Hi,
Don't know if anyone is interested, but I'd guess that a lot of you like
me have collected a big pile of digital "stuff" over the years, and also if
like me, it may have gotten away from you a bit with a lot of duplication
etc.
Having some spare time, I've been organizing my collected documen

Hi all --
I picked up a Tri-Data Cartrifile 4096 at VCF West last year and since I'm
suddenly going to have more time on my hands, I thought it'd be fun to see

cartridges containing continuous-loop 1/4" tape in various length

I can peruse the list on my Teletype ASR-32(s).

Hi,
Not hardware ... but an antique software / programming concept.
Some decades ago (circa late 1970s?), I *think* I came across a concept of
"raising the semantic level" of a program by using defines/macros and newly
written library functions. The concept was that a given language provided

Hi friends,
Sorry for the long email that follows:
I am working with an old military PC model SAIC V2LC. The PC is a 486 and is
from around 1992 give or take a couple of years. Probably 1995 latest. The
computer has one 3.5" floppy and a removable IDE hard drive in a removable
carrier. It also
You'll look for pins on the board to instruct the drives which will be
reading and which will be writing. That is my guess.
Both need to work and have empty space. Probably the machine booted
