Who recognizes this (UK) architecture (from 1970-1985)?

by erik＠baigar.de

Hi There, I am working on restoration, documentation of a some vintage navigation systems from the late 1970ties, which have been designed in the UK. They contain an archaic bit-serial computer and I'd be interested if someone on this list recognizes the architecture and/or can confirm my assumptions: The bitserial computer consists of around 300 TTL chips (54xx); it has 8 bits instructions and operates on 16 bit memory. The 3 LOWER bits of the opcode define the instruction and the HIGHER bits the location (0-31, i.e. address) - most other architectures I know have the instruction coded in the MSBs! Here is a list of the basic instructions: 1 : Load Ac from memory 2 : Store Ac to memory 3 : Add to Ac 4 : Sub from Ac 5 : IO-Instructions (32 Channels, there are some special channels as 0 loads AC with "0" whereas channel 31 loads -1 into Ac). 6 : Shift instructions - depending on the address field, Ac is shifted arithmetically (preserving MSB, the sign) or cyclic. 7 : Bit test instructions - 0-15 test bits of the Ac register, 16-31 test external digital inputs and are used for communication with the hardware. And finally, put last for didactic reasons: 0 : Here we have a bunch of special instructions depending on the address field, like selection of memory page, conditional jump, loading of data from ROM into the Accumulator (Ac), multiply, divide, conditional JUMP,... What makes the architecture very unique to me is, that it has 32 bit capability, i.e. there is a "double length" flag and if this is set, most commands operate on 32 bit (1-6, MUL, DIV). Additionally there is a "logic flag" which causes e.g. the instuctions ADD and SUB to switch to change their operation from ADD/SUB to logic AND/NXOR. Apart from this, ROM and RAM are separated (the CPU cann not exe- cute code in RAM) and the RAM is segmented in 4 pages of 31 words. The machine does not have got a stack, there is no subroutine call and only just one flag used for conditional JUMPs. Via the test in- structions (e.g. test Accu bit 3, test Ac<0) this flag is modified and a following "Jump if Flag Set" acutally causes the conditional JUMP. As the navigation system is made by Ferranti I, already had a look at the varouos computers made by them (Mark1, Pegasus, Atlas, and Argus). I think given the timeline, and the word widths the Argus 600 or 700 architectures may be closely related, but the 600's command set is quite different... http://www.wylie.org.uk/technology/computer/Argus/PeteFarr.htm Can anyone out there confirm this? Is a instruction set listing of the Argus 700 available somewhere? A video on the system can be found fon YouTube although this is not focused on the digital computer it may be of interest as it gives a overview on the application, the projected map cockpit display (one of the devices controlled by the system) and it shows my homebrew logger developed durig analysis of the box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EQqfxiGgd8 Interesting in this system is also the delicate mechanics and the mix of digital computing, analog computing (platform stabilization, compensation of cross talk errors and anisoelasticity, platform erection, first integration from acceleration to speed) and mechanical computing (the ingetration of turn rate happens me- chanically within the gyrsocopes).For this reasons, these systems are the most extraordinary masterpiece of engineering I know... Best regards, Erik, Germany, Munich...

VCF Midwest is Live!

by silent700＠gmail.com

Hello vintage computing fans - we are finally ready to officially re-announce the 11th annual Vintage Computer Festival Midwest! Here are the essentials: What: A weekend of friends, fellowship and frivolity centered around the hobby of vintage computing. Buy, browse, show or sell or any combination thereof. When: September 10-11, 2016 Where: The Holiday Inn of Elk Grove Village, Illinois, minutes from O'Hare International Airport (with a free shuttle) How Much: Zero, 0, null, %0, nil, @0, aught, ought, naught, 0x00, nada, zip, or goose-egg. It's free, too. (BIG ASTERISK BELOW) Last year's move to our new, larger event hall was a resounding and popular success. This year, processes have been streamlined, layouts optimized, synergies leveraged and core competencies enhanced so that 2016 will see us there again with a little bit more space (all that we can get this time) and the same great food, hours and convenience that worked so well last time. Some OK T-Shirts, too, if I finish them on time. Reservations for tables and potential speaking slots will be taken via web form here: http://vcfmw.org/signup.html. We'll contact you soon to follow-up on space requirements or presentations. There is no need to register to attend the show. Table spots may fill up quickly - late registrants may end up with sub-optimal locations. Special convention rate hotel reservations for the Holiday Inn are now open. Follow the link on our site to the reservation page with pre-filled code. If you are making your reservation with your own discount code or without one, please still mention our show (code "VCF") as that is one way we track attendance figures (and more reservations = friendlier hotel.) Please visit our website and FAQ at http://vcfmw.org for all the latest relevant information and don't hesitate to contact me with questions not covered there. (BIG ASTERISK) VCFMW is a community-supported event and does not charge admission - therefore we depend on your donations to cover the costs of the facility rental and other necessaries. Please visit our web page to find two methods of donation (PayPal and GoFundMe) and give what you can.

Possible to Re-flash a Yamaha SCSI CDROM to fake an Apple CDROM ?

by swiftgriggs＠gmail.com

On older Apple 68k machines, having an Apple-branded CDROM means you can be assured it'll boot (though it's rumored that many generic SCSI CDROMs work for booting) and also that it'll "just work" on most of the OSs. I'm guessing it's a simple check to see if the vendor in the firmware is "APPLE". Has anyone ever managed to hack the firmware of something like a Yamaha, Pioneer, or Plextor drive so that it lies and says it's "APPLE" thus being fully enabled by the OS & hardware ? Does anyone know anything about flashing CDROM firmware and the dynamics of such things? I wonder if it'd just be a matter of a simple hexedit/byte-patch on the firmware image then load it up... Is this a bogus idea? The reason for this is that if it's possible, I could buy a Pioneer slot loading SCSI CDROM drive, stuff it into my Quadra 660AV, and then hack it to "just work" instead of needing drivers et al. The slot cover isn't big enough for a normal tray-drive CDROM to work. Thus I can only use a CD300i caddy-based drive (or theoretically - a slot drive). My 300i is a bit of PoS and even after I cleaned it, the thing still has a lot of read problems. -Swift

Cross post - Help repairing badly dented / warped sheet metal casing (Seattle)

by ian.finder＠gmail.com

I recently received something very special to me, a Symbolics XL1200 LISP machine, with framethrower and the works. Despite being shipped in the original SMBX designed carton, UPS dealt a great deal of damage to the system. It looks like it was hit by a truck. This, predictably, makes me very sad. Is there anyone, preferably local, with the skill and tools to make this thing look a little better who can lend a hand? How do I get started undoing the dents and extremely bent base? thanks, - Ian -- Ian Finder (206) 395-MIPS ian.finder at gmail.com

DL11 M7800

Got it; that would mean you're wanting the standard console. > I believe you're saying to connect A7/A3 and V4/V5 Right, insert jumpers A7 and A3, and also V5 and V4. > I still don't understand the pattern. They specify the device address and vector in binary. A7 is the 7th bit of the address, i.e. the 0200 bit. And since the DL11 is 'address jumper in for 0', that bit in the device's address is going to be _0_ when the jumper is in. That would turn 777770 (remember, the device is a block of 8 bytes, from xxxxx0 to xxxxx7, so you can't set the low 3 bits in the base address, they must be 0) into 777570. Similarly, A3 is 010, and turns 777770 to 777760. Put them together, you get 777560. V5 = 040, V4 = 020, so they become a vector of 060. > What would A4, A5, A6 and V7, V6, V3 represent A4 = 020, A5 = 040, A6 = 0100.

No, but I'll whip one up and stick it on the Computer History wiki. > Specifically something that lists all jumper combos and their > corresponding addresses? Well, _all_ the combinations would be 2^8 combinations (there are 8 address jumpers), which is pretty sizeable, and I don't feel like listing them all, but I can list a couple of the most common ones (e.g. console, second line, etc).

SunOS 4

by bryan＠bceassociates.com

Hi, I have really fond memories of this operating system (from before the SVR4 Solaris days). It was the first UNIX I used (and I'm still a big BSD fan). (Not sure what the protocol is here for asking something like this so if I run afoul of a copyright policy or something, just tell me to stop asking and I will.) Is there any way someone can get their hands on an install disc for this? I have some old SPARC hardware that it would be fun to run on if I could find the installer. Thanks, Bryan

DL11 M7800

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: William Degnan > OMG Yeah, but look at it this way: their being inverted can be a memory jogger - 'Oh, the DL11, that effed-up interface where the jumper sense is inverted between address and vector!' Then you only have to look up one of the two.. :-) > Yes, so I can use a terminal with the machine, I need a working > terminal. "Terminal" != "console". (Or, rather, the latter is a unitary subset of the former.) The 'system console' is, by definition, on all PDP-11's, a DL11-type serial interface at 777560. However, it may have many 'terminals'! :-) >> For 777560/60 (standard for the console), you want A7/A3 and V4/V5 'in'. > I think you mean 60/64, right? Sort of (unless you mean 'instead of 777560/60, you meant 60/64, right?'). 777560 is the base address, 60 is the base vector. The receiver registers are 777560-2, and the transmitter are 777564-6, but on the DL11, one can only set the base of the entire group of 4 registers, one can't move the transmit and receive around independently. Similarly for the vector, one can only set the base; the receive (B) and transmit (B+4) are paired in the hardware. Hence, "777560/60". Noel

(And BTW the baud's not jumpers, it's the dials.) > I understand the other jumpers on the card, but the address and vector > jumpers confuse me. Join the crew... :-) The simple rule on the DL11 is that vector jumpers are the inverse of address jumpers: for the vector, jumpers are 'in' for '1', and for the address, they are 'in' for '0'. > I think for use as a simple serial terminal interface I need to jumper > "in" *A9, A7, A5, A4, A3* ... correct? Vector jumpers *V6, V7 "*in" . You mean for the console, right? (All DL11's are 'simple serial terminal interfaces' ;-). The jumpers you give are for DL11 #1, address 776500, vector 300. For 777560/60 (standard for the console), you want A7/A3 and V4/V5 'in'. Noel

Adapting digital RGBI monitor to accept analog RGB

by echristopherson＠gmail.com

I am in possession of two Magnavox (North American Philips) CM8562 monitors. Out of the box they handle composite and digital RGBI (CGA) input. What I'd like to do is get one to handle analog RGB (like arcade boards, Amiga, Atari ST, and Apple IIGS put out). I wouldn't think this was possible, but I seem to have a certain memory that I saw mention of doing just that *somewhere* on the web a few years ago, even though I can't find that mention now. According to the rather unwieldy chart at http://gona.mactar.hu/Commodore/monitor/Commodore_monitors_by_model_number.… , the service manual and schematic for the Commodore-branded 1084 and 1084S-P is "also good for Magnavox ... CM8562". I assume this means the monitors are basically the same underneath. Both of those Commodore monitors support analog RGB. However, when I look at the service manuals provided for those, they specifically state in several places that parts of the manual referring to analog RGB do not apply to the CM8562. Also, according to http://www.retrocomputing.net/parts/commodore/1084S-P1/docs/1084p/readme.txt , there are two chassis designations, which both confusingly include the string "CM8562": CM8505/CM8562/CM8705/CM8762, 8CM505/8CM515/8CM542/8CM643 on the one hand; and 8CM542/CM8562/CM8762 on the other. The latter is noted as only accepting digital RGBI. Physically, both monitors I have have an 8-pin DIN input for the digital RGBI, and a circular area with the legend "lin RGB" underneath. One one monitor, that circular area is perforated; on the other one, it's just a circle but with no indication that it can be easily knocked out. I have not yet opened either one. So... does anyone know if these monitors can in fact be made to accept analog RGB? Or have a way I could tell after opening them up? And, of course, I'd like instructions on just how to do it, if it is possible. -- Eric Christopherson

2 X 13" green screen monitors available

by elson＠pico-systems.com

I have two brand-new 13" green screen monitors available. We got them at work from a surplus source a LONG time ago, I think to replace failing monitors in Graph-on 140 terminals. These are Motorola DS4003-500 units, with AC power supply for either 120 or 240 V operation. They take a card-edge connector for video and sync. (I think they are RS-170 for composite sync, but I'm not completely sure.) I used a scope to pick up the horizontal frequency, it was 53.6 us or ~ 16.5 KHz. I did power one of them up, and it gave a green raster when the brightness was turned up. Anybody interested? Jon

Unfortunately for me my unit does not seem to be the same as the one in the manual. The section on connecting to BT lines is probably still valid since it does have a Rockwell modem board in it. I did find an old Computerworld ad from 1989 which matched. Informer 213 - emulating a 3274 control unit with an attached 3178 mod 2 terminal. Someone with IBM knowledge might share what that means and how the terminal can be used. Anyway.

MULTOS/8 progress, and a question...

by JoshD＠LivingComputerMuseum.org

Hi all -- Having overcome my earlier issues with SIMH, I now have MULTOS/8 happily running on the real hardware, with two terminals. (Yay!). I'd like to get the system up to four terminals and here's where I'm running into trouble. I've modified PARAM.PG appropriately (set JOBS to 4, TERMS to 4, and filled in the device codes for the extra terminals). I've rebuilt JOBS.BN and MULTOS, ran BUILD and inserted J1 through J4 and everything runs and the system comes up with 4 terminals (yay!). What isn't working properly are the job devices J1 through J4 -- each of these provides each terminal/user his/her own "virtual" drive on the system's RK05 pack -- effectively it partitions the RK05 into four smaller drives, J1: through J4:. With the two user setup, J1: and J2: are approximately 3000 blocks in size (so each basically gets one side of the RK05 pack). With the four-user setup, I'd expect J1:, J2:, J3: and J4: to each be about 1500 blocks, but they're still reporting as 3000 blocks each. What's more, the actual starting offsets of J1: through J4: appear to be what I'd expect (that is, J1 starts at 0, J2 starts at ~1500, J3 starts at ~3000, etc.). So if I start filling these drives, eventually they clobber each other. The only manual I've found (http://www.pdp8.net/os/multos8/) suggests that these should be appropriately sized (see section 2.1.1) automagically, but this does not seem to be the case; doing a ZERO on them creates a filesystem 3000 blocks in length. I'm digging through the source code to look for clues, but I haven't found anything yet. Anyone fooled with this before? Thanks, Josh

Accessing a TK50 or TK70 from RT

by rodsmallwood52＠btinternet.com

Hi I have had some success in fixing a couple of TK tape drives. They now load and unload every time you press the button. SFSG now to talk to them from RT. Using the diagnostics on the format (RX50) disk the Identify function shows the drive and by inference its controller. However its calls it MUX. I seem to remember under RT you needed to do a SET or ASSIGN to link it to the driver. Anybody know the correct syntax so I can init the tape and start to read and write files to and from it. Rod

WTB: Data General 6030 floppy drive

by nf6x＠nf6x.net

What are the chances? Slim, but I'll ask anyway. Now that I'm giving my Nova 3/12 some more attention and beginning to debug its 6045 hard drive, I'm interested in dolling up the system some more, and replacing filler panels with things that emit noise and heat. My manuals say that I can mix 6030 floppy drives on the same bus with the 6045 hard drives, so I'd like to add one to my rack. So, does anybody have a 6030 floppy drive for swap or sale? I'm in southern California, which can be a relevant detail when talking about transporting vintage gear. While I'm at it, additional removable packs for my 6045 drive would be helpful, too. Especially if there's anything interesting on them. -- Mark J. Blair, NF6X <nf6x at nf6x.net> http://www.nf6x.net/

Data General Nova object formats

by nf6x＠nf6x.net

I have been able to use my Data General Nova 3's Program Load function to load in the 091-000036-01 self-loading bootstrap program, and then use that bootstrap to load in absolute binary tape images from *.ab files, all over the TTI channel from a terminal emulator. Now, I'm trying to hack Toby Thain's Nova assembler to emit auto-loading images by prepending the self-loading bootstrap to the assembled program, with a binary patch to make the bootstrap jump straight into the absolute binary loader rather than halting at address 000121. It seems to me that I should be able to use this scheme to assemble programs which I can then Program Load through the TTI channel, and simply send the image over the serial port from a terminal emulator. I have the assembler hacked up to prepend the patched loader, and the patch I made seems to cause the bootstrap to jump right into the absolute binary loader; I simply replaced the HALT that ended up in 000120 with a JMP 000121. However, the binary loader continues running after presumably digesting the data that followed the bootstrap. Toby's assembler outputs "relocatable binary" code in .rb files, and I don't understand if/how that differs from the "absolute binary" format in the .ab tape images that I can successfully load. I'll continue researching, but I'd appreciate it if anybody might be able to provide any clues to dispel my confusion. Regarding my hacked up assembler, I don't know whether it's advisable to post it publicly after getting it working, since it'll have original DGC binary code embedded in it. Opinions? -- Mark J.

Data General Nova 3 and 6045 Drive Questions

by nf6x＠nf6x.net

My Nova 3/12 system has a 6045 cartridge hard drive, with one fixed platter, one removable platter, and a capacity of 10M. I haven't managed to boot my computer from it yet, and after a long pause, my Nova 3 is requesting another time slice of my attention. I can see in the drive's technical manual where I can specify surface 0-3 in the commands. I assume that the built-in bootstrap loader in the Nova 3 reads drive 0, cylinder 0, surface 0, sector 0, and places it at memory location 0, simply by virtue of all of the registers having been reset after an initial power-up and spin-up. The bootstrap loader code I've seen looks like it just issues a read command without initializing the memory address register and disc address/sector count register. I don't fully grok that code yet, so maybe I'm mistaken. I have not found mention yet of which surface numbers correspond to the fixed platter and which correspond to the removable one. Is the removable platter selected as surfaces 0 and 1, such that the system would normally boot from the removable platter? Or would it normally boot from the fixed platter, with the removable platter being used to get data on and off the system? Incidentally, I wonder if anybody has any original printed technical documentation relevant to my Nova 3 system which they might like to sell. I'm working off PDFs right now, and I'd like clean original paper copies for easier perusal and reference. I'm also interested in replacing the filler panels in my Nova's rack with other interesting peripherals. Maybe a floppy drive? My 6045 is supposed to be able to be mixable with 6030 drives on the same bus, according to the 6045 manual. If anybody has some excess Nova hardware that might fit into my system, please let me know. -- Mark J. Blair, NF6X <nf6x at nf6x.net> http://www.nf6x.net/

LASM compatible cross assembler?

by fozztexx＠fozztexx.com

After getting my TRS-80 Model II keyboard repaired and up & running last week (http://www.insentricity.com/a.cl/257), I've been messing around with the Kermit source code to see if I can add hardware flow control support. I'm able to build Kermit using LASM on CP/M or on an emulator, but it would be nice to be able to setup a Makefile so I can do the build directly on Linux. Is there a LASM compatible assembler out there with source available that I can run on Linux? I've tried a whole lot of different ones that are capable of doing 8080 & Z80 assembly, but not one understands the syntax of LASM (or I'm just not running them with the right flags). I've tried so far: z80asm - http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/z80asm as - http://john.ccac.rwth-aachen.de:8000/as/index.html kio's zasm - http://k1.spdns.de/Develop/Projects/zasm/Distributions/ zasm - http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_zasm/ z80-asm - http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/achim/z80-asm.html z80pack - http://www.autometer.de/unix4fun/z80pack/ Alternately, is the source code for Ward Christensen's LASM available anywhere? The best I could find was a note from a Kermit developer from 27 years ago asking for the source. I suppose I could use a disassembler, but then I don't have proper labels or comments. -- Follow me on twitter: @FozzTexx Check out my blog: http://insentricity.com

UNIBUS extension card/cable sets

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

So I previously: http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2015-June/006953.html wrote: >> I see 'three' different kinds of 'UNIBUS to cables' cards listed: >> M9014 UNIBUS to 3 H854s >> M9015 3 H854s to UNIBUS >> M9031 UNIBUS to 3 3M cables for 11/74 >> M9042 UNIBUS to 3 H854, Dual > So I have compared an M9014 and an M9042; the former is a 'normal' > height dual module, the latter is a 'short' dual module.

I have completed this pinout list, and it is now documented here: http://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIBUS_H854_header_pinout I have also verified that both the M9014 and M9042 use the exact same pinout. If _anyone_ has either an M9015, or an M9031, can they please let me know? I'd like to document exactly what they are. (I have this sneaky suspicion that the numbers were allocated, but the cards never built: for the UNIBUS, unlike the QBUS, you can use the same card on each end of a set of flat cables - that's because the UNIBUS dual connector does not have separate 'grant in' and 'grant out' pins, unlike the QBUS.) Since BC11A cables are now very hard to find, and the white flexible printed circuit flat cables (I think that's the correct jargon, can someone please correct me if I got that wrong) used in them is probably not obtainable now (outside a special order), I suspect we may soon be using pairs of these cards (they are very simple), along with a 3-set of 40-conductor (2x20 pin headers) in place of them. But that's for another day! Noel

EVOX RIFA X2 capacitors

by witchy＠binarydinosaurs.co.uk

Hi folks, Got a couple of Apple ][s that were rescued from a steelworks outbuilding and as usual they have ASTEC power supplies with .1uF and .01uf RIFA look-at-me-and-I'll-explode caps in and I'm running out of spares. What's the current considered replacement for these? There seems to be a wide range available with even wider ranging prices from EVOX, VISHAY, MATSUSHITA, PANASONIC (ok, matsushita again), Iskra, KEMET etc. Drowning in options, not just heavy rain :) -- Adrian/Witchy Binary Dinosaurs creator/curator Www.binarydinosaurs.co.uk - the UK's biggest private home computer collection?

Using 1MB M8750 cards in a PDP-11/70

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

So there was some prior discussion on the list about using the later 1MB M8750 cards (used in the VAX-11/750, /730, etc) in the MK11 memory of a PDP-11/70: http://www.classiccmp.org/pipermail/cctech/2015-March/003598.html However, that seems to require some kludgery in the MK11 (sending 4 separate 'board select' signals to a single memory card, etc). I'm interested in using the 1MB M8750 cards because the smaller 256KB M8728 cards (which the MK11 _will_ take, although there's very little about that in extant DEC documentation) are now seemingly unobtainium. (Almost all the MK11 documentation that I have only talks about the 64K M7984. The only one that does mention the M8728 is the -11/70 Maintenance Service Guide, KA-K1170-MG-003, and it doesn't say much, just indicates that one just plugs them in, and the controller recognizes them. So I've been studying the prints to see how that all works - there are per-slot/board 'personality' lines the MK11 can read.) The thing is that M8728 cards use the exact same PCB as the M7850 - in fact, there are lots of 'M8728' cards listed online, because it says 'M8728' in the etch, but they are in fact M8750's (as shown on the handles)! So I had a brainwave: why not use M8750's, but jumper them to look like M8728's? I'd only be using 256KB of a 1M card, but I can live with that (I just bought a giant stack of M8750's for a fairly nominal amount). It would let me use the M8750's without having to do hardware mods to my MK11. So, has anyone here ever worked out how to use M8750 cards in the MK11 in this manner? It looks like all one has to do is i) figure out how to jumper the M8750 to look like an M8728 (there is no documentation on the M8728 extant, AFAICT), and ii) make sure that the A7 pin to the 64K RAM chips of the M8750 is driven consistently to either '1' or '0' (it looks like there's a jumper in the A7 drive line, and one could connect the appropriate post of that jumper to ground to do that). So, if someone has done this before, or, failing that, if anyone has M8728 documentation (although I can get the M8728 jumper etc info off an M8728 I have coming, if not), I would be extremely grateful! Thanks in advance (I hope :-)! Noel

Anyone have MULTOS/8 running on SimH?

by JoshD＠LivingComputerMuseum.org

I'm investigating getting MULTOS/8 running on the 8/e here at the museum and I thought I'd start by getting acquainted with it on SIMH. I've picked up the disk pack from Dave Gesswein's site here: https://www.pdp8online.com/pdp8cgi/os8_html?act=dir;fn=images/os8/multos8.r… and the manual here: http://www.pdp8.net/os/multos8/ MULTOS as currently configured on the RK05 image appears to be set up for two terminals and everything listed in BUILD looks to agree with respect to the SimH hardware configuration. I set up a password file per the instructions, and after I set the DATE, I do an: .R MULTOS And am greeted with: HELLO ! THIS IS THE MULTOS/8 MULTI-USER OS/8 TIMESHARING SYSTEM CREATED BY COMPUTER METHODS 7822 OAKLEDGE ROAD SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84121, USA PHONE 801-942-8000 PLEASE INPUT TIME IN 24-HOUR FORMAT (E.G. 0925 FOR 9:25 AM AND 1935 FOR 7:35 PM): 1601 THANK YOU ! THE SYSTEM IS NOW TIMESHARING TYPE CONTROL/H TO LOG ON. At this point, the system becomes unresponsive; CTRL-H appears to have no effect. AC and MQ seem to be incrementing over time as the docs describe. I've poked around and in PARAM.PG, the address of TTY #2 is set to 32 (VT78?), rather than the 40 I'd expect. I changed this and reassembled the JOBS device handler, and then used BUILD to rebuild the system using it. I'm still getting the same behavior, however... I have a bit of experience with OS/8 (but I'm not an expert) and nearly zero experience with MULTOS, so before I start debugging in SimH I thought I'd check to see that I'm not doing anything intensely stupid here... Thanks! Josh

Informer 213 terminal

by mattislind＠gmail.com

I just dig out this little thing form my father stash of various stuff. Had to replace the input filter module since there were a small cloud when powering it up. It also left fair amount of thick smelly tar in the machine. But the exact replacement were still to be found some 30 years later. The little thing is driven by a 68B09 processor, some ROM and RAM and a big NEC ship marked "Informer". Maybe a custom ASIC. The screen is a Lohja / Finlux 512x256 EL display. When bringing up the setup screen it does not look like the one in the m <https://www.jefftk.com/informer-213-ae-manual.pdf>anual. It looks more IBMish. http://i.imgur.com/7EX5uTz.jpg It says 374/SNA - Rev 2.1 Does anyone have a more non-IBMish firmware set (or is there some other way to make it more VT100)? A 27256 and a 2764 goes into the terminal. There is a Youtube video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvPR8UypXNw , on a Informer 213 but the firmware seems to be different (at around 1:31). /Mattis

TI Professional Computer (TIPC) Service Manual?

by martin＠shackspace.de

I wanted to reactivate a TI Professional Computer (TIPC) and all I get some seconds after powering it on is the message "** system error ** 0004" and a beep, lasting for about 2 seconds. The TIPC is an early, not really compatible clone of the IBM PC 5150. I wonder if I need to do some reengineering and/or disassembling or if there is a service manual out there. greetings, Martin -- Martin Peters martin at shackspace.de

Looking for D#CM@TE II Mainboard

by pdaguytom＠gmail.com

Okay so I'm trying again, as the Classiccmp software is not letting my post through with the correct name of the subject computer included in the post (I've tried thrice). My D#CM at TE II has begun behaving very strangely. The computers began to develop keyboard issues a few weeks ago, which resolved to be some or all of a set of small filtering caps (which on my board, looked just like picofuses) that sit on the lines for the keyboard/video port failing. Replaced those with 470pf caps (after I incorrectly identified and installed picofuses the 1st time), the computer now recognizes the keyboard, but now fails 9 out of 10 times to go through a proper boot sequence, generating a randomly garbled version of the test screen patterns and then sometimes attempting to boot the floppy (but fails). Anyway, if anyone has a mainboard left over from a Spare Time Gizmos project and would like to get sell it, I'd be interested. Thanks, Tom

IO Selectric

by dave.g4ugm＠gmail.com

Folks I have today collect a recent E-Bay purchase. It appears to be an IO Selectric that has been left in a garage for a long period of time and is very gummed up. It will turn over with the manual handle, and it appears to try and type, but the carriage does not advance. All the tapes and chords appear to be in place. I have put some pictures here:- https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=277A0739F125010E!119461&authkey=!AGfgR GXKAjqDm7E&ithint=folder%2cJPG sorry for the long link. Does anyone have any suggestions as to which manuals are appropriate, and which documentation was followed to allow it to be used as a printer? Dave Wade G4UGM

Using the simh LGP-30 emulator

by oscar.vermeulen＠hotmail.com

Some time ago, there were two posts asking how to operate the simh LGP-30 emulator. It is not exactly obvious from the rudimentary manual, and it seems nobody had figured it out completely. I am slightly obsessed with this machine at the moment (it happens), so here is a how-to on operating the emulator and running the tape library of Christian Corti on it - in the hope it's of use to others looking for clues: http://obsolescenceguaranteed.blogspot.ch/2016/06/using-simh-lgp-30-emulato… Corti's LGP-30 emulator, by the way, gives a much better feel for the machine. But simh source is available, which I needed because I'm making a replica hardware front panel for the machine. Regards, Oscar.

VAX-11/780 Board Set on eBait

by jnc＠mercury.lcs.mit.edu

> From: Devin Davison > It looked like a good batch of boards and i was holding out on finding > a machine. I hope that "a machine" wasn't 'an empty machine to plug them into' - because AFAICT the chances are that happening are basically zero. (People seem to save either i) complete machines, or ii) just the boards - apparently not realizing that without the backplane, etc, the boards are only useful as spares.) > Any good place to get a 11/780 aside from watching the local scrap > centers with my fingers crossed one will be there? For some reasons, /780's seem to be pretty rare. I suspect it's a case of 'they were mostly all scrapped long ago in favour of later models which were faster and smaller' (we see the same thing in other lines). Don't get me wrong, I truly do fervently hope that you do find one somehow, but one has to be realistic, I think. (I'd love to have an RF11, but I'm pretty sure they almost all went to the big scrap-heap in the sky many moons ago; so I'm not holding on, waiting for one to appear - rather, I'm getting on with the stuff that _is_ still here.)

FS: (PURGE) all sorts of classic computer parts, computers, networking, ink/toner, etc

by rescue＠hawkmountain.net

Hi everyone, I am looking to clean out some of my stuff. I'm 'buried' in it. This is just the begnning.... so if you are looking for anything in particular; PC, Mac, Sun, SGI, misc, feel free to inquire. If you want to get heard above the noise when replying (spam sucks), add PURGE into the subject line.... that will help me find responses or inquiries fast. So, here is the first batch of stuff, organized by drives, misc, kvm, wireless, PC, laptop, Sun, SGI, Apple, Digital (DEC), Cisco, and finaly toner and ink cartridges. Obviously there are so many items here, it would take time to price all this stuff. So I'm open to reasonable offers. I'm not trying to make it rich, I'm looking for a reasonable amount so that you get a decent deal, and I get this stuff move on out. Eventually if it doesn't move it will go into storage, recylced, or dumpstered. I've got to get some space back. There are lots of parts here, but also some completed (or mostly complete) Macs, PC, Sun, SGI, etc. I have some older PC laptops to list, and I'll have more Mac, Sun, SGI, and more to list as time goes on. But I have to start somewhere.... so here is the list....
