Visual 1050 sys disks diff from Daves Old Computers

by d_cymbal＠hotmail.com

I have a set of the system disks available from Daves Old Computers - System / Install Disks. These are revision 1.1 of the 1050 BIOS for CP/M 3. Does anybody have a later BIOS revision they could share? I am looking for a version that had support for an external hard drive off the winchester port, e.g. the presence of the file WINCH.ASM on the BIOS source disk would indicate this. I know revision 1.3 had this support, not sure about other versions.

by vbriel＠yahoo.com

Pressure?surface on those go bad and usually starts with the edges. If you print the settings there is a box outline that prints on the settings page that will be shadowed or smudged.

HP 4100 printer, is this a bad toner cartridge or roller kit?

by brianlanning＠gmail.com

Hi everyone. I'm ready to do the last fix on the hp 4100. Looks like I fixed the mangled paper problem. I managed to pull a loose 1/8" thick 1" square piece of black plastic out of the printer. So the paper path is looks right now. The last problem is a print quality problem. The left 1/2" of the page prints strangely with some ghost images, from higher up the page or the last page, copied every few inches down the page. This sounds to me like the toner drum, but since I don't know exactly what the roller kit is for, I'm not sure if that's the problem. Is the toner not coming off of the drum and on to the page? Or is the drum supposed to be cleaned off with something between pages and it's not? Any ideas what's happening? brian

Ithaca Intersystems DPS-1 in Keene, NH (craigslist)

by wmaddox＠pacbell.net

http://nh.craigslist.org/ele/1314921855.html He says: "I would hate to throw it out but it is too heavy to ship anywhere at a reasonable price." Clearly, he's not hip to the eBay market for these things. It will probably go free/cheap. The DPS-1 is an S-100 machine with a very nice full front panel, similar to an IMSAI, but a bit more stylish. This webpage has a photo of someone else's DPS-1: http://www.computercloset.org/InterSystemsDPS-1.htm --Bill

Question for the Dutch collectors...

by hp-fix＠xs4all.nl

Jos, Did you try the cvml ? Ruud Baltissen has scanned a lot of Elektuurs and Radio Bulletins from that period , may you can find a reference there . -Rik -----Original Message----- From: "Jos Dreesen" <jdr_use at bluewin.ch> To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Sent: 08/11/2009 19:39 Subject: Question for the Dutch collectors... I remember quit well reading, around 1977, a booklet from around 1973, I believe by Kluwer, describing a DIY computer build around the Siemens/Philips FDxnnn series of TTL chips. Memory was a philips corestack-module, something like 1K or 2K x 12 or x16. Of course there was no way of me building that in 1977, but now.... Does this ring a bell with anyone ? Jos

Reading data from a CDC Hawk Drive

by altcompco＠gmail.com

I know that this reply is quite dated, but if you are still trying to use a hawk drive you might be interested in knowing that a 3rd party company used to manufacture an i/o board to it that allowed it to work with a TRS-80. fyi -- Using Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/
