I'm trying to use the Compaq/HP Extended Math Library (CXML) on a DEC
Alpha under AXP Openvms 8.4 - Hobbyist License.
Fortran 8.2 and CXML were part of the Hobbyist distribution I downloaded.
CXML complains that FORRTL is not present or the version is too low, (it

I'm sure Richard would appreciate these as well for the terminals w

There are three bipolar proms on the 2624 that you can see on the pcb picture
I still need to dump those, only one is socketed.
It looks like the keyboard is very similar in the 2624 with

Mostly that they are uncommon.
I suspect with the NiCd batteries that very few still work

I could imagine a talk/exhibit demonstrating vintage software.
The question that I have is how do we exhibit software (Hardware is challenging
enough)
A quick stab is on our website at https://museum.syssrc.com/category/software/
where online visitors can run some of the important 1980's softw

Great Todd. That is just what I'm looking for. It makes sense that it would
keep track. I have two different ftdi chips that I'm using so I can see how it
got messed up.

Emulators do great things, but they can't replace the visceral
experience of touching real old working hardware. Take the example
the sound of a modem making a 1200 bps connection, or the grinding
noise of a floppy drive zero-track seeking at bootup. Or how
inconvenient it is to shuffle floppy di
Hi Mike,
I teach science (all of ‘em!) and computing at a small, rural, K-12 school
in Montana (we graduated our Senior (sic) last year!) and we’re trying to
figure out how to get all of our mini proto geeks to the museum (and house
them) to both volunteer and exhibit some of our vintage systems
This has not been a good few months for historical/vintage computer people
