Is there anyone here who is
good at woodworking who'd be interested in doing some tinkering with me?

I have a degree in electronic engineering. However it didn't help very much
repairing old computer equipment. I had to figure out how to do that for
myself from resources such as this list.

None of them started out as RDxx disks. Many were from a skip (dumpster) outside
a closed PC repair shop. Others were pulls from old PCs that were being dumped
at work. Some never worked but others worked well enough for me to format them
using a VAX 2000 and gave reasonable service for a while before giving up with
various problems.

I seem to recall bitsavers.org keeping old Tandy manuals, but I must have
been mistaken or something changed. Who collects these? I just now
noticed that the scans I made of the TRS-80 PT-210 user and service
manuals are nowhere to be found through Google.

I've received reports that Lattice GAL16V8D's don't program correctly
when fed National GAL16V8 JEDEC fusemaps. Has anyone else run into
this? I mean to dig into this, but if anyone knows off the top of
the head, it'd save some work.
EQN2JED was used as the assembler in both cases. I'm going to try
CUPL and see if the results are the same.

I recently acquired an HP Envizex II Netstation X-Terminal which I
would like to try out. I have a base HP-UX 10.20 OS running on an HP
B160L and I have an original set of HP-UX 10.20 install media CDs, but
apparently a Codeword is necessary to install the B4474FA HP
Netstation Software from the CD. I don't have any Codewords for this
set of install media CDs.
Is there any way to obtain a Codeword to install the Netstation
Software from the HP-UX 10.20 install media that I have?

Having finally got back onto this project a few months ago, I have
prepared another release of the code from my IBM 360/30 emulation
project for the Digilent Xilinx Spartan 3 board.
The main differences from the previous release are:
* 64k storage in external static RAM
* 1050 Console typewriter/keyboard implemented using the serial port
* Main storage initialisation from a file stored in the flash rom
(This can be generated from a Hercules PCH file)
* Lots of little bug fixes
The main limitation is that the 1050 is the only peripheral available.
There is a known bug: The first character output by the 1050 on each SIO
is duplicated. There are probably lots more hiding.
Everything is available at http://www.ljw.me.uk/ibm360/vhdl/
Future tasks:
Implement printers/readers/punches via multiplexor channel
Implement tapes/DASD via selector channel and flash disk
