The difference between RQDX1 (M8639) and RQDX1 (M8639-YA) is just the
ROMs, which were field-upgraded, so check the ROM numbers not the
handle. Only the third version is -YA, which supports RD52. The first
version has problems with RX50s.
V.7.0 23-238E4 and 23-239E4
V.8.0 23-264E4 and 23-265E4
V.9.0 23-042E5 and 23-043E5
M8639-YB is not RQDX3, it's RQDX2. There were three versions of the
ROMs for this, and only the last two supported RD53. The difference
between M8639[-YA] and M8639-YB is a diode and some hackery in the top
left corner; this too could be done in the field so don't rely on the
handle number. The purpose was to eliminate the "must be last card in
backplane" problem.
V.9.4 23-172E5 and 23-173E5
V.10D 23-178E5 and 23-179E5
V.10E 23-188E5 and 23-189E5
The RQDX3 also had several versions of its "microcode", and the first
doesn't directly support RD3x (it has other problems too). The first
three or four have problems with anything bigger than an RD53.
??? 23-166E5 and 23-167E5
V.1.10 23-216E5 and 23-217E5
V.2.? 23-243E5 and 23-244E5
V.3.? 23-285E5 and 23-286E5
V.4 23-339E5 and 23-340E5 (RQDX3-F002 / EQ-01532-02)
I'm not sure if the 23-166E5 and 23-167E5 really exist; I have every
version of the RQDX3 ROMs except those, and the numbers may be a
typographic error (as implied in one of the FCOs). Or else they were
so bad they were replaced before or very quickly after the RQDX3
release.
I also have the RQDX1/2 ROMs versions 7, 8, 9.0, 9.4, 10E, but not 10D.

No, it was back to front and on the wrong side.

The one near me had the same policy. They would refuse them, and if they
were left when the place was closed, they would chuck the CPU in the
dumpster and sell whatever parts and software was left.
Alas, the place is now closed, so I can't dive there any more (the
building owner felt a Salvation Army store wasn't the right type of
"image" for the shopping district it was in... humm... I guess it stood
out to much against the gas station, car dealership, porn movie rental
place/subway sandwich shop (yes, both in one store... get your porn and a
snack at the same time), Hooters and swamp land. Go figure.

Ah, but could it (or even a 5.25" one) do single density?

Thanks :-) Well, I certainly don't need it, so if not claimed by
Monday night, it will be used to enrich the local environment (Tuesday
is bin day).

Hello Marc,
on my search through google i found a message from you saying
that you could put to work several tektronics XP419C X terminals. I
got one but i need the X server binary so i can download it to the
machine using tftp/nfs. Could you please point me to some location or
better, would you be kind enough to send me the .tar.gz of it?
Regards,
Nuno

As an alternative to DEC LPS, one other possibility I'm considering for
a perfect PostScript printer would be an original Apple LaserWriter.
But since I'm NULL in apples, I need some help.
1. Are all LaserWriters 100% pure PostScript printers, speaking nothing
but PS? I know the very original one was, but I'm not sure about whatever
happened later and whatever they make now.
2. Were there any LaserWriters made with duplex printing capability? If
so, what's the earliest duplex LaserWriter?
3. The original LaserWriter had a serial port. But given the assault on
serial ports coming from all directions, I don't expect the current ones
to have one, or do they? When was the last LaserWriter made with a serial
port? Was there ever a LaserWriter new enough to support duplex printing
but old enough to have a serial port?
4. Are LaserWriter serial ports standard EIA-232 DB25 or something Apple
proprietary? If the latter, what kind of adapter would I need to make?

Tom offered to send me a paper tape if I could read it. I asked on this list and
got a lot of offers to help... thanks to everyone who wanted to help!
Today I got email from Tom again. He moved several years ago, and just went
to look for the tapes. The box labeled TINY BASIC had paper tapes, but not
for Tiny. He's optimistic that he might still have the original tapes somewhere
and he plans on looking for them. The only version he found so far has been
for the 1802.
In the mean time, if anyone on the list has any version of Tom's TB, he might
appreciate getting copies, even if it's just the binaries. I'm desperately seeking
the 6502 version, so hopefully someone can get a copy to Tom.
He must have sold quite a few copies, considering they were originally $5 each
($5 for software? Amazing!). Hopefully someone has some old copies laying
around.
Bob
