Not all Northstar diskettes are HS. One of the models
(Advantage?)
isn't--and it's that format that the Microsolutions MatchPoint will
read, not the others. It's been too long since I've seen the darned
things...
I think the machine you are thinking of might be the N* Dimension. The Advantage
still uses 10-sector floppies.
I've never seen the Dimension but vintagemicros on Ebay was selling one a while
back and had a picture of it. Apparently it was MS-DOS compatible.

New subject: Help on finding photos of computers from the 80's
I received this email from Rachel after she found my web site. If there
is anyone who can help they should contact her directly.
Probably should be photos you took of your own systems and own the
rights to.

Bob,
Thanks for your speedy reply. I enjoyed checking out your site. I was
looking for pictures of old computers in general, so I forwarded some
pictures from your site to my boss. One was of the Heathkit. He
advised me that he would rather me find computers from the 80's. Do you
have any suggestions on where I could find pictures of that era of
computer? I haven't had much luck with stock photo websites.
Thanks again,
Rachel Morgan

Hello there,
I found your website looking for images of old computers for a TV
series I am working on. The show is called American Shopper and airs on
the Fine Living Network. I would love to use a couple of the images as
reference photos for a computer segment we are working on. Is there
someone specific I could talk to about the use of the photos? I know
for a fact that we could mention the website in the credits with a
special thank you. Please reply as soon as possible as we are putting
the segment together in the coming weeks. Even if we can't use the
photos, I would appreciate any helpful information you could give us.
Thanks!

Hi Bob
It isn't clear what she is looking for. Is she talking about
small home machines, minis or mainframes?

I believe she is looking for small machines, PC types etc. I offered to
photo my 5150 and early Compaq.

Hi Bob
I was looking at ebay and noticed they had
a 1170 ( 1174 ) for sale. The unit is in Morgan
Hill ( at least the seller is ). It seem to have
the same frame as the 1080.
It at least has some core in it but it may be only
18 bits and not 20.
I've considered buying it but I still haven't started
a paypal account.

New subject: ReNicolet 1080 system on ebay
Dwight's misdirected post sent me looking to see what sort of system(s)
were on ebay and besides one digital scope that looks interesting, the
following auction has a CDC CMD drive included.
Unfortunately it's in Quebec, a bit of a haul for me. Also I hate
tearing down an instrument like this one for just one part.
However thought I'd post the auction, which is 380165838475

Hi Jim
You had me going there for a few minutes. I thought
another 1080 had shown up. I think these systems used
a 1280. One of the last processors made by Nicolet.
The spectrometer would be quite useful for some small
lab some place that was doing chemical analysis.
I've not seen another 1080 on ebay since I bought mine.
They are really cool blinking light type machines=2C
For there time=2C they were the fastest way to do FFTs.
They even have a bit reverse instruction.
To my knowledge=2C there are only 5 others in existance.
Most have made it to the scrap pile. Sad for such a
neat machine. See some hisory of Nicolet at:

New subject: Help on finding photos of computers from the 80's
Hi Bob
There is an interesting Nicolet machine on ebay (250657820736).
I don't know if it has the array processor in it to do FFTs. It
does have a 1280 processor board.
I don't know if I'll bid on it. I was wondering what the best
way to ship it and about what it might cost?
Dwight
