Hi,
Unfortunately, my Meiko tapes are all in London. One of these days,
I'll go and get them either shipped or travel there and get the boxes.
I'll see if I can muster it up somewhere else in the meantime. Can you
send some pics?
Thanks,
Ram

Subject: Meiko Computing Surface software.
Hello,
I have two Meiko Computing Surface nodes I'm hoping to soon finally get
round to restoring. Removal of dust, cobwebs and rust is one thing, but
I
sadly don't have any software for them, e.g. 'MeikOS', CS Tools, link
adapter drivers etc.
One is a 1st generation CS with boards filled with transputers, a
host/monitor board, RAM card and gfx card. Also have a PC ISA link
adapter
and a connecting cable made from something akin to miniature flat twinax
(well the links did run at 10Mb/s).
The 2nd node is a later CS/i860 (aka Concerto), which again has
transputers but also as the name suggests i860 CPUs, and a module which
is
a Sparc 1+ front end processor. Sadly the HDD had died and so I couldn't
recover the SunOS 4 install along with the kernel bits for the link
adapters and any other platform software. Pretty sure the NVRAM has had
it
too but that is the least of my worries...
If anyone could help locating any Meiko software else just point me in
the right direction it would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Andrew
