I got a Apple cube here as part of a larger haul, at some point someone placed a bit of tape on the clear polycarbonate case, the tape is long gone but the yellow glue remains. Am unsure about the hardness of it, if I could use sugar cubes to rub it off, anyone knows a scratch free way to get it off ? Regards -- Jacob Dahl Pind | telefisk.org | fidonet 2:230/38.8

HP 2000 TSB and FORTRAN

by nospam212-cctalk＠yahoo.com

Like many, I used an HP 2000 TSB system in high school to first learn about programming. Wanting to learn more than just BASIC, I soon discovered there was a program on the system that let you write and run FORTRAN programs. All these years later I can't remember anything more than that and haven't seen anything more on it since then until recently. While clearing out my storage space I came across an old binder with a photocopy of a manual. Looking though it I soon realized it was from my high school computer class and described the system for running FORTRAN. So now I have a name at least and a copy of a manual, but haven't yet found anything more and hope that someone here might be able to shine some light and supply more about it. The manual says it was known as OSMI 2000 FORTRAN and was a "series of programs written in the BASIC language which run short FORTRAN programs" on an HP 2000 BASIC system. Anyone heard of this before? Thanks. David Williams www.trailingedge.com

by sieler＠allegro.com

Last week, Ken Gielow passed away. He was the author of the Z80DIS disassembler, which was both interactive and used a form of "artificial intelligence" to cleverly disassemble Z80 code.

I-4004

by c.murray.mccullough＠gmail.com

Did the 4004 chip start our interest in microcomputing? It is 50 today. Classic computing begins earlier but for the masses, if they could be called that in the early seventies, this was it. I hesitate in calling it the first microprocessor as pc'ers will object. Happy computing all. Murray ?

Does anybody have documentation or know about the OKI IF800/300 a.k.a. Sumicom System 830

by pleasefixmybrick＠gmail.com

? It certainly didn't have market penetration in USA! I did once have, and implemented in XenoCopy, a sample disk from an Okidata if800 model 20, which seemed to be the same as a BMC if800 model 20 (if one more alternate name might help you find information). I hadn't heard the Sumicom badging. ? I also had a disk for Oki (don't know if same model) with the Microsoft Stand-Alone BASIC, instead of CP/M. ? Unfortunately, the model 20 was a different architecture all together. I have begun looking into Japanese museums. Maybe there is more documentation and data in its country of origin.

Old Xerox stuff? 820, 860

by Anders.Gustafsson＠pedago.fi

We were cleaning the basement yesterday and I came across some Xerox stuff from the 1980's. For the 860 there are program listings and disk format documentation. For the 820 I have BIOS listings and service manuals for the monitor they used. Ny company happened to work with RX here in Finland and I wrote routines to convert from X860 to WordPerfect. Also from the typewriters. -- Med v?nlig h?lsning Anders Gustafsson, ingenj?r anders.gustafsson at pedago.fi | Support +358 18 12060 | Direkt +358 9 315 45 121 | Mobil +358 40506 7099 Pedago interaktiv ab, Nygatan 7 B , AX-22100 MARIEHAMN, ?LAND, FINLAND
