I found a XEROX 820 in a trift store today. Can anyone tell me what it is? It has a base unit with a built in monitor. It has four ports on it. One connects to a daul 5 1/4" disks drives in an external box. Another connects to a separate keyboard. The other two are for a serial port and printer port. Joe

Pretty good week

:Re: where to find them. You guys should be down here in Florida. :I find so many that I have to pick and choose. I left behind 4 :AT&T 3B2s, a NeXt, an AT&T 6300, 2 HP Appollos and 2 HP 9000/300s :yesterday. All of that was at a GSA auction at KSC. I did get a :COMPLETE Commodeore Pet set and a Vax Station 3100 for Zane. ok, so are there any jobs going in florida for cocky ex-pat limeys with a neat line in web development and a passion for tiny programs...? :> we'll have to start digging around at the computer auctions in this country - anyone recommend any firms worth talking to? -- Communa (together) we remember... we'll see you falling you know soft spoken changes nothing to sing within her...

Walnut Creek CP/M CDROM Discontinued

by bwit＠pobox.com

My copy does not list any credits except for Walnut Creek. Walnut Creek CDROM Suite 260 1547 Palos Verdes Mall Walnut Creek, CA. 94596 (510) 674-0783 info(a)cdrom.com Bob ---------- From: John Foust[SMTP:jfoust@threedee.com] Sent: Friday, February 27, 1998 9:40 AM To: Discussion re-collecting of classic computers Subject: Re: Walnut Creek CP/M CDROM Discontinued Walnut is a CD publisher. Unless they assembled the disc themselves, then someone else assembled the data and may own the (collection copyright) rights to reproduction of new CDs. Of course, they may be looking for a new publisher, or may try to publish it themselves. Walnut probably dropped it for lack of sales. They like to see at least 1,000 copies sold a month. If you own a copy of the old CD, check the credits and I'm sure you can track down the creator. Or ask Walnut Creek. They might tell you. It's more cost-effective and less risky these days to do short-run CDs on CD-R. Still, all-told you can get 1,000 "real" CDs for $800-$1,500, depending on which options you want. - John Jefferson Computer Museum <http://www.threedee.com/jcm>

Wanted stuff (Was: Pretty good week)

The first machine I owned was a Sorcerer; I still have one (not the same one, sadly) and I'd love to get the WP Pac and the DevPac (or copy of the code) to replace those I sold nearly two decades ago. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Dept. of Computer Science University of York

Well, I'm pretty sure I have a spare set of Arthur ROMs; I *should* have two sets of Arthur ROMs plus one set of Arthur EPROMs, from Archimedes A310 Serial No. 27-AKB10-1000002. Which is still running, but now with RISC OS 2.00, and a few extras like a hard disk, extra RAM, and a network connection... If I do have spares, I might be persuaded to exchange them for some 6809 firmware for an Acorn System board. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Dept. of Computer Science University of York

Pascal System

by allisonp＠world.std.com

<The UCSD p system used a nonstandard disk format technique, the floppy <was formatted in "blocks" and you booted the systeem off the a drive. <It wasn't just a language, but an entire operating system/environment. <I still have a copy of it around here somewhere from a class I took in <the early 80's. This was largely true for the z80based and PDP-11 based versions as well. I still have the P-system for horizon single density. The language addressed "units" as devices. The standard ones: unit volume -------------- 1 console: 2 systerm: 3 graphic: 4 <volume name> system disk 5 <volume name> alternate disk 6 printer 8 REMOTE: system peripherals 9-12 <VOLUME NAME> ADDITIONAL DRIVES Now if the code for the system interface didn't go beyond 2 floppy devices your cooked as that was a p-system hard coded thing.

Wanted stuff (and a donation for schools) (Was: Pretty good week)

by photze＠batelco.com.bh

I won't be left out either. I don't really want anything uncommon, and, even though I would like to be able to get minis, I move frequently and don't know about space, etc. until I get there. Anyay, here's my wish list: Apple ][ Stuff Cards, systems, I'll take it. Comodore stuff Don't have any, but have heard only good stuff. What most would call "worthless PC junk" OK, I'm a PC user. They're pretty nice, if you get down to it. I'll take it. Classic (non classic) Mac stuff I'm a PC user, but one that can change. ;-) Anyway, start at (near) the bottom, work you way to the top. And: A SMALL (less than 100MB would be fine!) IDE HDD, as I really need to get that computer back!!! (From my school, pretty nice AMD DX 40, 16MB RAM, and no HDD.) Ciao, Tim D. Hotze

HP-48SX memory card for sale.

by KFergason＠aol.com

Is the HP48 10 years old yet? A guy at work has a HP-48SX 128K memory card he would like to get rid of. Is this worth anything? The maker seems to be Corvallis. And, in the serendipity department, I lucked in to a TI59 with the PC100C printer at work. Nobody knew what to do with it, and they couldn't get it to work. "Well, since you are gonna throw it away, let me just take it off your hands...". Which brings up the question, are the old TI's hard to find? Anyone collect them? I have my old 55, 55II, both of which died after a few years. This 59 still works, which makes me think it wasn't used much. I don't know, just rambling. Kelly KFergason(a)aol.com
