Re: Identifying a Mystery ISA Card

Good point, Fred. My frame of reference was the AT, which is the machine for which I had to hunt down the software. On 10/15/20, 8:28 PM, "cctalk on behalf of Fred Cisin via cctalk" wrote: On Thu, 15 Oct 2020, Richard Cini via cctalk wrote: > Well, it looks like one of

Re: Identifying a Mystery ISA Card

Well, it looks like one of those memory/multi-IO/clock boards like the AST RAMPACK+. I would take a look at this site (which you might already know): https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/memory-cards/index.html When I was looking for jumpers, etc., for both the AboveBoard AT and BOCARAM I have, I

Re: Firing up the pdt11

Chris, I would like to get a clarification on this. Does either drive work fine in the PD0 position or does the drive that was not working in the PD1 position not work in the PD0 position? You said that the spare drive that you put in the PD1 position also does not work. I would try it in

Re: Microsoft C 6.0 manuals

Yes, for VS6, all of the docs were on two or three CDs that were installed separately. I think it was called the "MSDN Library". On 10/7/20, 11:43 AM, "cctalk on behalf of Bjoren Davis via cctalk" wrote: I have a retail boxed set "Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Professional Edition

Re: Microsoft C 6.0 manuals

I have PDFs of C 4.0 and C 5.0, both of which were included in a load of "Windows 1" stuff I had which included the Platform SDK manuals. If you want them, contact me off-list. Rich On 10/7/20, 11:29 AM, "cctalk on behalf of Chuck Guzis via cctalk" wrote: On 10/7/20 7:23 AM, Tomas By

Re: IBM PC-DOS 2.10 explorations

You can find bootable disk images on-line that self extract to a floppy. For DOS 3.31 I use a Compaq version that went with my DeskPro/386. I would only emphasize that 3.5” support didn’t exist before DOS 3 (I forget if it was 3 or 3.1; it was when the PS/2 came out). So you have to watch the

Re: IBM PC-DOS 2.10 explorations

Regarding #4, if you look at the releases source code for DOS 2.0 you will see compilation switches for PCD and MSD. I would need to look again but some were control code things, plus sign-on messages. I know IBM shipped different tools than MS too. http://www.classiccmp.org/cini Long Island

Re: SCP/Microsoft 20HAL uploader

Great point. Does a VT100 have a pass-through serial port? Maybe the development machine was connected to a pass through serial port on a terminal and then sent command to the DEC-20 to send the files. So there would have been some sort of connection from the DEC-20 to IBM. Leased line? Packet

Excellent! That’s a great piece of info. Not sure why a TOPS-10 command would be embedded in a program like this. The notion of filtering/delay itself makes sense but that command would make sense only if IBM had a DECSYSYEM too, no? http://www.classiccmp.org/cini Long Island S100 User’s Group
