[cctalk] DEC VT340/330 ROM Cartridge
The DEC VT340 has a slot in the back of the terminal to insert a ROM cartridge. I can't find any description of what this DEC labeled ROM cartridge would do for you. I've seen them with V1.1 and V2.1 markings, does anyone remember what additional capabilities these ROM cartridge provide? Doug

I suspect that at least the Turbo BASIC and TASM manuals should be saved. The only Turbo BASIC that I ever saw in the 80’s is the copy that I bought. I’m not sure how useful the OpenVMS book is, but it is also somewhat uncommon. I recently got a copy with some other books that I bought.

I've had a quick look at the VT330 and VT340 printsets and I can't obviously spot any firmware ROMs on the main board schematics. So my first guess is that said cartridge is the terminal firmware. -tony

It does have a cartridge inserted into the slot, you may be exactly correct. Doug

I double that. Turbo Basic and TASM manuals should be saved, especially the Turbo BASIC one. If Zane doesn’t want it, I would pay for shipping Turbo BASIC to 98671 zip code in the US.

Having paid personally for a Borland C++ compiler in the Windows 95 days, I can confirm that the set of books can comfortably elevate a monitor by about 14" when used as a monitor stand.

[cctalk] cheap boards for 16/32 bit apps
Ifo you absolutely must run something old, yet don't want to deal with the complexities of modern emulation: https://www.ebay.com/itm/191322319264 - drivers, whatever is needed, likely to be included on floppy. Ask seller. Not sure what tbe form factor it is. Who cares, nail it to a board or the wall. https://www.ebay.com/itm/283869740055 - obviously a lot faster. 2nd cpu isn't necessary or necessarily beneficial, but it is mandatory (says me, don't be a plebe). Unlike the Intel S5000 series serverboards, this bad boy has a FLOPPY connector. Should boot dos. But I haven't owned 1 yet. Can't remember if I even tried to boot my s5000vsadimmr4 or whatever I had from a dos loaded boot cd. Just can't. But my board did boot Windows 2000. Not too shabby. No drivers or i/o plate with this though. Drivers for Win2k are on tne net. I even foumd a manual I think. Check with me if you have need. The Intel boards have support for Win2008. NOT this board afaik. If that matters to you. Serverboards of this gen/chipset have steemy hot ram. You can nail this to the wall also. But have a desk fan to keep it all cool.
