Ok, it's yours. Email me your snail mail address please (sieler at allegro.com

And, I'll scan it first, per some offline requests (I knew I should have
already done that :)

The LA Times called it the first computer store in a story in December
1975. The first ad for the store ran in July of that year. I've put
scans of the article and the ad here:

I just made some small changes to the DECnet/E event logger application to fix a Y2K problem. (More precisely, a Y2K.003 problem).

This is for RSTS V10.1. Just drop the new evtlog.tsk into [0,16].

I'm trying to reduce the amount of "stuff" I have and I've been carrying around a significant number
of old data books. My plan has always been to have all of the resources I need in my retirement
(assuming I get there) to work on and repair the various vintage computing hardware I've also
collected over time and have been storing.
My question is if I this information is all now available online or if I need to keep these data
books. My guess is that it is some of both.
Also, if I decide to part with these, should I create a list and make them available for the cost of
shipping or just recycle them? Maybe someone collects them?

Hi guys,
I have three Dolch Logic Analyzers, the two bigger ones are Palas
<someting> Analyzers, one of them with an highspeed option, the third is
an Compact 100 Analyzer. For the bigger ones I have Disassemblers for
8080/8085 and Z80 as far as I know. I want to use the C100 with a Z80
disassembler, but the ROM images are different it seems, the roms don't
work in the C100.
Has anyone the rom images for the C100 Z80 disassembler?
Kind Regards,
Holm

45 yrs. ago last month, mid-July, Dick Heiser started a new industry, the
retail computer store. It opened in West L.A. under the name Arrow Head
COmputer Company. aka, The Computer Store. This began the direct marketing
of microcomputers to hobbyists, later to the masses of the middle class,
albeit a small market 45 yrs. ago.
Happy computing.
Murray ?
I have 2 2010 macbook pro's. Each have 8GB of Ram and both have a 2 TB hybrid seagate hard drives. Running Windows via Parallels. 15 inch system have reasonable perfomance. 17 inch system just crawls running windows. With RAM maxed out what else should I be looking for?
