Had to fire up BasiliskII to find out what kind of Fortran I used on Mac in 1988. Turned out it was Absoft Fortran 2.4 and seemed a bit strange as I recall M$ was written on floppies that I got for it. Did a bit of digging on internet today and, surprisingly, Absoft still exists and

Re: ESDI terminator values

ESDI used by CDC uses 150 ohms to +Vcc as termination on the control cable. Signal cables are radial, so they always have termination. See: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/cdc/discs/wren/77738212D_94166_Wren_III_ESDI_Product_Specification_Aug87.pdf PDF Page 37 Also, generally, the CDC ESDI spec is

Working on restoring this 11/83, I would like to replace the Fujitsu 2284E drive with a slightly larger capacity CDC/Imprimis WREN VI 94246-383 ESDI. I think I have the jumper configurations, however the problem is the disk does not have a terminator pack. Does anyone know what kind of

Classic Computer Fans, I tried out the CYBIS release: http://www.Control-Data.info/CybisRelease.html on the DtCYBER emulator when it first came out. I've since forgotten most of what I'd learned. Recently I fired CYBIS back up and started relearning. Does anyone know if any user mailing

Thanks Bob- this is alongside the 27S29 parts- which are labeled as such, but this question is about a part labeled AM76 (different than the 27S29 which are clearly labeled). Are you saying they're identical? On Mon, Jun 1, 2020 at 11:34 AM Bob Smith wrote: > 27S29 > > Abstract: AM27S28

If it's only got 18 pins (per the subject line) then I don't think it can be a 27S29. Based on the label my guess would have been a PAL/GAL of some kind, but I can't immediately think of any standard parts that would have had less than 20 pins there either... p. On Mon, Jun 01, 2020 at
