Ok, here's what I have on the DEC Grey color: Per Joe Moir (jcmparts on eBay) from an email dated 10/12/2005 : "We get ours from Raabe 800-966-7580. It is called low gloss gray. They make it for us special." Ashley

need a tandy 2000 compatible comm program

by jba＠sdf.lonestar.org

On my DEC Rainbow, I exclusively use BinkleyTerm as it can function as a terminal quite well using the appropriate FOSSIL driver. It supports Xmodem and Zmodem at the least, I believe. Anyway, if you need a T2K FOSSIL, try: http://www.sentry.org/%7Etrev/opus/173files.html#fossil I've made a copy of BinkleyTerm v2.40 (the last version that supports FOSSILs on non-standard hardware) available at: http://approximatrix.com/downloads/legacy-ms-dos-support-files/communicatio… I can't seem to find the related documentation archive right now, but I'm sure I have it at home. Hope this helps! Jeff Armstrong jba at sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org

Maybe it is the guy who is JCMParts on eBay. Seems like he's the one who told me that he refurbished Dec terminals, etc, to looks just like factory originals with the origianal paint colors. I'll have to dig through my thousands of PDP emails tonight and see who gave me that info. Also, I have sets of Dec H960 side panels that are two different colors. Some sets are more of a greyish color and others are more of a creamy color. Ashley

Stupid IMSAI question

by Watzman＠neo.rr.com

Rich, I'm not sure what "Imsai Specific" means in this context, but Imsai did sell their own 8k Basic that originally came on paper tape (I think that there may have been a 4K version also). Amazingly, it came with a full assembler output source code listing. The only thing about it that was "Imsai specific" was that it's load and save commands were customized for the cassette tape port on an IMSAI MIO card. I have the hard copy listing, and as a consequence of your question, I've just put it into the scanner and will have a PDF file later today. Now if someone wants to key it in, I'll send them the PDF file. The listing is 113 pages long. I do not have the paper tape object code. The version that I have is 1.4 from 5/12/1977. Tell me about the disk system that you can't get working, I have pretty extensive knowledge of some of the Imsai disk systems. Barry Watzman Watzman at neo.rr.com

What's the point of auction with reserved price?

I put up a limited gold edition of Scott Adams Adventures on ebay (Item number: 110057014303) that I *almost* put "RARE" in the title, but I refrained. But I couldn't help myself in the description. I *really* dislike seeing "rare" in a title because of all the jokers who haven't a clue what rare might mean. Most of them merely expose their limited universe for the rest of the world to see.

Need Docs for XT RAM Board...

Stupid IMSAI question

by rcini＠optonline.net

All: Ok, I admit, I probably should know this by now, but did an IMSAI-specific version of BASIC exist that can be loaded by paper tape? I have all of the Altair BASICs in tape format for my 8800b, but I have an IMSAI too and I've spent so much time fiddling with the floppy system (which still doesn't work) that I've never really played with it. The IMSAI I have as a Z80 CPU and 48k but I think I have an original 8080 card for it somewhere. Thanks.

vtserver question & mod

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

I went ahead and dragged the unix box out to hook up to the 11/34 so I could run vtserver and back up some rl disks I have. My /34 doesn't have ODT built in of course, so I had to keep entering the vtserver bootstrap manually. I got tired of this, since vtserver has an option to download the bootstrap if you have ODT. So I hacked up vtserver to now also support a -ce option along with -odt. If you specify -ce vtserver assumes you have the console emulator running that is provided on the M9312 board and downloads the bootstrap using the syntax expected by it instead of ODT. Timesaver for me. If anyone wants a copy of it, no problem. One slight bug - it requires you to hit enter to start the download and I'm not sure why, fixing that is a project for another day. Come to think of it, I should have vtserver send a carefully crafted command and look at the response from the host, thus distinguishing automatically whether it was ODT or the console emulator it was talking to. That way there would be one command option (-bootstrap perhaps) and it would do the right thing. However, I'd rather not change existing options. Anyways... when I run vtserver and select an input of rl(0,0,0) it says that it failed to get sts. However, it still asks for the output file, and copies the rl image to my pc hard drive. Any idea why the "failed to get sts" message happens? Thanks for any input! J

I seek a MOS 6545-1 (or Motorola's MC6845) is for a CBM 8296 motherboard. The chip is running hot and there is no screen output. The 6545 is the Cathode Ray Controller for the built-in monitor.
