Folks,
Trying my luck again. Looking for an external floppy drive for a Tandy 1000
EX XT clone.. They can be recognised by their white case and 30-pin female
card edge connector cable.
Please let me know if you have or know of one. Been looking for many years.
Thanks, Bill

Hi, list,
I've lurked here a bit but haven't posted much yet. I'm now working on a
system that I think people here might know something about.
Can anyone here tell me whether the CPU modules from an AlphaServer ES45
will work in an AlphaServer DS25?
According to Wikipedia, they're both EV68CB CPUs. Some sites (including
HP's QuickSpecs) list the 1.25 GHz ES45 CPU card as containing 16 megs of
cache, but some places list the 1.25 GHz card with just 8 megs, like the 1
GHz card.
If I could find a 1.25 GHz CPU card with 16 megs of cache, and if it'd
work, I think it'd be a worthwhile upgrade to my DS25.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
John

hi
so, in a description of DEC terminals, I read "VT240 and VT241 are
graphics terminals, supporting Digital?s ReGIS graphics and Tektronix
vector graphics"
what does it mean? which kind of graphics? Can they draw lines?
I am googling for "Digital?s ReGIS graphics" and "Tektronix vector
graphics", but I have only found dead links =(

The terminals were text based, until a certain escape sequence was sent.
Then it would interpret everything as a tek command. Different escape
sequences went into regis mode which were similar, but more powerful. These
were done mostly to draw plots or other graphs at the time. I believe Regis
added bitnaps to the vector graphics (which just means drawing line by only
specifying their end points and other details).

The most common serial comms line graphics protocol evolved from the Tektronix 401x
storage scope displays, sometimes refered to as the "GS" protocol for
the escape sequence it used.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tektronix_4010
There are tons of manuals on bitsavers about them.
Just about everyone in the graphics terminal business had to support Tek
protocol, including the company I worked for (AED).
