I'm trying to find a Z80 disassembler for Linux. There are a bunch of
DOS ones out there, doesn't do me any good. A long time ago I had
downloaded one that was source and compiled it, but I can't remember
what it was. Anybody know of one?

I've been contacted by a credit union in southern California that has a
Honeywell DPS-6 among some other stuff.
The list includes:
Honeywell DPS-6
Spectralogic ST865 tape drive
Honeywell-Bull tape drive (in a large cabinet)
Something with model number B01730 (the only information I have on this)
AlphaServer 2100 (225Mhz, .5GB RAM, (5) RZ28 HD, (6) VT320, TSZ70)
Very large UPS (two racks, lots of batteries)
The location is City of Commerce, California (south Los Angeles).
The Honeywell DPS-6 is the coolest member of this lot. I would not mind
having it but for a couple issues, primarily my lack of time for
embarking on a long-distance haul and my desire to rid myself of large
things at this point as opposed to acquiring them. And I already have
one, though it's in rough shape.
I'm going to give the Computer History Museum first dibs on the DPS-6.
The rest of the stuff is up for grabs. The company just wants it hauled
off and they need it gone within a month or so.
In case the CHM does not want the DPS-6 but you do, let me know. GCOS
(the OS for the DPS-6) was inspired by Multics. Some information here:
http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/foldoc/foldoc.cgi?GCOS
...and here:
http://perso.club-internet.fr/febcm/english/gcos_6_products.htm
So it could be a fun machine to hack on if you have the room.

I quick perusal of Microsoft's Web site reveals that this service is
installed as part of Internet Information Server and/or Index Server. It is
very Web-oriented, meaning that an HTML "search" page would programmatically
query the index and produce a result. Index Server (a separate product) has
built-in querying.
I don't know if the IIS Indexing service can index anything other
than what's directly under wwwroot (the main Web site parent directory). I
looked at the man pages for swish-e and it will index anything that is under
single parent directory (which could be ".\users"). There doesn't appear to
be any way to index two independent trees, though.

Win2K (and I think NT4) has a document indexing service. For Win2K,
goto Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Computer
Management->Services And Applications->Indexing Service (I think there's
a quicker way to get there, but I use that so infrequently I don't
remember).
You can configure what documents are indexed. You can index PDFs
with a free plugin from Adobe. I think most MS formats are supported by
default. You can specify how often documents are indexed, what
directories or drives, etc.
The problem is the query tool isn't as readily available or as
usable as I would like. But it does work, and it's a little known service.

I picked up some unusual (to me) documentation tonight, along with
an IMSAI and a Hayes S-100 modem that you can see at
www.decodesystems.com/imsai.html
The documentation includes:
An NEC manual (marked confidential) that is titled
"D22X7 Series 8-Inch Winchester Disk Drive Manual."
It has 8 chapters and two appendices, including
schematics.
Solos/Cuter User's Manual from Processor Technology dated 1977.
According to this manual, "SOLOS is a program designed to be a
personality module in a Sol. CUTER is a program designed to
provide much of the power of SOLOS for the non-Sol user."
Thinker Toys Draft User's Manual for "Disk Jockey 2D"
Microsoft BASIC-80 version 5.0 Reference Manual, including a
letter from Thinker Toys explaining why they have to include
a Non-Disclosure Agreement -- and the actual Non-Disclosure
Agreement for Microsoft Disk BASIC or FORTRAN.
Microsoft CP/M and ISIS-II BASIC Reference Book, copyright 1977
when Bill et al were in Albuquerque.
Also some floppies:
Two 8-inch disks, both from Morrow Designs Thinker Toys
and both copyrighted 1979. One is labeled "SOL 2D - Diskate
Version 2.0 - Mod B" and the other "Microsoft BASIC Version
5.0.3"
A sealed 5.25" floppy labeled "Milestone (c) 1981, Apple CP/M, Demo,
Revision 1.06"
More to come, including a Dynabyte machine that is still in the car.

Hello, all:
I'm looking for a search engine I can use on my network in the house. I
remember a long time ago (1998 or so), before the "browser wars" AltaVista
distributed a "personal AltaVista" that you could use on a personal computer
to allow for indexing/searching a local machine/network. This was at the
time that AltaVista was owned by Digital. I found a lot of announcements of
the product but no actual download points.
Does anyone have this or something else I can use internally? The server
runs Windows NT Server and I can install IIS.
Thanks.

Hi
No, mask ROM are not the same as PROMs that have fuses. These
only fail when a transistor fails. There are no fuses blown
in a mask ROM. There are wires that are there or not there

The EPROMs on my SIM-4 still have there original data ( 1702A's ).
I've made both EPROM and on disk copies. These are about '73 someplace.
Not to bad for part that were only suppose to hold for 10 years.
>

Emitting EPROM. Has anybody else ever wired one of these into a circuit?
(you do it by plugging the EPROM into the socket backwards)
They only emit light for a few minutes this way. But yes, there
is a nice orange low.
All ROMs can suffer from the effects of EM ( electro-migration ).
They can suffer from impurity ions as well. Copper and
sodium are real bad.

I found a copy of this the other day. It's a program that runs on a PC
and acts like the BASIC used on the HP 9000 series 200/300 computers. I got
the complete package including orignal disks, registartion, etc EXCEPT for
the dongle :-( It won't run without the dongle. Does anyone know how to
bypass the dongle check or does anyone have a working copy of HTBasic that
they can send me?

http://w1tp.com/
I sent the guy a message via eBay asking for more details. Nothing
so far. Like Brad I may try to take a look if I can get his address
and permission to stop by. How can he expect much interest if he does
not at least give some details on what's there.

I saw that done to the final remaining copy of a control system

something of an achievement.

Hi people!
I'm looking for two things (one or the other).
A Manual for an AERCO Easie-ST Ram upgrade Kit for the
Atari 520-ST.
OR
An upgrade kit to upgrade an Atari ST to 4mb of RAM.
I have an Aerco Adapter that isn't working, and I
think I need the manual to tech it out, AND to upgrade
it to 4mb of RAM.
I have a Spectre-128 for it, and I'd love to be able
to use this machine as a MacPlus for kicks.
But 512k isn't enough RAM to do anything useful.
Also.. Looking for a SCSI Adapter for the ST as well.

Hi
In one of the magazines I saw yesterday at the news stand
( forget the name but it is one of those general science
like magazines ). They showed a solid state enigma machine
that you can get. It basically was a keyboard, lights and
a uP on a PC board. I wonder if one can set the number
of wheels and the other features that the fancier machines had?

The main difference between the EVM and the EVB are that the EVB is essentially
just a single board computer - you can load code into it and run it, and you
can hook up things to the I/O ports via board connectors.
The EVM is much more powerful - it includes some in-circuit emulation capability.
It has a connector with adapters to fit into the MCU socket for a number of HC11
variants, and allows you to replace the target CPU with the board. The EVM also
has a ZIP socket with the ability to program the on-board EEPROM of some HC11
variants.
I have the MC68HC11EVM manual, but not in "electric" form - worse case I
could unbind it (it's only stapled) and scan it... But that would involve a
fair bit of time... so "try real hard" to find another source first - if you
don't come up with anything, contact me.

What in the Apple line of computers, etc. is worth keeping, i.e.

there any other "holy grail" type of items?
I have several Apple printers including the Imagewriter and Imagewriter

getting rid of them, or are they worth putting up on the Vintage

orginal Apple II and the "Black" Apple II+, and I would still like to
keep one each of the II line. The only Macs I am keeping are the

April 1, 2004
Associatid Press, Washington - The United States Federal
Communications Commission, as part of a joint project funded by the
Department of Defense, has approved measures to begin requiring US
consumers to obtain licenses for all new personal computers purchased
after January, 2005.
"It's basically the same process that CB radio owners had to go
through in the 1970's, only we require a slight ammount of additional
information.", said Lance O. Onie, director of the FCC's PC Freedom
Initiative.
Purchasers of new PCs will have to fill out a simple "one step" form,
with only the following information: The purchaser's Social Security
number, current address, e-mail address(es), date of birth, driver's
license number and the computer's CPU's unique serial number.
"By requiring the driver's license number, we are able to simplify
things by not requiring consumers to be inconvenienced by having their
photos taken for inclusion in our database; we can just get that data
>from the states in which they're licensed.", Onie was quick to point
out as a benifit of this simplified procedure.
The user will be able to access the CPU's serial number through the
use of a computer program distributed on a CD ROM with each new PC
sold. The program must remain installed on the computer whenever the
computer is used with the Internet.
Owners of older computers will be exempt from this new law until
December 25, 2006, "giving them plenty of time to upgrade their
systems as necessary in order to comply with the new law", says Onie,
who commented that this program will also be "very helpful to the
economy."
After that time, the FCC will work with the CIA, state and local law
enforcement officials to conduct random high-tech sweeps throughout
the country to check for the illegal possession and use of
unregistered computing equipment.
Fines and penalties were not specified, but sources say that illegal
possession will be considered to be a very serious offense, necessary
for the freedom, safety and well-being of all Americans.

Hi,
I gather the interface for Apple ProFile drives is just parallel - is
the actual protocol documented anywhere?
I'm tempted to have the /// on display at the museum, but am less keen
on having the ProFile units there - but emulating one with something
else (eg. PC host) might be a possibility if the protocol is simple
enough.
(I'd also quite like to get all the existing data off the ProFile
drives)

Should do, but I don't have a scanner. If all you want is the CPU diagrams
to go with the TechRef, then the PERQ 2T1 or 2T2 CPU schematics are the
same, and they're not too hard to find.
What I don't think anyone has is the T4 schematics, although you can

of stuff I have been hoarding. (My wife wants to move to a smaller
house.)
I have a number of items of DEC hardware and software from around
1980. I haven't done a complete inventory, but among the items
are:
2 Rainbow 100 personal computers both with hard disk
(5mB? 10mB?), extended memory and accessory "I-drive"
for reading IBM pc-format double sided diskettes.
1 Decmate II word-processor using PDP-8 architecture
in a form factor similar to the Rainbow.
1 Decmate word-processor. This is a the VT-100 type
terminal containing a PDP-8 processor, mounted on
a pedestal base which contains dual 8-inch floppy
drives and power supply. (The VT-100 type keyboard
has some missing key caps.)
3 VR-201 monitors (At least one is amber, the others
are green and possibly white phosphor CRTs.)
2 VR-241 RGB color monitors incl. BNC cables.
1 VT-240 serial terminal
3 LK-201 keyboards. Two of these have the "gold key"
word processing key caps.
1 Floor stand for Rainbow. Holds system unit in a
vertical position. Designed by DEC for proper
airflow.
1 LQP-02 wide letter-quality impact printer.
1 Diablo 620 daisy-wheel impact printer with selectable
serial or parallel interface.
2 LA-50 dot matrix printers.
2 DECpc 420sx personal computers.
Interconnecting cables for the monitors and printers, etc.
Many various "DEC certified" software packages.
3rd party software for things like graphic design,
calendaring, telecom, etc.
DEC handbooks, support documents, catalogs of DEC and
3rd party software, users group newsletters, early
FIDO bbs software and manuals, transcripts of online
discussions about DEC pc hardware, and more.
Several boxes of 8-inch diskettes for use in the
RX01 drives of the Decmate I. Color plastic storage
boxes for these diskettes. Also, DEC-formatted
5.25-inch diskettes for Rainbow and DECmate II.
Printer ribbons, extra daisy-wheels in many fonts,
some internal components such as OEM disk mounting
hardware and cables for the Rainbows, etc.
I am located in an inner suburb of Boston and would like to send all
this stuff to be adopted by a good home.
If interested, please email me at oldbear(a)arctos.com

In an effort to get a place to move around, I am starting to move stuff
out, and am putting stuff up regularly on the Vintage Computer
Marketplace.
One question: if anyone is interested in the older PC cards,
motherboards, full height floppy drives, some S-100 stuff, etc., etc.,
etc., is it better to sell it untested at a low price, or sell it
tested/working and raise the price?
Is there any interest in older databooks?
There are still some people I owe stuff to and as I run across it, I'll
get in touch via email. No, I am not getting out of collecting but I
*need* to get some space to work :)!!!
With the talk in the past about the serial numbers for older Macs. I have a
couple questions, that perhaps could be answered here, or point me in the
right direction.
A few years ago I picked up a old Plus to convert into an aquarium (I know,
I know; but it was a fun idea). I had never quite seem a Plus like this
before. It had a Sticker to denote it was a plus. It did not have printing
or a platic label. It was simply a sticker.
Now, Plus was stolen (why people stole it was beyond me), but I am still
curious of the history that Mac may have had.
I'd love to hear of any thoughts or such. I still have the keyboard and
mouse from it, but I trashed the dot-matrix years ago. It was also an apple
printer, but I was never able to id it. Wasn't and LQ or a first gen
imagewriter. Very wide but not descript. Thoughts on that?
Thanks for all.

Does 8512 work? If it does, I'm interested. I have an 8512 that appears toast.
I also have a working 8503, but it's monochrome.
I'm also still looking for an original IBM VGA card for ISA, which they call
(rather confusingly) IBM PS/2 Display Adapter.

P.S. John, your 8503 works, so you can cash my check.
Is anyone interested in IBM Type 8512 (14") or 8514 (17") VGA displays
(circa late 1980s, PS/2)?

I got my quadra800 with PPC card up on running on my lan and it gets net
access just fine. I did not use open transport and had to configure macTCP to work
with an Asante NIC rather than the onboard one since I didnt have the special
cable for it. With the Asante NIC, I have to run that to a 10megabit hub then
chain that into the 10/100 switch. Otherwise, it would never establish a
connection.
