Teledisk Buy Update: Two shares left

by kyrrin＠bluefeathertech.com

As of 06:48, Monday, March 1 '99, we have TWO (2) shares left in the Teledisk group buy. I ask that those who may get the urge to get a couple of shares simply to push things forward please hold off until, say, Wednesday afternoon. We may get another couple of folks into the ring. Thanks to all who have participated so far. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio:(WD6EOS) E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com SysOp: The Dragon's Cave (Fido 1:343/272, 253-639-9905) "Our science can only describe an object, event, or living thing in our own human terms.

Looking for RT-11 Documentation

by CLASSICCMP＠trailing-edge.com

I'm >>fumbling around without it. >There is no on-line documentation... if there is, I'm sure Mentec >would be a little bothered by it. Actually, an "on-line" version of the RT-11 mini ref nearly made it into the 5.7 release. Space considerations on the floppy distributions is what axed the idea in the end. And all the manuals are "on-line" here, just not publicly accessible :-(. > There might be HELP available on > the system, depending on the version and whether all the required > files are still there... If it's not there, then an web-accessible version of the same information (albeit for RT-11 5.7, the Y2K compliant version) is available from http://www.trailing-edge.com/~shoppa/rthelp/ or http://metalab.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/rthelp/ The second reference will be faster to view, though slower to type in :-) The above references have been available for well over a year and a half now. > Megan Gentry > Former RT-11 Developer Gees, should I start signing myself "Tim Shoppa, Current RT-11 Developer, Former Nuclear Astrophysicist?" ? :-) -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927

Sharp PC-700 + other bits available.

Reply to him directly if you are interested. -- Kevan Collector of old computers: http://www.heydon.org/kevan/collection/ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Neil R. Temple <SMASafety(a)compuserve.com> To: "collector(a)heydon.org" <collector(a)heydon.org> Subject: Vintage Electronics I am in the process of cleaning out my home office and realized that I have 1st generation office electronics that may be of interest to a collector. I have a Sharp PC-7000 portable computer ( 2 - 5.25 " drives, no hard drive!, LCD screen, detachable keyboard with case, original manuals and disks) a portable fax machine (300 baud rotating drum Polaris Datafax 300 with carrying case, manuals and paper) and a personal copier (3M 051 copier - 2 step thermal transfer process with paper) all very early 80s. Are you interested or do you know another collector who may be?? I just can't bring myself to junk these old friends. I'm not looking for money for these items, only the cost of shipping. I'm located in Northern Virginia, just south of Washington, DC. I may be able to provide photos and/or additonal information. I really want to move them out of my office, but can't bring myself to just throw them out.

OT: 30-pin SIMMS

by JRichardson＠softwright.co.uk

>> Are there any adapter cards so 4 1mb simms can be used as a 4mb >> 30 pin? I have seen those that can be used as a 72 pin. Well, I came across a 72-pin adapter that took 30 pin SIMMS (I'm not sure if you meant that or were talking about 72 pin adapters that took 72 pin SIMMS). I've never seen a 30 - to - 30 adapter around, although I'd expect it to be possible to build one. I think SIMM-savers were only around briefly during the couple of years when 30 pin SIMMS were going out of fashion and 72 pin ones were coming in. I remember working on some PCs (Unisys?) a few years ago which had all their main memory on a full-length daughterboard card - there were something like 16 30-pin SIMM sockets on there, although I think the systems only recognised 256Kb SIMMS, not 1Mb's... cheers, Jules > >

TRS-80 Model 16 available.

by COAKLEY＠AC.GRIN.EDU

I have a TRS-80 Model 16 I'd like to get rid of. Comes with: * Base unit with two 8" floppy drives * keyboard * printer * Twelve Meg Disk System * Nice stack of manuals I picked this up last summer, but haven't had the time to clean it up and make it work. It powers up fine, but won't boot from the hard drive or >from floppy. There's some minor screen burn-in. I *really* don't want to ship this monster. I live in central Iowa, and pickup is welcome. I'm also driving across the country at the end of the month, so if you live between Iowa and Connecticut, we might be able to work something out. I'm not looking for much in exchange - some nominal amount of cash or something small and interesting. -- Ben Coakley http://www.math.grin.edu/~coakley/ coakley(a)ac.grin.edu CBEL: Xavier OH CMEL: Xavier

by jpl15＠netcom.com

Since I have no maint docs, does anyone know what the error message "System Status 02" mean during a Kaypro 10 boot? The ROM signs on, CP/m signs on and then it hangs with that message. ROM 1.9e CP/m V 2.2F 10M ready light is on, Floppy light is on, floppy does not access, keyboard clicks but no effect. multiple resets return to the same state. Cheerz and Thanks John

Maxtor XT-4380E ESDI Hard Drive settings

by healyzh＠aracnet.com

OK, I'm stumped. I'm finally getting around to adding one of the 380Mb ESDI HD's that I got to replace the 150Mb ones I've been using in my PDP-11/73. So I check out "The Tech Page" and while they've got the drive, they don't give any of the jumper settings. Does anyone happen to have the settings for this drive? Zane | Zane H.
