For one thing, this IS on topic, just as classic computer books.
I only saw it now because I was born a year before its release, and
left the USSR, where it was not available, in 1991.

And here I was trying to be on topic, considering only movies
with computers more than 10 years old. Which reminds me, what
was the computer in "Dr. Strangelove", the scene where Peter
Sellers is the British officer in the computer room at the
Alaska airbase? Was it an IBM 1401? (now this is real computer
trivia)

OK. What exactly does a language card do? (Sorry, I'm new at this)..

I just saw Wargames; what an excellent movie! I encourage everyone who
hasn't seen it already to see it.
I ask this question when seeing any technology-based movie;
how much of the technology is actually possible? Who was Professor
Falken in the movie based upon? Can a JOSHUA be built?
Lastly, was there any meaning to the launch code CPE1704?

The part is a Hitachi 64180, an improved Z80. Zilog also makes
a similar part, the Z180. I recall the article, It was from
Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar series. I think his company sold the
kits, MicroMint (?).
The 64180 was a nice improvement, made it much easier to add
DRAM to a Z80. The drawbacks were the odd pin spacing on the
DIP (70 mil centers instead of 100) and a less than perfect fit
to the newer Zilog peripherals like the SCC or CIO. I believe
the Zilog version fixed up the signal problems with cascading
interrupts and also added one more address line (to a full 1MB).
Aside from the faster clock rates and built-in peripherals, the
nicest feature of the '180s was the memory management. The CPU
had an integrated memory management unit to extend the 64K
address of a regular Z80 out to either 512K or 1M, using three
bank-switched regions.
I still have a homemade CP/M system using the 64180, 256K DRAM,
16KB EPROM, two CIOs, one SCC, a National 58167 clock calendar,
and a WD MFM hard/floppy controller card. It runs CP/M V3 and
used the MMU to access all of the 256K RAM. I built it before
Ciarcia came out with his board, chances are I would have used
his for the project instead of doing a custom card.
I keep it running for sentimental value, it was the first card I
ever designed (and got working) with dynamic RAMs.

They were called "Language Cards" because you could switch between Applesoft
and Integer Basic. It never had anything to do with any other programming
language. If you want to program in C, try Hyper C from ground at

My Atari 1050 disk drive crashed. When I try to boot a disk from it I
get beep boot error beep beep boot error etc. I think I remember
somthing about the beeps being a message when a boot error happens if so
could somone tell me what it means and how to fix it since I don't see
anything physicaly worng with the drive on the inside.
