Try pressing the shift key. That may fix it.

Check to see if the 386 has serial ports built in, maybe they need to be
disabled?

Hey Bob,
Tell us about the nifty operating General Automation minicomputers
you have there! That will make Sellam not mind the upper case so
much :-)

Haha. I'm the one trying to make John Allain understand that Bob is
actually typing from something like a Model 28 (i.e. a no lowercase
device). Yes, I've been to Bob's ham shack ;) He gave me a couple nice
GA systems a few years ago.
P.S. Respond to my e-mails about my trip to L.A. this weekend :)

Sorry, I keep confusing GA with CA (Computer Automation). I got a couple
Naked Minis from him. Would love to find some GA's. I did get a pretty
complete Microdata system a couple months back, which I understand you
also dealed in?

I was a GA dealer for years, knew them quite well. Alas, all I still have is
a 1750 and a 2820. I passed up a 7820 years ago (like an idiot).
What kinda GA Zebra's do you have?

Yup, we were dealers for most of the early pick mini's. So what
kind of
microdata do you have? Reality? Sequel? Series-18? And what model!?
I was EXTREMELY blessed not too long ago with a Microdata M2000, 1/2 tape,
reflex drive, and a truckfull of docs & tapes :> After I restore the 11/45,
I'll start either the M2000 or a DG/Eclipse S/130. Then an 11/34, and I'll
pretty much be done with all the systems I wanted. Unless someone tosses me
an IBM 360 :>

I have no idea. A nice man who contacted me a couple years ago said come
and get it. I never had the time to do so. The nice man loaded it in a
trailer and brought it to me. It went to the back of my warehouse and
proceeded to get promptly buried, to be uncovered again someday and
marvelled at anew. I believe it might've arrived with some manuals. At
any rate, I do have some Microdata docs in my archive.
I've have lots of interesting minis and other oddities (IBM 3741, IBM 557)

what kind of

more coming this
weekend. I'm already booking the time I may someday have in
"retirement"
;)
