Is anybody here familar with this stuff? I picked up a HP disk drive with the ChemStation software installed and I'd like to know more about exactly what kind of computer it was SUPPOSED to be used with. I searched the net and one site mentioned that it used a HP 9000 300 but that's all I've been able to find out. I got the Sw working on a HP 9000 217 but I'm having some problems with the display. Oddly enough, the SW won't run on my HP 9000 320 or 380!

After reading the original email more carefully I now see that I
misconstrued the original message.
Must be Norfolk in GB.
Also realized that my subject line might be misinterpreted, as some bad
person in Norfolk.
Sorry :)

But no reserve on this one. It looks like he wants to sell it.

Did you see the auction? As you say, it never made it to the online catalogue...
Also, the plotter I'm on about has definitely been saved now. He's possibly going to give it to his son's school, possible eBay it, or possibly sell it to one of you lot for ?pittance, provided you take it away (from Norfolk).
Personally, I don't need/want it, and have no means of transporting it anyway, but the offer is there for the taking.
I've decided to try to get my Dragon 64 running again.
I got it from Bob Rosen of Spectrum Projects. He
stripped all the socketed chips from it, however.
So I need to find a set of Dragon 64 ROMS, and
identify what chips go in U19 and U15.
I'm pretty sure that the one closest to the ROMS is
the 6809E, but not sure of what the other chip should
be.
What makes this more difficult is that this is not a
British Dragon. This is an American one made by Tano
Corporation.
I wish I had just offered him some money for the
original chips way back when...
I can buy a whole new Dragon for $35.00 + S/H, and if
I can't get a set of ROMS and the missing chip cheaper
than that.. I may just do that and keep this one as a
spare...
I wish I still had the Dragon disk controller also...
I know I can use a Tandy Controller, but I think I'll
need a different Disk Basic ROM for it. If anyone can
help with that, I'd be obliged...

P.S.: On the Apple II pricing discussion in a
different thread. I agree with Sellam re the pricing.
The buyer could easily resell the items he didn't want
on eBay and get the prices that Sellam quoted.
And who knows if those IIGS's contain RAM boards or
even Super SCSI cards that would be work $15.00 for
the RAM card, and $40 and up for the SCSI cards.

I've got one too - but I didn't get a system tape or a blank tape with it. If anyone wants to part with a System tape and a few blanks, well, my email address is philpem {at} dsl {dot} pipex {dot} com.

Yep - opened my QDD up - BSR's logo is on the tape mech.

And it never got tangled up? Amazing...
Later.

I have an old DEC cartridge that I scrounged somewhere that looks like this.
It's some sort of disk media in a removable form I think.
It's yours if it's the right one.

I'm looking for the following software for a client:
Microsoft LAN Manager 2.1 for OS/2
IBM LAN Server 2.0 for OS/2
"Message Port" by Nuko Information Systems
"WinPort" by LANSource Technologies, 1.0 version
The common thread is that all featured serial port sharing technology over
a LAN. If you have these or know of any other software that had this
feature (excluding Artisoft's Articom or LANtastic) then please contact
me.
I always share the profits with those who help me out!
