I'm a little surprised to see a list administrator specifically calling
out a critical response to an original statement that seemed destined to
provoke one; and not including the original post and poster in the
admonishment. It may lead one to presume Jay sympathizes with the
original statement
Will 310 ROMs work in a 300? I believe 310, 400, 600, and 1000 ROMs are
posted in Seth's emulator project's git hub. If not, I can resend them.

I have several Tandy TRMs that apparently are not yet posted on-line. I
just scanned in the 4000 TRM and will upload it to the tvdog archive
today. Will take a few weeks to get the rest in. But in the meantime, if
there are any requests, I can reshuffle the order:

SIMH. I'm interested in building some new CIO

related information to 3b2archive.org. And other contributors and

Jim, I'll have a 16B at VCF-SE this weekend. You take as close a look as
you want. It has a single slim 8" drive, an internal 15MB hard disk, and

Being a long time Eagle user, I'll chime in too. Most responses from
KiCAD advocates miss the mark on the fundamental issue. Sure the
features are converging and I have no doubt KiCAD will catch-up. It has
already surpassed Eagle in many feature areas. But people who routinely

you still believe there is an outstanding IP credit issue, we will
resolve it. It is clearly NOT a derived work and does not warrant a
derived license.
Thanks Phil,

Not sure if you are aware, but FYI - Malcolm MacLeod with some

In the October'85 "UNIX System V Known Problems List", which is
basically a printing of filed bug reports against System V, it lists a
'DEC' version of these SVR releases:
SVR1.0V1 (5.0)(1.0) - Initial Release
SVR1.1V2 (5.0.5)(1.1) - Maintenance Release
SVR1.2V3 (1.2) - Maintenance Release
Seth,
'filledt' comes on every Essential Utilities Disk 1 along with the unix
kernel and OS install routines. Get a SVR3 3.0 Essential Utilities Disk
1 and run filledt from there. I just went through this last week.
