Craigslist: RP05 drive cable in Indiana

by silent700＠gmail.com

No affiliation with the seller, just a strange item to come across randomly. Digital BC06S cable, which is mentioned in the manual for the RP05 and possibly others: https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/ele/d/multi-pin-digital-cable/6835150645… The ad shows updated two days ago so they likely still have it.

Epson PX8 disk emulator

by wrcooke＠wrcooke.net

Hello all, I have built an emulator that uses an Arduino and SD card to provide four "floppy drives" for an Epson PX8.? It may also be usable with a PX4, but I have no way of trying it. If you would like to build one yourself, or just read about it, the details are here:?http://wrcooke.net/projects/pfbdk/pfbdk.html Any feedback is appreciated (I already know the page is crummy.)? Especially if you build it I would like to know good or bad experience. Thanks, Will "He may look dumb but that's just a disguise."? -- Charlie Daniels "The names of global variables should start with? ? // "? --?https://isocpp.org

Opening old DEC files

by curt＠atarimuseum.com

I have many DEC files that I?ve recovered from old VMS backups to a PC. Many are Word-11, ALL-IN-1 WPS and VMS Mail MAI files. They don?t open well in programs like the Windows Text editors Is there a program on Windows that can open these files and recognize all of the formatting and control commands so they can be properly viewed?
