Re: [U2] [OT] Primos emulator
A cherished possession of mine is a 9-track tape of Oracle for Primos. I also have a controller board and a, yes, I have a Pr1me disk pack too. Maybe there's a support group for people who have have kept Pr1me disk packs? --dawn On 9/13/07, Drew Henderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've still got a 300MB disk pack I use for tours (here is where we were in 1981) that came from a 750.

Re: [U2] [OT] Primos emulator
I threw out most of my Prime manuals a few years back and, just as one might expect, almost immediately wanted one of them. I still have a few, including the Hacker's Guide to the Prime, an internal engineering manual that I probably only keep because it has my name in the Acknowledgements (though I never did work out quite what I contributed). So, a question for the die hard Primos fans Just who was Lyne Smith who manages to have a whole memory segment (2036) reserved in her name as the Lyne Smith memorial segment? Of course, those who didn't come from Prime won't have a clue what any of this is about.

RE: [U2] [OT] Primos emulator
I work for what used to be Wang, but is now a part of Getronics, which is the Dutch parent company that is currently being bought by another Dutch company. (For you younguns still reading this thread, Wang was another of the players at the same time PR1ME was in it's prime.) Anyway, there's a group that has written some kind of Wang emulator on a PC to run old Wang software that still has a customer base but a diminishing supply of experienced Wang hardware since we no longer build the stuff. I'm told the emulator is a money maker. Chuck Stevenson --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Does that load on the 10 inch floppy disk? What was the size of that large disk for the Wang Word Processing Station? Garry L.

RE: [U2] [OT] Primos emulator
Ha. I'm guessing the disk is emululated, too. Actually I don't think it's the Wang Word Processing Station, but something else. I don't remember what. Now you know as much, probably more than I do. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Garry Smith Sent: Friday, September 14, 2007 4:42 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] [OT] Primos emulator Does that load on the 10 inch floppy disk?

Well nice to see some old (well not that old!) terms from the days of learning!! The great 300MB beast and what a sound it made during a head crash!!! Had some platters on the wall as clocks!
