Scanned paperback book "RSX A User's Guide"

I recently decided to make scan a paperback book that I happen to have two copies of. It is "RSX A Guide for Users by John Pieper” published in 1987 by DEC. I have not seen a copy of it in any of the online sources like bit savers. For anyone just starting out with RSX it is a nice general

Hi Glen, Allison, Jonathan, Chuck, et. al. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I investigated the IDA Pro and unfortunately, the freeware version does not support 8085 and their lowest tier version costs $700 (ouch), but I will look into others like DASMx. In case anyone is interested in the

You could post the EPROM files you have online somewhere for other people to take a quick look. Maybe create a thread on the vcfed forum and add them as an attachment to a message there. If you zip them up they should be small enough for an attachment. I have only tried using IDA Pro a couple of

Re: 8085 Dissasembly?

IDA Pro will do 8080/8085 and is very nice -- especially if you have no source and are having to reverse-engineer the whole thing yourself. The commercial version is expensive, but there's a free version. I don't remember if the free version includes 8080/8085 mode. The strings may be packed

Glen, I think I wasn't thinking straight late last night when I finally found the chip was bad... I usually don't work on stuff that "new", so I was unfamiliar with the PLCC 32 format and have nothing to program it. I bet the reference of what chip it is hides just under the label! Assuming

I'm reminded of how fast things have gotten when I use some of my old media conversion code developed on an 8088 PC, that's been recompiled to run under 64-bit Linux on a reasonably fast CPU (3GHz quad-core AMD). I'd sit back for a couple of minutes waiting for the code to churn through the data

Help on a 1998 Award BIOS chip

After battling for days with a Dolch 65 that developed the two-tone beep-of-death on boot, I finally found that it's just my BIOS ROM that has gone bad. The BIOS happens to be an Award BIOS, says "Award 1998 PCI/PNP 686" on the chip. It's a square chip with pins on the side. Photo here:
