I still use a computer with Windows 98 SE and a native serial port for terminal emulation. The program that I use is not free but it does more varieties of terminal emulation, and does them better than any other emulator that I have used - ProComm Plus. I have owned it for about twenty years.

As Rik said, TeraTerm is very useful and also offers Tektronix emulation,
ASCII up- and download and much more.
If you search for k95.exe you fill find some ftp and web sites which also
have executables of Kermit 95.
You can also run MSDOS-Kermit in a Virtual Machine if you like.
Finally, I think you can also use the HyperTerm program from Windows XP on
later Windows versions.

I just rack-mounted my RX02 and I have no need for the "table-top"
enclosure it came in any longer (as nice as it is). It's in good shape,
but it's missing one rubber foot.
Free to a good home. I'm near Seattle, WA.

Anyone happen to have a spare set of outer rackmount rails for an RK05?
I have the inner rails that attach to the drive, and I'm trying to track
down the outer parts that attach to the rack, with the inner slide.
Getting very close to having a semi-respectable PDP-8/m system put
together, just need to get the hardware mounted. (And track down the
impossible RK05 cabling. And debug the controller. And probably a
dozen other things...)
Thanks,
Josh

You might try asking Michel Bel at michel at belconsult.net. He repairs HPLX palmtops and is in Belgium.
Also try posting a request to the HPLX mailing list at hplx at mail.eberl.com.

and after ben gets his we would buy one for SMECC also... see
_www.smecc.org_ (http://www.smecc.org)
I have an omni whatever that looks like the computer part of this but
never saw it with a phone on top!
here is a video I found of this thing on the net...

weird... I must have been asleep when this came out... If I had seen
it I would have lusted after it!

Hi,
I'm using extensivly C-Kermit on my FreeBSD host to connect to
various serial-line-only Systems. They also have a kermit executable
so I'm using kermit -s to send data from those systems to my FreeBSD
system and also getting files from my FreeBSD host to the other
systems is working fine.
I'm now looking for a way to get this "kermit file transfer"
functionality from Windows but had no luck so far.
Is there free-for-use Kermit alternative arround to be used for
Windows or an other Terminal Emulation which supportes Kermit
File Transfers "out of the box"?
Yes - I know Kermit 95, but this is not free.
Regards, Oliver
This site has a lot of interesting info on a number of fonts used in PCs
and compatibles. It looks like there was quite a bit of research
involved.

Hi there, long time viewer, first time poster. First an introduction:
My name is Joshua Stetson and I'm a software engineer by trade. My earliest
memories have always involved computers starting with a DOS based Zenith
8088 where I played some of my first games.
My first foray into "classic" computing was on a Commodore 64 which my
Uncle gave me while I was still in Jr. High. I'd already been introduced to
programming at an early age, so this machine was an absolute treat to me at
the time as it was my first step into assembly language. As time
progressed, my interests turned older and I began a collection of S-100
gear including an IMSAI 8080 and a SOL-20.
Over the past couple of years, I've managed to work back even further,
piecing together a PDP-8/e system from various parts collected over the
past 4 years and now I have a fully working 8/e including 32kw of core and
an RK05E card set. I've been running the system using Kyle Owen's
os8diskserver and David Gesswein's sendtape utilities which both work
absolutely wonderfully. It was amazing to be able to run Adventure on a
native system!
I'd like to send a shout out to Kyle for the os8diskserver, that is some
pretty awesome work there. David for his software and archive of DEC
documentation which was indispensable for helping me debug a few boards and
get everything running and tested. I also want to thank Vincent Slyngstad
for his help and support on some questions.
Now to my ask:
Recently I've found a pair of RK05J drives and a few disk packs. One of my
drives seems to be in fully working order, the other the blower is not
working, so I'm working on fixing that right now.
I'm currently missing cabling for connect these drives to the RK05E board
set. If anyone happens to have an extra cable set they'd be willing to part
with so I can bring these beasts back to life, I'd appreciate it!
Ideally I would like to find the following:
7009026 Cable which is two ribbon cables with a M933B or C flip chip on the
other end
The interface cable between the two drives: BC11A
The terminator card M930
At minimum, I'm pretty sure I'd only need the first cable to run one of the
drives, but I'd appreciate any help from those who have more experience.
Also, I don't have a rack for this equipment yet, so I'm running it all
tabletop, but I'm in the market for a rack + rails (I only have the rails
for the equipment, but not the ones that mount to the rack itself. Any
leads on more 16-sector packs would also be appreciated! Also, still hoping
to get the extended arithmetic boards, RTC, and possibly a TSC8 Timesharing
option as I have 4 SLUs and would love to try out some timesharing.
On a side note, I'm looking to perhaps sell or trade my SOL-20 sometime
soon. It's 100% working as I restored it about 3 years ago. It works great,
but I'm looking to part with all of my S-100 equipment to focus more on DEC.
Thanks!
