Great point. Does a VT100 have a pass-through serial port? Maybe the
development machine was connected to a pass through serial port on a terminal
and then sent command to the DEC-20 to send the files. So there would have been

That part's a puzzler. Perhaps the link was from th
One more interesting tidbit. On startup, the program sends ETX,ETX,"PJ",0dh to
the serial channel. Does this seem DEC-like? I'm wondering if the development
machine was connected to a pass-through serial port on a terminal (VT-100??)
which sat on the DECSYSTEM-20.

Excellent! That’s a great piece of info. Not sure why a TOPS-10 command would
be embedded in a program like this. The notion of filtering/delay itself makes
sense but that command would make sense only if IBM had a DECSYSYEM too, no?

As some people here are aware, I have spent probably too much time this summer
hacking on J. David Bryan's excellent Classic HP 3000 simulator and trying to
build up the ultimate classic 1980s HP 3000 system (virtually speaking).

I’ve done a quite a bit of work with my Seattle Gazelle, and I
just did some work on 86DOS.SYS (not released in source form, as far as I know)
and its comparison to PC DOS 1.0 (at the code level, a very high correlation as
you can imagine). Partially related to that is
Hi all,
Since I don't have a machine with qbus and I need to backup some vms and
ultrix tk50 tapes, I purchased a tk50z-ga from ebay.
Upon power up, the red led flashing rapidly(which means drive fault) then
goes to solid red.
I've never used TK50 drives in the past so if you have any hint how to
