Nah... too broke to afford shipping anything else around.
But thanks for reminding me that I have to take a drive up to you to pick
up the remaining "stuff" (junk is a little harsh of a word, but may fit
some of it better).
We'll have to hash out a good time off list.

I'm surprised Chris hasn't asked about those HP LJIIs yet. There's a

Hi,
This is Ross -- just saying hello to the group.
I'm a software engineer by profession, but an 8-bit hacker
by avocation. While I'm especially interested in 6502
hardware, Z80, 8080, and even 1802 stuff is also of
keen interest.
It's partly nostalgia, and partly that these old systems
are understandable by mere mortals with a reasonable amount
of effort. I love how one could get a book or two and know
everything you need to program one of those old machines,
vs. today when the number of standards and interfaces has
gone spinning out of control of the individual hobbyist,
at which point it becomes more "work" than "play".
I still think studying those older micros is a perfect
way to truly understand the principles involved in
computing without all the distractions of multi-level
caching, out-of-order execution, branch prediction,
branch delay slots, etc. etc. Once grounded in those
basic principles, you can build the rest. IMHO.
Currently, my stable of hardware includes:
1) A nearly pristine KIM-1, currently serving
as a 24-hour clock. I posted some "ready-to run"
software and scans of user manuals, and a few
songs played by KIM, etc.
at http://www.learnmicros.com.
2) Commodore 128. I like this because it can
be used to learn CP/M and Z80 ML
as well as hack at the '02 and C64. :)
3) Apple IIe. Nice accessible hardware to hack with.
4) TI99/4A. Anyone want for the cost of shipping?
I just can't fit this one into my collection very well,
and there are only a few cartridges for it.
5) Daryl Rictor's SBC2. I got that SBC tweaked to
run at the blazing speed of 6 Mhz running a variant
of BASIC called EHBASIC. This is my current timesink.
A 6502 at 6Mhz is not too shabby. :)
Anyways, holas again to the group and hope you
all are having great summers.

>from the I-thought-it-was-programmable department:
Anyone know what the K key does on my Texas Insturments SR-40 (I'ts got an LED
display, it 'gots' to be old!)
I have googled, I found lots of stuff on a signal processor (?) with that
name, and a few pages that show the calculator, and give a date range for
Mfg. but nothing that describes the keyboard.
I tried pressing the K key in several cases
5 sin = 5 K sin
543 = 54K3 (K does not end a number )
tis a puzzlement. : ^ )
Hi, all.
Will a Sparcstation 1 run OK with mixed parity & non-parity SIMMs?
Each bank is a matched set, but I have 8 parity sticks and 8 non-parity.
The "test-memory" diagnostic from the boot monitor seems not to mind,
but I thought I ought to ask anyhow.
Doc
Does anyone have knowledge of getting an OS running on such a beast?
It's on AIX at the moment, which it's owner really doesne like. He'd
prefer a bsd or l**ux if it's possible...?

Anyone know what the 10 position Configuration switch does on the back of an
HP 9133H drive unit? I tried some google searching for info on this drive
unit and didn't come up with much.
I just picked up one of these drive units at a surplus store and hooked it
up to my HP Integral PC. It looks like it shows up as 9 different devices,
where D001 is the floppy and D000, D100, ..., D700 are 8 disk partitions.
Can you configure the drive so that it shows up as fewer and larger
partitions?

Hi all...
Space is getting to be a problem here and I am mostly into home/hobby micros
>from the 70s and 80s (thats what I grew up with) but could not pass this
up...since I hear so many discussions about DEC on this newsgroup...
I dont think the models and equipement are rare, but getting any kinda DEC
stuff up here in Montreal, for free, in perfect cosmetic and working
condition with tons of software is rare...for me anyways...I guess the trick
was tracking down some older ex DEC employees around here...
Vaxstation 4000 VLC
Vaxstation 4000 - 60
Storage Expansion with tape drive
DEC mouse
VRT19-HA monitor
and a few cables...
No missing parts, no cracks, no broken doors...
I only see occasionnal DEC stuff at a scrap/surplus computer place here and
its always in very bad shape...and owner always asks for $s in the "what???"
range....
I dont really know this equipement...but fun to explore I guess...
And the guys says : oh!....I have more DEC...way more at one of my houses if
you are interested...! I guess I might be...

I tried running the MDS version of Super Star Trek (from your link).
Unfortunately, it uses the DEF function, which is not currently supported in
my interpreter (On the TRS-80, which is the version of BASIC I used for the
spec, DEF is a "DISK BASIC" function, not in the standard MS BASIC Level 2.
But, I've added several DISK BASIC statements, and DEF is the next on my
list to add, one of these days.
The version of Super Star Trek I included in my collection is from Creative
Computing, and doesn't use the DEF statement.
There is also a great version of Star Trek that uses some TRS-80 graphics
that will work, on trs-80.com in the model I software section.
Here is a history of Super Star Trek as noted by David Ahl (editor of
Creative Computing):
----
Many versions if Star Trek have been kicking around various college campuses
since the late sixties. I recall playing one at Carnegie-Mellon UNiv. in
1967 or 1968, and a very different one at Berkeley. However, these were a
far cry fron the one written by Mike Mayfield of Centerline Engineering
and/or Custom Data. This was written for an HP2000C and completed in October
1972. It became the "standard" Star Trek in February 1973 when it was put in
the HP contributed program library and onto a number of HP Data Center
machines.
In the summer of 1973, I converted the HP version to BASIC-PLUS for DEC's
RSTS-11 compiler and added a few bits and pieces while I was at it. Mary
Cole at DEC contributed enormously to this task too. Later that year I
published it under the name SPACWAR (Space War - in retrospect, an incorrect
name) in my book 101 Basic Computer Games. It is difficult today to find an
interactive computer installation that does not have one of these versions
of Star Trek available.

Play classic basic games: http://www.awsoftware.org
Subject pretty much says it all... Anyone have between 8 and 12 or so of
these carts that they could be parted with? Hopefully for less than the
$15/ea that the various dists want for them?
Need them for backups on a new, old thing that has jumped into the
'Garage'. <G>
Thanks;

Howdy!
If you are interested in classic BASIC games running on Windows, check out my collection of classic BASIC games! Each game included in this collection is an original, un-cut classic game from the '70s and early '80s. Although these versions are TRS-80 versions, they are very similar, if not identical, to versions for other computers of the day (Apple II, PDP-11, etc.)
These games run as native windows apps via a Microsoft Level 2 BASIC compatible interpreter that I wrote. The interpreter will run original tokenized or ASCII programs.
Included in the package are classic games, like Hamurabi, Elisa, Star Trek, etc.

Likely way off topic, but I acquired some sort of frequency device in an
auction junk box. It's a well machined device made by MECOS, made in
W.Germant. It's about 2" square by 1/2" powered by a Li. battery and has
micro-switches labelled 3 hz, 7.8 hz, 14.0 hz and a small led that flashes at
the selected frequency. Anyone have any idea what it might be ?
A search turned up that MECOS makes Active Magnetic Bearings and
control boards and programs.

Hi there,
Am looking for one or two of those nice 102 key keyboards for an at&t
6300/olivetti m-24 ibm-xt compatable computers. If you know where there
are any, please email me back. These keyboards have flat key tops and a
very nice action.
Thanks,

Dear Alan
? 'm looking for a SONY MP-F73W-50
You advised that 2 of them will be in the Flea Market this Sunday. I'm a little far from there (in Buenos Aires - Argentina); can you buy them for me?
My I supose they are OK ?
How may I send you the money ?
I will be looking for your answer
Best regards
