Subject: CYCLOID faceplate for Altair computer...
I seem to remember this being discussed many years ago, but I can't find it.
Anyway, there's an Altair on epay right now with a CYCLOID faceplate.
If I remember correctly, this is just a replacement plastic insert that was
sold simply to "freshen up" an Altair where the original had worn badly,
as so many did. I've done a fair amount of searching but I can't find an
ad or other reference to the product. Does anyone recall the time period?
I would assume it was at least a couple of years after the introduction of
the Altair. 78 or 79? A pointer to an advertisement or one of those "new
product" paragraphs that many of the magazines did back then would be
most helpful.
Thanks,
Bill S.

All;
SMS made disk controller systems that used their own device driver,
seemed to be an enhanced DY (RX02) driver.? Does anyone have the
driver/formatting software?
The model I have is FWD 0106 and is described in bitsavers:

I decided to get a tvga8900 for mine, as fiddling with 15khz ttl is
just too flaky and problemmatic. Having a real cga/ega monitor would
be cool if I could justify the cost and the space, but a native fix is
an isa vga card so that's my solution. I'm refurbing a 5170 for use as
an imaging tool, ISA tester, etc.
Best,
Jeff

A wild guess that maybe some on the group may have these files.
I bought the books from abe books, a few dollar's each. They are (vintage 80-90's) but of course the code floppy disks are not there.
Did anybody keep these files?

The Craft of C

I hope you say no, because I will probably learn more by keying in the code in the text, and finding my errors.

I found this blog post quite interesting. I've left what I hope is an
informative, helpful comment. I wonder if anyone else here would have
more to add?
