Unfortnately, in the online archive of the HP1000/e/f/m Engineering

The 306/307s also have built in BCD decoders. I've been trying to find a
data sheet on the 311 so that I can see what the difference is between it
and the 306/307.

MEK is indeed methyl ethyl ketone, aka butanone. It's not particularly
toxic, nor particularly dangerous -- very roughly on a par with iso-propyl
alcohol, and less dangerous than some solvents that have been mentioned on
this list for use on plastics. It's used industrially to "weld" ABS and
PVC, as a cleaner in the printing industry, as a degreasing agent, to clean
equipment used for plastic foam (including cans of the expanding urethane
foam filler used in the building industry), and as a constituent of some
plastic glues. It will dissolve most ink and some paints. Like IPA,
acetone (nail varnish remover), methylated sprit, etc, it's fairly
flammable.
It will attack a lot of plastics, but not most epoxies (once properly
cured) or "waxy" plastics like polythene. The effect on potting compund
will depend on the compound, but it will make some types of RTV (Room
Temperature Vulcanising compound) "silicone" swell and eventually make some
types crumbly. BTW, the acetic acid given off by curing RTV is rated as
10-50 times more toxic than MEK :-)

I believe there's one in my local air museum, along with a B52. Sneaking them

Hi Everyone,
I have a couple of old systems some of you might be interested in. The first
one is a Vector. This is an all in on unit running CPM as the OS. I only
have the system for this one.
The second is an old Commodore SX-64. For those who don't know it, it is a
small portable Commodore 64. It had a small (maybe 5" diagonal) color crt
and 5 1/4" disk drive internal. I have many additional peripherals for it
including additional 5 1/4" drive, 20MB HD, Memory expansion model (256k),
mouse, GEOS OS, HearSay 2000 (speech recognition and speech module) and lots
of software. It is in 100% working condition and has been well cared for. If
you have any questions about these or other systems please feel free to ask.

306's or 307s will work equally well. The one difference between them is that one has the decimal point to the left of the digit and the other has the dp on the right. My unit doesn't use the decimal points so either display will work fine.

Hi
It depends. Not all parallel ports are created equal.
Many are bi-directional though. There are about 3 different
flavors. As I recall, I connected the parallel data out
to the data lines and ran the strobe to one of the status
input lines. There is a start and stop signal that uses
to start and stop the tape as well. I can give you a copy
of my code.
There is a web page, http://www.lvr.com/parport.htm , that
has several links to parallel port stuff. Since you are now
at the hardware level and on a roll, this is a good place
to look.
I don't recall if the two drives that you loaned me were
parallel or serial outs. I think one was a parallel though.

If you're in a hurry, skip to the request at the end.
Good news! The travesty that was my first attempt at a new web site for
ClassicCmp.org has only a few days' worth of life still left in it. We've
been long overdue a web site that doesn't (completely) suck, and I intend to
provide one as soon as possible. I am finished with college and have become
comfortable with my new job, so I now have adequate time to make ClassicCmp
a better tool for its members and for the world's classic computer
enthusiasts in general.
The first stage will be a small set of static documents which will provide a
*consistent* view of the site's current content: mailing list info, mail
archives, and the FAQ. There will be no mention of anything under
construction. Documents will be simple, nearly text-only, XHTML-compliant,
and lynx-compliant. Expect this to be up soon.
I have written the first half of the spam-defense mechanism we discussed
several weeks ago. This half isn't the CGI program I talked about, but
instead the processor that replaces email addresses in an HTML document with
links to that CGI program. Due to popular demand, the email address info
encoded in the links is encrypted by two iterations of DES. I am currently
investigating human-verification methods to be used in the CGI program.
Expect the archives to be spam-proofed soon.
Thanks to Tothwolf the packrat, the missing months of the old list archives
have been recovered. Expect them to be up soon, as soon as I decide whether
to keep Pipermail or switch to Hypermail (what we used to use) for message
archiving. I'm leaning toward Hypermail.
Once these things are done and a decent web site is in place, I will look at
developing a much more complex, second-stage site, with a file archive, link
database, and some degree of dynamicity via PHP or similar. If you have a
suggestion, please let me know via private email.
By the way, we now have exactly 720 subscribers.
I would also like to hear (private email please) from subscribers with
comments for or against the current two-list system. Defense of the system
is welcome, as are ideas for better ways of doing it. Is it necessary?
Should we go back to one list? Should we have more than two lists? Something
else? I want _your_ opinion!

While thinking about racks to use for mounting my PDP-11/44
components, as well as other equipment from test equipment to audio
and synth equipment, something just occured to me: why bother with
hunting down steel racks when some 2x4s and lag bolts may suffice just
as well? I was thinking that one can just run 2x4s from the basement
floor up to the heavy wooden rafters, attach them to the rafters, and
then add horizontal supports at the bottom to space the vertical 2x4s
apart properly. Any thoughts on this? I guess the museum-type
equipment purists won't like the idea, but it would be a cheap and
functional solution for many of us. :-) Has anyone else here tried
this?
Lastly, has anyone on this list tried retrofitting non-rack-mount
equipment into racks? E.g., welding (or "JB Weld"ing) rack-mount tabs
onto systems like PCs and Kaypros, as well as making rack-mountable
shelves to hold the Macintoshes, etc.? Just trying to think of ways
to save space. Stacking system on top of system, helter skelter, as
systems are added, tends to result in rather annoying, space hogging,
piles of systems after a while, making some systems difficult to get
to at times.

Hi
You need to look a little more. You should find other files
that may be named incorrectly as *.z8k. Some of these are
actually source files and not executables. Most of the assembly
source were called *.8kn. Also, many of the files have some
garble at there ends. This was because of the extraction process.
If you look at them carefully, you'll see that the text starts
to repeat it self at some point. Just delete the repeated
text to the end. I may have these files in PC file format
after they have been cleaned up.
I have gone through the process of starting with the source
files for the BIOS and actually creating a new BIOS. I was
careful to make sure that it ended up matching the original
release image. In anycase, with new BIOS code, I should be able
to build another new image. This would be much easier than
starting from scratch. When you get done, you'd be able to
use the C compiler and assembler that came with this release.
I'll go back and see, just which files I used so that you
can use the matching ones. There were several different
source pieces to hunt through. Some of them were older versions.
The 1.1 stuff is actually the most current. The other revs seem
to be pre-release stuff.

Hi David
It may not be as hard as you'd think. First, you don't have
to cross compile CPM-8000. There already is a CPM-8000. Recently,
source and release code was found for this and, working with Chris
Groessle, we've managed to bring it up on our Olivetti M20's.
This code was originally written for the M20, as it was the only
major machine sold with a Z8000 ( there were a few SBC's out there ).
The release comes with a C compiler and an assembler. There is
source code for the BIOS as well. It does depend on the M20
ROM code for low level access. This CPM was mostly written by
a combination of Zilog and DR people. It is mostly written in
C with a minimum written in assembly.
There are a few issues. Even though the manual says you can get by
with only 128K, this would be difficult. Several of the utilities
require two 64K chunks ( one for instruction and one for data ).
It would be best if the other system functions had there own piece
of RAM to work in. One needs to map the memory such that you can
access a single 64K as both instruction and data as well as
the 128K as 64k instruction and 64k data.
The bad news is that we don't have the complete source for the
CPM. The BIOS does require that it be compiled on a running CPM-8000.
As the documents state, it would be difficult to build it on
some other system. Still if someone is willing to write a BIOS
for their board, I'd be willing to compile the code for them on
my machine.

have a copy of the Zilog "Microcomputer Components - Data Book Feb 1980" and
a copy of "Programming the Z8000" (a Sybec book), but that is about as far
as I ever got. I was tinkering with the thought of modding the SIMH emulator
to include a Z8000 system, but I don't have any details or experience of any
real systems. I then though to invent a fictitious S100 system, based on the
existing Altair emulation, but with a Z8000 CPU. This could most likely run
a CPM8000 system, with the appropriate BDOS changes. But a lot of work would
be need to get a set of compilers/cross compilers for the Z8000, either in
tracking them down or writing them. I saw recently that BDS C has been put
into the public domain with full source, so there might be some avenue
there. Still to generate CPM (or MPM) for a fictitious machine would be a
mammoth undertaking, I have all the source code needed, just not the
compilers. It would require an 8080/Z80 to Z8000 cross assembler (to avoid
rewriting all the assembler), a Z8000 PLM compiler, and a Z8000 C compiler.

Hi Everyone,
I have a couple of old systems some of you might be interested in. The first
one is a Vector. This is an all in on unit running CPM as the OS. I only
have the system for this one.
The second is an old Commodore SX-64. For those who don't know it, it is a
small portable Commodore 64. It had a small (maybe 5" diagonal) color crt
and 5 1/4" disk drive internal. I have many additional peripherals for it
including additional 5 1/4" drive, 20MB HD, Memory expansion model (256k),
mouse, GEOS OS, HearSay 2000 (speech recognition and speech module) and lots
of software. It is in 100% working condition and has been well cared for. If
you have any questions about these or other systems please feel free to ask.

Figured I'd ask before I put a lot of time into sorting the thing out the
hard way. <G>
Anyone have the pinouts for an EECO TES-9301 8 level punched tape
reader/spooler?
I expect parallel with status and control lines, but like many critters it
comes out on a DB25 connector and I have no docs on it...
Thanks;

Hi,
I just received an M7847 16KWord memory card for my PDP-11/10. But I
can't find any settings for the switches on it. Any one have any
documentation?
Thanks.

Hello, all:
Does anyone have a spare copy of this that they can part with? I
have most of the info spread over several different help files but I
sometimes find it helpful to have the relatively compact original handy.
Please contact me off-list. Thanks.
