What was that old Amiga programming language...?

by jplist2008＠kiwigeek.com

So back in the early '90s when I was a boy scout (which is not usually a good start to a story) we had a camp leader who had a couple of Amigas. I'm certain one was a 1200, but I'm not sure that's relevant. At any rate, he had a BASIC-like programming language that allowed very easy manipulation of images and sound and used it to construct games. The magic thing was that he would very easily steal tiles, sprites, sounds and music from _commercial_ games which he could then drop into this language and manipulate. Now, I'm remembering this from across the void of time, but I remember being really amazed that he could so easily pull a sprite from a game and then reuse it. Did I imagine this, or does someone know what I'm talking about here? Cheers; - JP

Help with an IBM 3430 tape drive

by nigel.d.williams＠gmail.com

A good friend has a well preserved IBM 3430 tape drive, originally connected to an IMPI AS/400, and we are now hopeful that it could be reconnected to a slightly more modern AS/400, still IMPI and still SPD. This would give us a local 9-track tape capability: here are some pictures: https://picasaweb.google.com/118247290269860741639/IBM3430TapeDrive#5606377… What we are particularly interested to learn is whether we have the "master" tape drive, known as a A01 unit (that includes the controller electronics) or the tape-drive-only unit known as the B01 variant. We added a picture today (see very last picture) of the main controller electronics cage that shows several plug-in cards, is anyone familiar with these and can identify the variant by sight? we searched the entire machine looking for some designation that showed the model variant without success. So we assume it comes down to the controller cage, and we see empty slots so we wonder if it is the B01 variant.

VCF East 9.0 postponed

by evan＠snarc.net

VCF East 9.0, scheduled for May 18-19 this year, is postponed to next year. That's because our venue sustained some Sandy-related damage. It's nothing unfixable (and no artifacts in our museum were harmed), but we are not certain about having the buildings repaired in time for the show. So, in spring 2014, we'll host VCF East 9.1. ;) However we will probably have a swap meet and/or other smaller events this year. Details TBD. In the meantime, there's VCF Southeast 1.0, VCF Europa, and VCF Midwest this year. (I don't know the details about Southwest or UK.) Sellam is still looking for someone * immensely qualified * to take over VCF West. The person MUST: 1. have proven experience and success in running a sizeable convention; 2. be extremely reliable; 3. understand modern marketing techniques; and 4. have substantial time to devote to the show. If anyone's interested and qualified, then feel free to contact me, and I can help you understand what's involved.

FW: lost emails on SCSI to IDE/SD converter project

by wwarthen＠gmail.com

Yeah, I am rebooting after changing the partition table and I am being careful to "zero" the device before trying to run fdisk. A "real" Seagate ST125N is working in the same test setup, so it is possible for it to work, but I have no good way to see the exact SCSI protocol exchange with the ST125N to see what the difference is.

Datasheets for SDA-5, other old part numbers?

by v.slyngstad＠frontier.com

Hi, I'm looking at the schematics for some old DEC boards, and I'm having some trouble locating datasheets for the old parts. I know, for instance, that the SDA-6 was a matched pair of transistors, and equivalent to the 2N2060. I can get a datasheet for the 2N2060 (nd pretend it's a datasheet for the SDA-6). But what about the other SDA-n? In particular, at the moment I am looking for a datasheet for the SDA-5. All I know so far is the pin-out, and that it was a matched pair of NPN transistors. (Oh yeah, and the DEC part number was 15-01857.) Similarly for diodes. I know a D662 is equivalent to a 1N945, but what the heck are the parameters for a D007? Any pointers to old data books or whatever would help. Thanks, Vince -- o< The ASCII Ribbon Campaign Against HTML Email!

Fw: [N8VEM: 15431] Re: SCSI2IDE Progress

by lynchaj＠yahoo.com

Hi ? Another quick update on S2I project editted for privacy and brevity.? More progress yesterday and really great news.? Still developmental obviously but am actively looking for additional test cases to shake out the firmware.? Old PC/XTs with?SCSI controllers and the early Macs seem like the logical starting point but there could be others.? Unexpected bonus is some interaction with SCSI-2 but that's out of scope for the project.? If someone gets it working then that's great but not the primary objective. ? If you want to help with compatibility testing you'll need a serial terminal or PC running along side to capture the diagnostic message stream.? That maybe a useful feature in its own right being able to peer into previously hidden SCSI command interaction stream. ? Please contact me at LYNCHAJ at YAHOO.COM if you have more questions or want more information.? Better yet S2I is a discussion topic at N8VEM mailing list. ? Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch Subject: [N8VEM: 15431] Re: SCSI2IDE Progress To: n8vem at googlegroups.com Date: Monday, January 21, 2013, 11:42 PM Hi Folks, Another quick progress report on SCSI2IDE. ?I got a decent amount of time to work on it this weekend and now have all basic functionality working. ?The firmware now reasonably emulates a SCSI 20MB hard disk. ?On both of my test environments, I am able to partition, format, read/write, and boot DOS 3.3. I am now at a point where I would like to solicit help with compatibility testing. ?I'm sure it will be a bit rough at first, but I need feedback on other platforms. ?Please refer to the Wiki folder:?http://n8vem-sbc.pbworks.com/w/browse/#view=ViewFolder&param=SCSI%2…. ?You can download the firmware in the file S2I Firmware.zip. ?There is a page with more detailed information called S2I Status. ?It is easy to build the firmware and there is a pre-built ROM in there if you don't want to do a build. The one warning is that it is currently very slow. ?I have gobs of diagnostics being spit out to the serial port (necessary evil while we work through compatibility) and there are many code optimizations I have not yet bothered with. There is still a long way to go, but it is awesome to finally see this board doing what it was intended to. ?:-) Thanks,

FW: lost emails on SCSI to IDE/SD converter project

by LYNCHAJ＠YAHOO.COM

Hi Below is an edited for privacy update on the S2I project. There is no over-stating the importance of today's developments. This is huge! I am sending this to you for a couple of reasons. First, we are getting close to needing some additional builders to build and test S2I on some other platforms for compatibility testing. In particular, I would like early Mac and early Amiga fans since I think both of those are rich areas for SCSI quirkiness. Also the early DEC might be good too but I don't know enough about them one way or the other. Second, we are reaching the end of the first batch of S2I prototype boards and will soon need the second prototype board. So far we've raised $130 of the $200 we'll need for the new PCBs. If you would please consider helping out with the second batch of boards I would appreciate it and it will benefit many in the vintage/classic/hobbyist/home brew community. More news as it becomes available. Please ask questions or contact me at LYNCHAJ at YAHOO.COM Thanks and have a nice day! Andrew Lynch Sent: Monday, January 21, 2013 11:47 AM To: Andrew Lynch Subject: Re: lost emails on SCSI to IDE/SD converter project Hi Folks, Just another quick progress report. I managed to get a few hours of uninterrupted time yesterday and continued to have more success. Although the code is a complete disaster, I now have full read/write functionality. I am running the SCSI2IDE from my Xi 8088 with a Future Domain adapter that has a boot ROM. I am able to run DOS from the SDSI2IDE with no problems. Reading and writing data between the host and my CF card seems to be rock solid. I even ran an Adaptec utility that does a read/write test and it worked fine. At present, I am dumping a lot of diagnostics with every command including portions of data, so it is very slow. Additionally, I have not implemented the pseudo-dma mode. I am nowhere near working on performance -- that comes last. The only anomaly I have observed is that DOS 6.22 FDISK reports "No space for DOS partition on drive" when I try to use it to create a primary partition. However, I am completely successful if I use DOS 3.3 FDISK to create the partition, then use DOS 6.22 to format the partition and make it bootable. I see odd command requests from the host when trying to use DOS 6.22 FDISK to create the partition and suspect there is something about the ROM in my adapter that is problematic for newer versions of DOS. To be clear, the command requests are valid SCSI commands, it is just that they don't make sense given what FDISK is supposed to be doing. I will try to get the code straightened out enough to post an update on the Wiki in the next few days. We are very close to the point where it will be helpful to get others running this "alpha" code on a variety of different systems for compatibility testing. I'm hoping some of you folks can help with that. Thanks,
