This is a longshot. But has anyone got Bill Bashams Diversi Dial for the Apple IIe? I've been searching for this for a few years, and have come up completely empty. The people who have it want to keep it for nostalgia (understandable). I would actually be connecting the Ddial to a terminal server box (bsd or linux) and run the chat system live on a IIe. I guess I'll have to find the serial cards too ;) Thanks!

Programmable Calculators?

by amcgee＠freeshell.org

Hi Folks, I'm new to the list, and yes, I found my way via the SlashDot posting. Question: Do you include programmable calculators or PDAs under the label of "classic computers?" What about game machines? If this is in the FAQ, just tell me to RTFM. Thanks.

New Coprocessor card acquired - YARC Sprinter (AMD 29000)

by bernd＠kopriva.de

Hi, today I'm lucky to add another card to my (little) coprocessor card collection ... ... a YARC Sprinter card, which includes an AMD 29000 processor. As for most of my other cards, this one doesn't include any documentation or software :-( I do not expect to get any information from Yarc Systems/Trevor Marshall, as i got no aswers for my requests regardning my Yarc transputer card ... Can someone on the list help me ? Thanks Bernd Bernd Kopriva Phone: ++49-7195-179452 Weilerstr. 24 E-Mail: bernd(a)kopriva.de D-71397 Leutenbach Germany

ADM-3A lower case modifications - another thought?

by c.morris＠townsqr.com

I was wondering if anyone has used an FPGA or similar programmable device as a replacement for the unobtainable lower-case 2513 character generator in the ADM-3A terminal. I am trying to avoid fabricating an adapter board to use a 27xx EPROM since the pinouts are quite different. Since the only unusual pin on the 2513 is the GND on 10 (and 12 is not used) I would like to just be able to jumper the board pin 12 to ground and plug in a 24 pin device with programmable I/O pins to match the 2513 address lines and data outputs. Does anyone know which device would be the most suitable? thanks Charles

Looking for a Heathkit H-8 LED Display Cover

by Gary.Messick＠itt.com

Nick, Seeing as you mentioned your H-11 manuals... I have an H-11 I'm trying to bring back to life. Is there any way I could borrow (or have you copy) your H-11 Operation manual. I have every H-11 manual except that one! I have H-11 Assembly, Serial, Parallel, H-27, etc. just not the H-11 operation. I've checked the PS (end of H-11 assembly), and everything *should be* fine, but no workee! I'm not sure where the problem lies. If you're unwilling to lend/copy the manual, could we spend some time e-mailing each other about various steps for checkout? Thanks, Gary (PS, I'm in Fort Wayne, Indiana if that matters any.) -----Original Message----- From: Nick [mailto:nickmiller@charter.net] Sent: Tuesday, January 07, 2003 9:50 PM To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Subject: Looking for a Heathkit H-8 LED Display Cover I picked up a Heathkit H-8 the other day, well...

Config info on HP1000 memory?

by fmc＠reanimators.org

Bob Shannon <bshannon(a)tiac.net> wrote: > I've got multiple 256KW boards working. Do you need the switch > configurations?? Thanks for jogging my memory on this, I've been carrying the manual around for a couple of days. Looks like the 12699H, 12746H, 12747H, and 12749H boards each have a set of switches or jumpers labelled with some subset of letters A through H, and how these are set selects the base address of the board. Jumper in or switch closed is a logical 0 and jumper out or switch open is a logical 1. A is 0x004000 B is 0x008000 C is 0x010000 D is 0x020000 E is 0x040000 F is 0x080000 G is 0x100000 H is 0x200000 Some boards have some of the jumpers/switches hard wired, others require you to set them certain ways. E.g. 12746H needs A out, G out, H in and 12749H claims that A, B, C, D, G, and H are all hardwired out. All boards appear as a single chunk of memory, so a 12749H board with 256KW can only appear at 0x000000-0x03ffff, 0x040000-0x07ffff, 0x080000-0x0bffff, or 0x0c0000-0x0fffff (these are the four 256KW chunks from 0 to 1024KW). Most boards appear to be limited to appearing below 1024KW. The 12746H appears to be limited to appearing below 512KW. -Frank McConnell

FPU, FAQ, and hardware for free

by arthur.russell＠teradyne.com

Jim, I stumbled on www.classiccmp.org and noticed your reply to William Donzelli's post (yesterday): > have done a lot of business with them. Although they still give me > grief when I bring the se30 in for its occasional upgrade (new disk, > max out the ram, now idly seeking an FPU for it. :) Is the FPU you're looking for the 68882? If so, I think I have one. I don't know what package types this was offered in, my vague recollection is that the one I have is about 1.5" square pin-grid array. Anyway, you're welcome to it if you're interested. In return (or in spite of this!) I have only one request: the FAQ link for the Classic Computing message board doesn't seem to work for me - I need it because I want to offer the rest of my old Apple hardware up for grabs, but I don't want to spam the list with things like: "I have a complete Apple][+ system with a fair number of expansion cards and Sider 10MB HD. The remainder of what I have is old Mac-era stuff, I think I have had to throw out all of my one-piece hardware (Pluses and SEs) but I have a complete Mac IIci, possibly a IIsi, and some PM6100 and Centris 610 form factor stuff that wants a home." Perhaps there is a subset of folks that are interested in providing a home to more old hardware? I'm located just north of Boston MA. All the best, Arthur

> the MPU-401 and MT-32. Speaking of which. What is an MT-32 like > compared > to the MPU-401? I've never seen one. IIRC the MT-32 is a full length card. I'm fairly sure that back in the day I picked one up. Can't remember how. The music from it was superb, at least for the time -- probably still. I think I played a lot of Wing Commander with it. Later I got a Sound Canvas, which I on-sold to a musical friend of mine. I think he got the MT-32 too. He used to have a Gravis which I lusted after somewhat, particularly because of the Gravis-only demos of the time. I should see if he still has any of that old stuff. He's a bit of a pack rat simply because he's always too busy to sort anything out. Chris J.

HP Integral?

by glenslick＠hotmail.com

How would you go about dumping the SE ROM? Is that a board that plugs into one of the two expansion slots? Are the ROMs on the board socketed so you could remove them and read and dump them? Assuming that would be possible, I wonder what it would take to build a new board with the same functionality and ROM images. I have two IPCs, but no SE ROM for either. I have the BASIC ROM daughter board for the HP-UX ROM board for one of them, but not the other. I was going to try to come up with a way to dump the BASIC ROM, but never really got started with that project. -Glen >From: Joe <rigdonj(a)cfl.rr.com> >Reply-To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org >To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org >Subject: Re: HP Integral? >Date: Sat, 28 Dec 2002 20:03:28 > > Congradulations on the purchase of the IPC.

MPU-401

by trestivo＠concentric.net

I have a MPU-IPC-T Midi Processing Unit available. I believe this is mpu 401 compatable. I was going to put it up on Ebay but would rather see it go to someone here on the board. It contains the box, the 8 bit card, original manual and packaging. The receipt is still in the box and it shows a retail price of $119. It was used only a couple of times and is in excellent condition. If you would like more info or pics email me at trestivo(a)tarinc.com. Make an offer. thom

>With APL you'll probably get $1500-$2000 for the lot, and likely more if you >sell the pieces separately. I, for one, would bid on the 5114 separately >as I >need one, but not the 5110. Really? I figured it would be worth more as a whole. But I guess it does make some sense to be willing to part out the 5114, and then just sell the 5110 with its manuals. This will definitly be the thought running thru my head for the next while... to sell or not to sell... how to put a price on the physical first computer you used. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
