Hi
Try:
http://www.forth.org/
For I/O, you may need to look at the source code some.
It varies from amchine to machine.
Everything in Forth is a word. A word can be as short as :
or longer. These words have actions. Some expect a string,
as in : expects a name and ." expect a string. Words that
start with . are usually some kind of print. The sequence:
4 .
will print the number 4. Here is another fun definition:
: .H BASE @ SWAP HEX U. BASE ! ;
DECIMAL 45 .H
Disk I/O on fig Forth was block I/O. To access the first
block:
0 BLOCK ( returns the address of the buffer, usually 1K )
If you type:
UPDATE FLUSH
it will write the buffer back to the disk.
You could modify the data by:
55 0 BLOCK !
UPDATE FLUSH
Not a good idea to try until you know what damage is done.
The site I just sent does have some tutorials but remember
there were several standards. Most are similar but some
will be different enough to cause troubles. Examples:
2 NOT
will return different values for fig and F89. I forget
which but one will be 0 and the other will be FFFD hex
or -3. One complements the flag and the other complements
the bits.
A good book to find is called "Starting Forth" by Leo Brodie.
Dwight
or maybe I just have to unplug it rather than switch it off
When you turn it off, and leave it in Line mode, and have
an audio feed to the Line such as from a VCR, you can
hear the audio real silently coming thru it, so there is a
good chance the on/off button only does a standby mode.
With there still being sound this seems likely. If the magnetism
is strong it may take two weeks of switching off overnight to
visibly reduce it and once or twice a week after that to keep
it gone.
Lee.

Since I've been curious about ISIS for some time, I was glad to finally
borrow a copy of the _ISIS-II System User's Guide_. Comparing ISIS to
CP/M is quite instructive. I already knew that CP/M has a few design
flaws which ISIS lacks. On the other hand, I was surprised at how much
memory ISIS takes up. And ISIS has its own design flaws (things are fatal
errors that might be recoverable in CP/M, disk formatting can be quite
complicated).
Does anyone have details on the monitor, ICE80 (simulator), UPM (PROM
programmer), or PLM80? I have seen the System/360 version of PL/M but
I didn't realize it ran _on_ the 8080. (The manual implies that it does.)
Having a system that can develop its own software is important, I would say.
(Yes, Tony, we already talked about the front panel and monitor on one of
the Intellec systems, but I think this hardware/software is different.)

Then again, it supports submit files, conditional execution

the early DOS. The only thing I found missing was that it
really wasn't a multi-user OS.

Mine either doesn't have it, or it doesn't work (I tried the on/off thing
many times in the past, never seems to help)
It is a Sharp commercial quality TV. I got it from Disney Property
Control when working there. Paid $25 bucks for it. It was pulled from the
Walt Disney World Dolphin AV Department. The front panel that flips up to
cover the buttons is missing, and there is some asthetic damage to the
bezel, and the screen draws a little low, so you can see the synch line
across the top... but other than that, it is a VERY nice TV for $25
(stereo, has S-Video inputs, and its a flat tube so in my opinion, the
colors are a bit nicer and glare is reduced).
So maybe the degauss is also broken, or maybe I just have to unplug it
rather than switch it off. When you turn it off, and leave it in Line
mode, and have an audio feed to the Line such as from a VCR, you can hear
the audio real silently coming thru it, so there is a good chance the
on/off button only does a standby mode. (The audio leak is also REAL fun
when guests stay the night, I leave it in a state where it will leak
sound, and then tell people before they go to sleep that I sometimes have
ghost problems, but not to worry they are harmless ghosts.... then I get
a great laugh in the morning when they are all freaked out because they
heard whispering voices all night long)

Thinking about my Bulk Tape Eraser... and all the use of the word gauss
in the replies... can I use the thing to degauss my TV set at home? It
has a nasty purple zone on one side, and yellow on the other (large
speakers have sat too close to the TV for the last 3 years... I recently
rearranged furniture so the speakers are away from it now).
Can I use something as small as the tape eraser on a 25 inch screen? or
do I really have to buy a CRT degaussing ring. Just trying to save myself
the $35 for a ring if I have something that will do the job sitting here
already.

Re: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2034559690 (Ebay
auction of Heath H-89)
If you look at the last picture in the listing, it show a board that is
mounted on top of the CRT. The same picture clearly shows the mounting
screws for both the terminal board + the CPU board, so this has to be some
sort of an aftermarket board. My thinking is it is some third-party
graphics board. I just wonder if anyone else has any ideas about this.

You have, the degauss coil built into the set. Just switch it off
at the mains when you use it least (overnight or whenever)
instead of putting it on standby and the set will degauss
itself in a few days.

I thought I'd run across P/OS RX50 images on an ftp site somewhere
recently, but I cannot find them now. I am attempting to save myself
a _lot_ of work - the other night, I discovered that the shelf of grey
boxes marked "Professional..." on my shelves contain several sets
of PO/S distribution floppies - one each of most, if not all, the
versions. Since I've recently set up a box with a 5.25" floppy and
PUTR, I was thinking of archiving them, but if it's already been
done, no need to to it twice.
I did re-locate my Ultrix-32M 1.1 diskettes last night... they are
on the stack. I have MicroVMS 4.0 done, can't find any of MicroVMS
4.1 and am missing one box of MicroVMS 4.2, but have MicroVMS 4.4
through 4.7, seemingly complete.
So... the specific question at hand - are there available PO/S floppy
images, or should I run several pounds of media through my drive?

Yes, but I've seen customers open up the box if Windows doesn't work the
way they expect ;>)
Coupla examples of customer repairs and "upgrades":
Proprietary Mitsumi CD-ROM drive plugged into IDE port on a sound card
(burnt board).
Hard drive or CD-ROM drive attached to motherboard by floppy drive cable.
IDE cables spliced together so the system can accommodate more than four
IDE devices.
PCI device edge-connector forced into an ISA slot (burnt pcb on device and
motherboard).
Sound card attached to case properly, but toward the outside edge of the
motherboard (where
there was no slot of any kind -- sound card's edge connector was hanging in
the air above the MB).

If someone seems capable of installing a device AND DRIVERS, I tell them to
break the seal, and I also tell them that if they screw something up that
there might be a repair bill. For the general public, though, it's "break
the seal and lose your warranty."
Fair enough?

Dwight,
The connector blanks shown in the picture are factory standard of the later
models, and they included a BLANK for 488. I agree, I don't think Heath
ever made a card to implement it, buy my '89 has the 488 blank on it also.
The only IO positions populated would indicate a 3-port Serial, and an
extern floppy I/F of some sort (they supported 8" and Hard and Soft 5 1/4"
of various densities.
I remember seeing third party adds (in the day) for add-on graphics
capabilities, but don't really remember how they were installed. ISTR that
they were replacement boards for the terminal board, but I could be wrong.
The reason I asked was, as a kid, I drooled over the ability to do pixel
graphics on a CP/M machine. I wonder if this would be a cheap way to pick
on up? Probably 0 documentation on it. Maybe I'll email him....

Hmm, how about holding the board over a gas grill, with a pan to
catch the dripping solder? Or would that not be hot enough?
Put the circuit board on a cookie cooling rack, with a baking sheet
to catch the drippings?
Of course, there's always a benchgrinder, cut-off wheel on a drill,
end-nips, diagonal cutters...
Or you could do the slow way of a soldering iron.
Personally, I like the idea of cooking it all off over a high
flame... 8-)

Hi Gary
The list of ports would lead me to think it was expanded
I/O. The 89 didn't have such things as a 488 port.

Hello,
We are powering down our VAX Cluster for the last time on July 1, 2002 and
we want to remove if from the computer room as soon as possible after that.
Our Cluster consists of a VAX 7710, VAX 6410, MicroVAX 3100/10E and MicroVAX
3100/30. We are using MTI hard and tape drives for storage. All the Digital
equipment has been under maintenance contract with Digital for the life of
the equipment and all the equipment is in fine working order (but of
course).
We also have a couple of printers, 3 or 4 monitors, a 19" monitor that uses
a mouse, and various documentation.
We are located in Windsor, Connecticut, 1 mile from exit 38 on Rt. 91.
I have sent out an email offering the system to a group of Connecticut
hospitals that may be using similar equipment, but I have no preference of
were it goes. (Irrationally, I would like it to go to a good home were it
could still be productive).
If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
Giles Strekel

Hello guys
I'm trying to resurrect a PDP 11/23 and we're in need of a QBUS memory
card - does anyone have one for spare/swap?
Thanks for your time
Alex

It covered a number of school districts in Suffolk County on Long Island

I would be interested in your thoughts of the project, based on what
you have.
Thank you.
