Reposting due to the resounding lack of response and the
possibility that something went wrong with the list right
after I posted the original...
I can buy or trade but I would prefer to trade. I have a large
collection of S-100 cards and some other goodies to work a trade
with. If it has the CUTTER ROM, all the better. If not, I can
burn a 2708 (and I'll probably post a "Wanted: CUTTER ROM dump"
message).
Thanks,
Bill Sudbrink
PS... To engender some discussion, does anyone on the list have
an operating Processor Technology Subsystem B machine?

Bill, I don't think I ever saw a GPM card in my years of Sol collecting.
There might have been one on ebay once, but it is a vague memory. The
appear to be exceedingly rare, which is probably the bigger reason why
your inbox wasn't flooded with offers. ;-)
As I recall, the GPM card was situated in the same address block as the
NS disk controller, so you couldn't have both in a system without
relocating one or the other.
BTW, I thought the canonical GPM software was the ALS development firmware.

Honestly, I was hoping that there was a spare one rattling around
in the recently acquired Bob Stek collection and maybe the new owner
might consider trading for a full set of Cromemco or Compupro cards.

Based on my reading of the docs on Dave Dunfield's pages, it seems
like it should end up looking just like a Sol with Cutter at C000
and 1K of RAM at C800. ALS-8 (or anything else in the other EPROM
sockets if installed) does end up at higher addresses, but you can
PHANTOM it out. I have everything else for a Subsystem B (now
including a restored parallel ASCII keyboard attached to the 3P+S),
except the GPM. My goal is to display the operating Subsystem B
side-by-side with my Sol at VCF East this year, running the same
software.

I just discovered that the Computer History Museum has one:

I wonder if I could at least get a Cutter dump from them.

Bill,
Check with Bill Degnan, he has the Cutter Rom but I'm not sure if he has
it dumped into a hex file.
I'm planning to stop by his place next month and get a copy too :)
I have the Solos Rom which I still have to dump into a file.
I like to ask you more later about what S-100 cards you have.

The CUTER and SOLOS ROM images and sources are at
http://www.sol20.org/personality.html
Because the source is there, it would be simple to convert it for
whatever particular addresses and ports you might chose to use instead.

Jim,
I remember your website, but I overlooked that page.
I hope this year I can revive my Sol20.
Thanks for the reminder !
