Bruce asked: > Anyone out there want to help try to assemble to binary and test on an Apple ][ or emulator? I've got a 6502 assembler in Basic in hand (almost literally!) and am writing a 6502 assembler in Perl (sheesh, times have changed!). I've also got the source from the web page in .asm file (see attached). All I need is a simple Apple ][ emulator. (It doesn't need much, I presume.) Pointers are welcome! (There's a readme file in the attached TAR file.) -- Randy PS: The assembler I'm using a base is Richard Mansfield's Machine Language For Beginners published by Compute! Books. It's left over from my childhood. ;-)

MicroVAX issues

by b4＠gewt.net

Hello all, I'm having trouble with a MicroVAX 3100 of unknown model. (It's a KA41-A one, that's for sure.) It seems to endlessly test itself with the LEDs being 1001 1011. I have removed all drives and the communications option thingy for testing. I have also removed the (likely totally dead) battery. Does this require 3.8V as well? Could I just rig up some AAs or similar in series or does it try to charge the batteries? Also: I need a CK-KA630-AA for my MicroVAX II...the one I have is corroded and attempts to clean it somehow resulted in it behaving...unpredictably. Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks! -- Cory Smelosky http://gewt.net Personal stuff http://gimme-sympathy.org Projects

IBM 5110 start-up halt

by buddy.holman＠gmail.com

I have managed to acquire an IBM 5110 Model 2. The machine immediately process checks on start-up and shows square blocks on the display. I've opened the machine up and re-seated all of the cards, but with no change in behavior. Anyone have some wisdom for me on the 5110? Thanks! Ellis

SCSI-to-CF bridges?

I ask, as I have no idea how to run the RSTS/E 10.1 installations off of anything other than tape. And while I could always build my RSTS/E 10.1 system disk on SIMH I'd much rather experience the installation experience as close as possible to what it was really like on an actual PDP-11.
