TMS320C20 C-compiler?

by holm＠freibergnet.de

Hi, a friend from our german Robotron comuter Forum gave me an U320C20 Chip that was made in the former GDR bei ZMD Dresden. It is a copy of the TMS320C20. I got that Chip to do something with it, not to display it somewhere. Maybe I can build a wirewrap board with it, but I want to program the firmware in C. Now I'm searching for an C Compiler that supports it, gcc does'nt unfortunately, there is some support for the TMS320C3x and 320C4x Processors which are floating point variants, the C20 is a Integer processor w/o fp. I know that there must be at least a TI C Cross-Compiler has existed for Dos, Solaris and other OS. Has someone a usable copy from such a thing? Kind Regards, Holm PS: this is for notalgia purposes only... -- Technik Service u.

bad disks

you've done what you could. The data seems irretrievable. Theoretically is it possibly to retrieve bits via optical means? Is it practical?

Origins of term "laptop" computer, and absurdity of "first"

by evan＠snarc.net

>> each person has their own qualifiers. You reject "laptop" as a definition if it requires a cord. Mine is right. :) >> SOME people reject anything that they hadn't heard of. Sounds like this list... In 2005 Toshiba announced the 20th anniversary of when they invented the laptop. When pressed, they claimed theirs was the "first" with a 286 (who knows), and that clearly a laptop is only a laptop if it's got a 286 or newer.

Microsoft cordless phone

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

I used to have 1/2 of one. Not the handset but the cradle and box. I tossed it. What would the whole thing have been worth? Nothing on eBay right now.

Microsoft cordless phone

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

lol Fred actually bought one to use (I guess well have to allow for it being a gift. Suuuuuure). THEN he calls the Microsloth help desk. And let the record reflect my invention of that term. And yes I am quite sure... ------------------------------ On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 6:30 PM PDT Fred Cisin wrote: >On Fri, 14 Sep 2012, Curt @ Atari Museum wrote: >> Never even heard of it before... so they killed I with that one model? >yes >> No 2.4ghz or higher models later on? >no > >it was one of the early ordinary cordless phones with the base cradle >connected to a computer.

anyone (still) going to the MIT Flea Market?

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

you dont find oodles of vintage stuff anywhere. You may chance upon something at the Flea. Its been five years for me, 10-12 prior that. It never blew my socks off. There were a few guys with machinery last time, which always lights my fire. ------------------------------ On Fri, Sep 14, 2012 5:07 PM PDT Sam O'nella wrote: >Nah, I down South in an area that you would THINK would have lots of neat >tech findings but it's mostly new tech here and a lack of vintage.
