Has anyone been successful in dumping the EPROM contents from an MC68701?
As I understand it, this MCU requires executing a particular program from
external memory to access the internal EPROM, both for programming and
reading.
I will write a utility to dump the contents if necessary, but I am happy to
refrain from reinventing the wheel if a solution already exists.
Thanks!

That has been my line any time I've needed to know if a machine had a
'flaky'. Sometimes, on the phone, ask a customer to give the machine a
kick. They always balk, but I tell them "Shock and vibration are
legitimate diagnostic tools", and that usually convinces them. In
situations I suspect the problem is a flaky, it often results in a
'working' system and the customer says "oh wow! you Fixed it!". To
which I say NO NO NO. It is not Fixed, only the problem is now
revealed. I'll be over shortly to actually bolt down what needs
bolting or otherwise make the machine immune to shock and
vibration.....
Best,

Hello, I need to do some work on my intel UPP-833 personality card in my UPP and am looking for documentation
This document:
9800133F_Universal_PROM_Programmer_Reference_Manual_1977
has schematics for personality cards available in ?77 but does not include the UPP-833
I am having trouble with my UPP-833 and could use some documentation. Documentation on the UPP-832 would probably be helpful if nothing on the 833
There may be a newer version of 102448-001 I do not know about. There are two Documents that should have the information are:
102448-001. Printed Wiring Assembly UPP-833 Personality (drawings and schematics), L1002488, 123832, 2000966
123832-001. Printed Wiring Assembly UPP-833 Personality (drawings and schematics), L1002488, 123832, 2000966
Can anyone help?
Regards
Craig

Hello Folks!
I've put together another batch of items as I continue to wade through my
warehouse and winnow out the wonders:
HP 2116C System Manual #1
HP 2116C System Manual #2
HP 2116C System Manual #3
HP 2116C Power Cord
Using the HP 3000: An Introduction to Interactive Programming
Tandy WP-2 Portable Word Processor

Gimix Ghost 32K RAM
Compaq SLT/286 portable
VTech The Equalizer Laptop

The main index for these and other fine items is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1I53wxarLHlNmlPVf_HJ5oMKuab4zrApI_hi…
I've put some work into the index and improved it so that links keep
properly updated as new items are added or sold items are removed (whereas
before the index links in the New Arrivals Niche would get hopelessly out
of sync). However, I believe there might have been some problems with the
links before so if you saw an item you liked and the link did not lead to
it and you assumed it was sold, please check again. From this point going
forward, all links (above the notice in the sheet) should stay in sync.
I've been preoccupied for the last few months with personal business and
haven't been able to put a lot of time into curating the collection for
sales but I am trying to catch up. There are a couple people that are
waiting on me and I haven't forgotten about you. I will get caught up
shortly and I thank you for your patience.
As always, please contact me directly by e-mail via
<sellam.ismail at gmail.com>
to make an order or an offer.
Thanks!

Does anyone have documentation stashed away for the Intel PC-BUBBLE Card? The PC-BUBBLE is an 8-bit ISA card that Intel produced for prototyping bubble memory applications in the mid-1980s, the ROM on mine is v3.0 and says it?s copyright 1986.
I don?t want to insert this into a system until I?m sure all the (many) jumpers are configured reasonably, and I?m sure that the empty 40-pin socket at U5 isn?t something that?s critical to its operation?

There are also consumer firewall/routers that have time-based limits.
When I've had clients ask about this, or also ask for content filtering,
it's such a difficult world these days. The kids don't have tablets
or phones or iPods that do WiFi and can get the Internets from
cellular connections or the neighbor's WiFi?
Kids rapidly figure out solutions to bypass limits. High schools
have WiFi, block social media, the kids install VPNs on their phones.

Before I develop this, I thought it may already exist, and the classiccmp mail list might be the place to ask.
What we have, is the screen time problem with the kids. If we are not there hounding and policing them, they will be on for hours.
All the medical community says, we need to limit their screen time, as it contributes to their AD disorder and schoolwork, homework failures.
My idea was initially do this in hardware, with a timer, and a solid state relay to gate the AC to the PC.
On further thought, I should be able to do this in software, with a timer that lets the PC run for an hour, and then shuts the PC down until the next 24 hour cycle.
(Installs itself on windows startup)
Has anybody seen this, before I re-invent the wheel?

That reminds me of an amusing story from the first time I went to see 'Star
Wars; I went with a group of people from Tech Sq. It has that scene where
they're about to make the jump to hyperspace in the 'Falcon', and it won't
go; so one of them (I think Solo) jumps up and whacks a particular spot on
the bulkhead with his fist, and away she goes.
We all found this terribly amusing, since one of the DEC time-sharing systems
on the 9th floor had a sticky relay in the power controller, and when you'd
try to power it on or off from the front panel, the relay would stick, and
nothing would happen. So the procedure was to go around the back, open a
particular door, reach in, and whack the power controller behind it in a
particular spot with the side of your fist, and away it went!
