First, thanks much, interesting to add to my collection.
Second, the early letter from Mr. Thomas Software Coordinator, "Please
use a stick and a mallet to open this book". Died laughing. Way too
early to have that sort of sense of humor.

Aha ... I first saw the request and thought it was strange that a film
would be so specific but I guess the AS/400 they ran has attained some
notoriety of its own:

I got caught on this line of inquiry and found a neat article in FT that
also discusses a little bit the IT operations of BLMIS. They name check
Stratus as well as IBM ... it's too bad his character wasn't as good as his
taste in EDP equipment!

I received this email - they want am IBM AS/400 for a film - it
doesn't have to work. They will pay for transportation and rent. Near
Brooklyn NY I think.
And what will they pay for damage or destruction?
MARCH is working on this deal, since metro NYC is our backyard.
For anyone interested

I'd think a ridiculously high deposit alone with the contract
would ensure proper use.
Simply state if it is damaged in any way, they keep the computer
and you keep the deposit.
I've done similar in the past and always got things back.

I think it was someone on this list who told the story of some
antique furniture that was rented out with a ridicoulously high
deposit and got it back with bullet holes. Apparently the
deposit wasn't ridiculous enough with respect to the overall
budget of the film.

I hope the contract includes a very sizeable 'liquidated damages' clause

One thing I will absolutely not abide here is drama of any kind. Regardless
of anyone's sentiments in response to his post one way or the other, the
list is no place for that.

Hi all,
At the time I've released my DG NOVA in Verilog I was also working on a
PDP-1 in Verilog. Since I haven't
touched the thing for quite some time I've decided to just release it
before it catches dust. So far it can
execute all kinds of programs, limitation is that they may not use IO as

Hi,
If you were following Joerg Hoppe's recent PC05 auction on eBay, you might have
noticed that his system had an M705 in the backplane where I would have
expected an M7050. This is the way he received it and the restored unit works
as it should.
Clearly the cards are similar but different

I don't know how many of you were familiar with the

Basically small computers with floppy drives and a (very nice)

Hi Jay,
I don't know if you are into Motorola microcontrollers or not, but I'm looking
for an IP core for the MC68HC11K Microcontroller as I can't find the actual

VHDL? I'm trying to learn VHDL, but my many projects
