Thanks Allison & Tony for the info on the 8048. Allison, I got one of
those infamous after the sale posts from the seller that he thought he might
have the docs and if so would send them along. I'll certainly keep you in
mind if this should transpire.
Thanks again.

p.s. Anyone have the opcode listing for a 8048?

Wow! WHat a blast from the past!
I drooled over their catalog when I was a teenager . . .
I haven't been able to locate them, either . . .

Does anyone have the 1/83 issue of Byte Magazine? In it is part 3 of an
article by Steve Ciarcia about the MPX-16 PC-compatible SBC. I have parts 1
and 2, so I need the third.
Thanks!

Hi All,
Fair Radio sales has (in their last cat.) 3 parallel keyboards for US$10,
"Cheap" because "the IBM PC standard killed the market for them".

Hi gang,
I will buy an RD54 to replace that ornery RD53 on my MVII (recall we
discussed the problem of the RD53 drive heads sticking a while back?)
I just want to make sure that the RQDX3 EPROM versions on the controller
will handle an RD54 drive.
The version numbers are labeled as so: 285-E5 & 286-E5. I'm buying a
spare RQDX3 controller board with these version numbers. The RQDX3 in the
MVII have an older version # which I cannot recall at the moment.
Already searched Sunsite and Tim's Micronotes. Nothing about the 285-E5 &
286-E5 numbers shows up. Back in October there was a ClassicCmp thread
regarding handling of RX33 floppies. No comment about RD54's addressed.
Thanks for the help.
Regards, Chris

I spoke with Chuck Fry, an old friend who once worked for Symbolics,
and he gave some additional information regarding the Lisp engines
produced at Symbolics.
The Macintosh SBC was called the MacIvory. He gave some specifics
about which of these devices which a computer collector might want,
and this information will come in a later posting. Still, he said that the
company is still in business, having been bought out by some individual
but, that it is apparently nothing more than a maintenance operation.
Still, when I get the telephone number of this person (he has an AOL
account, as I understand), I will call him and see if he is aware of the
availability of some MacIvory's and what one might cost.
Chuck noted that the MacIvory worked only for nubus Mac's and that it
had a tendency to crash MacOS. He said that the TI product was more
resilient in hardware than MacIvory but, the condition was just the
reverse for software executed on the respective machines. That is,
the TI did not crash so often but, the applications were not so well
developed or capable.

FWIW I got this from a friend at IBM.
