How to enable USB drives in both Windows 98SE AND MS-DOS 7.1.

How to enable USB drives in both Windows 98SE AND MS-DOS 7.1.

by terry＠webweavers.co.nz

The title might suggest to topic is not vintage, but the reason I did this myself was to facilitate classic computer disk imaging. I?ve recently given USB drive capability to the MS-DOS 7.1 environment in a Windows 98SE computer I use for the purpose above. It was a bit of work configuring the machine to ensure both the MS-DOS drivers and the Windows 98SE drivers co-existed peacefully. I'm no Windows 98 guru (or MS-DOS guru for that matter) so it may not be the most efficient or elegant of solutions. However, it worked for me. That being the case I thought I?d document what I did. Hopefully the article will be useful to others who might want to do this. http://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2018-02-05-USB-in-MS-DOS-and-Win98… Terry (Tez)

anyone recognize this blank board?

by aek＠bitsavers.org

https://www.ebay.com/itm/311965565048 The same seller has a VT180 and some variant of the VT100 with an expansion board I don't recognize Interesting thing about the blank board is it says "VT-11X" on it and it looks like it would have been an 8-bit CPU looking at the string of DRAMs on it.

Good Electronic/computer stores SF area

by dj.taylor4＠comcast.net

I haven't been in the San Francisco area in about 30 years. I remember a number of used computer/electronics stores back then, can't remember any names except Weird Stuff Warehouse. Are there any stores that are worth a visit? What about outside of the SF area? Doug

DECwriterIV/LA100s and large DEC monitors available, Cambs UK

by binarydinosaurs＠gmail.com

Hi folks, Clearing out some of the larger DEC pieces I have, does anyone want these before I offer them to the Centre For Computing History? They?d need to be collected from Cambridgeshire, or I can deliver them if the distance is reasonable. I kind of need the space quickly too. Usual caveat as working-when-last-powered-up :) 3x LA100-CA with keyboards VRT19 with video cable, last powered up in Dec 2014 VR319 mono VXT monitor VR261 mono workstation monitor VXT1200 VXT1000 Alpha 3000-400, maybe 2 if I can find the 2nd one. Cheers, ?

Intel 8085 - interview?

by spacewar＠gmail.com

At some point I read an article or a transcript of an interview with an Intel employee (or former employee) who had been involved with the design of the 8085, describing how he had specified additional instructions over those of the 8080, and they had been implemented in the silicon, but then the decision was made to not document any of the new instructions other than RIM and SIM. I no longer recall which Intel employee that was, and can't find the article or interview. Does anyone else remember that, and perhaps have a copy? Eric
