Brian, I have not loaded any drivers yet. I planned on doing that when I was more sure of the pointer issue. I figured that I would not be able to tell if the drivers are working if I do not have a pointer. I have a Win98 machine I can try loading the drivers on. However, still the pointer question. If I can not find a pointer or info on how to make one soon, Anyone want a Summasketch+? By the way, long story about the "Internet Doctor" thing... Bob

4M expanded memory cards

by dlormand＠aztecfreenet.org

>I could sure use some. Are they the nine-chip sort? Oops! I guess this wasn't clear enough. These are OLD cards, ISA expanded memory cards for 286es. Not SIMMs/SIPPs. I can't really imagine anyone wanting them, but I thought I'd ask before I toss.

VS 85/90

by jim＠smithy.com

I'm trying to find a Wang VS-85 or VS-90. Any condition. These are rather large systems, the VS-85 is about the size of a washing machine, and the VS-90 is a little bit wider than the VS 85. If anybody runs across one in their adventures, please contact me. I used to have a VS90, many years ago. Now that I have space, I'd like to find one, if there are any still out there. -- Jim Donoghue Smithy Co. (734) 913-6700

One site did > indicate that one of these might be for the HP 3000. These cards probably came from an HP 3000 4X/5X/6X/70. ATP is "Advanced Terminal Processor", an asynchronous terminal interface. I'm not sure what part of it you have. GIC is "General I/O Channel", an HP-IB interface. I'm thinking the "HP-IB TRANSLATOR" is a board that connects to the GIC and provides some other sort of interface, in particular a parallel differential line printer interface. It's been a while but I think we had a couple of these in a 64/68/70 when it had HP 2617 and 2619 printers attached. -Frank McConnell

I don't know if anyone is interested in these and I know nothing about them but I spotted two of them in a scrap place yesterday. If someone wants them come and get 'em. (They'll be cheap.) They haven't been there more than a couple of days and look like they're in decent condition. I'll guide you to them but I have NO way to move, store, or ship them. Joe

MicroVAX 3800 Power Cable

by univac2＠earthlink.net

I have a MicroVAX 3800 in really good shape that I would like to be able to use, but I have a problem. The power connector looks like a standard grounded power cable connector, but has been made in such a way that the power cable must have a notch on the top in order to plug in. Is there any reason for this? Does that mean that I need a special cable or can I just take a hacksaw to a regular power cable? -- Owen Robertson

Large Collection of DEC & other License PAKs: Any takers?

by kyrrin＠bluefeathertech.com

Hi, folks, Hey... I've got an item here that I really didn't want to put up for auction. I'd much rather pass it on to a fellow Classiccmp'er who can use it. It's a file folder, nearly a half-inch thick, crammed full of old DEC and Wollongong license PAKs for all kinds of products, including VMS 5.x, DECNet, and other assorted goodies. First person to E-mail me directly (kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com, or kc7gr at qsl dot net), with an offer of $15.00 (includes postage), can have the entire pile. I'll go by time/date stamps on any responses to determine who's message got here first.

Classic items up for auction

Hi, gang, Another shameless plug. I've posted another bunch of auctions on E-pay. The first one's a collection of Emulex and PDP-11 hardware reference handbooks.

"The Art of Electronics" - edition differences?

There is a certain major manufacturer of SCSI devices that I'm familiar with that only has two SCSI Bus Analyzers (and the FE that works on our equipment can never get one). So, I'd say that's a pretty good score! Zane

4M expanded memory cards

by melamy＠earthlink.net

actually history wise, there was a memory specification called LIM (Lotus/Intel/Microsoft) that used a 16K/32K/64K memory slot in the 1 meg real memory region where the 8088 could access it to bank switch blocks of memory in and out of the window area. Lotus 123 was a big user of the Expanded Memory because of the typical size of spreadsheets would quickly eat up normal memory and require disk access that would slow down the spreadsheet even more. Memory boards that were referred to as extended memory were the ones that could be accessed by 286 and above processors by having the processor go into protected mode. best regards, Steve Thatcher >--- Original Message --- >From: Ethan Dicks <erd_6502(a)yahoo.com> >To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org >Date: 3/20/03 11:15:43 AM > --- TeoZ <teoz(a)neo.rr.com> wrote: >> I remember paying close to $400 for 4 x 4mb 30 pin sims for my 386/40 >> homebuilt machine so it would scream using windows 3.0. >> Funny how memory prices have gone to hell over the last few years. > >As someone already pointed out - prices only drop drastically per meg for >new technologies.

Freeware CDs for RSX-11 and RT-11

by jhfinepw4z＠compsys.to

In regard to the Freeware CDs for RSX-11 and RT-11 that Tim Shoppa originally produced: I am in the middle of making up a second (very small) batch of CDs and could easily add a few additional copies. I will be making all copies of the CD images from: ftp://ftp.trailing-edge.com/pub/cd-images/ http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RT-11/ http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RSX-11/ Since not everyone has both a high speed internet connection and a CD burner, I thought it would be helpful to make them available. If you have both requirements and are using Windows 98 SE / Nero Burning, I can help with the details if you don't know how to burn a CD from an "Image File". I have even been able to produce a label for each CD that is close to the original label from Tim Shoppa, although since they were scanned (THANK YOU FOR THE HELP), they are not perfect. They are available at $ 5 / $ 9 / $ 12 for 1 / 2 / 3 CDs. In addition, I understand that Memorex Black CD-Rs have a longer shelf life and are available at Business Depot. If anyone wants those instead, add $ 1 for each CD that you are requesting. Thus those amounts are $ 6 / $ 11 / $ 15 I will be picking up some Memorx CD-R blanks in a few days and starting on the copies for those who have already requested that a Black CD-R be used. Please include your mailing address!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In general, I will regard any funds you send as a gift so that if anyone really can't afford the CDs, please state why that is so. Outside of the US, probably about $ 2 should be sufficient for extra postage. All amounts are in US dollars. Please ask if you are not in the US. No point in converting twice. Sincerely yours, Jerome Fine -- If you attempted to send a reply and the original e-mail address has been discontinued due a high volume of junk e-mail, then the semi-permanent e-mail address can be obtained by replacing the four characters preceding the 'at' with the four digits of the current year.

Intel made aboveboards that took 256K DIPs, 1 Meg DIPs and 30 pin SIMMs. They made 8 bit versions beside 16 bit versions. With the DIP Daughter board IIRC you could get 16 Meg of RAM on the card. Some of the 16 bit versions could be used in 8 bit slots. It was a very versatile line of cards for many years. An interesting side story. They came out with a 5 year warranty. Intel in Hillsboro, OR used to have employee sales where Intel employees could buy surplus and scrap at bargain basement prices. Several people bought some non working aboveboards that were failures from the production line. They then got turned in for warranty repair because they were less than 5 years old. Once Intel figured out what was going on that was the end of the employee garage sales. From that point on they shredded the production failures in Hillsboro. Paxton Astoria, OR
