Re: Retro Chip Tester Pro, US shopping basket?

I ordered many of the parts from mouser.   I also just checked the cart and some parts are now on backorder with long lead times, but may be replaceable.   I may have skipped some parts if I had them in stock, so you would want to compare the cart against the BOM, and also I may have ordered mo

Question about SIMH Sigma-7/9 emulation

Hi all, I see that SIMH incorporates the 32-bit Xerox Sigma architectures.  The Sigma 8/9/5x0 architectures are commented out but compile fine  Does anyone know if those later architectures have known issues? Has anyone succeeded in running CP-V on those emulations?  It would be amazing to run C

Terminals wiki

Does anyone have a mirror of the terminals wiki at https://terminals-wiki.org?  It seems to have gone dark over a year ago, and it would be a shame to lose the resource.  If there is no mirror, does anyone know of a way to contact the owner/maintainer?  I'd like to see if there's anything I ca

terminals-wiki?

The terminals wiki (https://terminals-wiki.org) seems to have been down for several months.  I hope the maintainer is OK. Does anyone know if this site is gone for good?   Is there a mirror anywhere?  The wayback machine has a few pages, but mostly serves to capture the look&feel. Dave

Looking for Hazeltine 2000 keyboard

Hello, I just picked up a Hazeltine 2000c  terminal without the keyboard.  If anybody might happen to have (or know of) a spare Hazeltine 2000 keyboard, I would be very interested.  I realize it's a long shot. The keyboard is a standard ASCII keyboard, with several extra function keys and lights

Comp.lang.forth: banned on google groups?

I was looking for an old post on comp.lang.forth, and was surprised to discover that the group doesn't appear to be hosted on google groups any more.  Searching the group pulls up a "banned group" message, and selecting the "continue to the group" button shows 0 messages in the group.  This appe

Re: Byte Magazine

You may want to take a look at the byte collection at the internet archive: BYTE Magazine : Free Texts : Free Download, Borrow and Streaming : Internet Archive Comparing the first issue side-by-side, I think the Internet Archive version is a different scan.  It is better quality.  The letters h

Re: ISO 9816 small keyboard

Hi Al, What 9816 parts are required to run it?  Do you already have the 9816 and 9121 drive?  Also, is there a copy of CP/M-68K available somewhere for download? Dave On Monday, January 22, 2018, 1:13:08 PM CST, Al Kossow via cctalk wrote: I acquired a copy of CP/M-68K and am trying to

HP 9816 logging and skyline software -- any interest?

Hi Folks! I have documentation for some forestry software, that came with my HP9816 machines.  I am not sure, but I may have a tape or disk to go with it. It's called "MSAP", for Multispan Skyline Analysis Program, and appears to be a successor to the software documented in the following links: h

RTX-2000 processor PC/AT add-in card (any takers?)

I have a Harris RTX-2000 based system control board for a long defunct system.  The board worked when removed more than 20 years ago in the mid 90's.  The RTX-2000 is a stack-based processor designed for running FORTH.  I think it was designed by Phil Koopman based on his graduate work.  The boa

HP 2647A BASIC/AUTOPLOT47 and DEMO tape preservation

Hello, I have a couple of HP 2647A tapes:  BASCI/AUTOPLOT47 and DEMO.   They look to be in good condition.  I have had them in a climate controlled lab since acquiring them as part of a sizeable lot of HP tapes last year. I am curious if there are any known good copies of these tapes out there.
