Re: DLC Company "Cowculator"

Searching quickly on google I see a reference to the one at the CHM in mountain view. Also found this https://trademark.trademarkia.com/cowculator-72119112.html which acknowledges the company. Not sure if it would link to additional info. Interestingly there are newer ones also seem to be

Re: RT-11 doesn't recognize my 3.5" floppy

Thanks... I have an RT-11XM pack with version 5.04, booted the system from that - and it does recognize the floppy! Except that whoever built it didn't bother to include DU.SYS, just DUX.SYS. Grrr. Now I just have to figure out how to update the old RT11SJ 5.01 that my TSX+ runs on top of, to

I took a better picture of the panel for this yesterday http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dlcCompany/cowculator Other than a couple of want-ads from the early 60's I've not been able to turn up any more information on this. I'm assuming you optimize by adjusting the parameters to zero on the meter.

Revision notes were important to read as i learned when i upgraded our 780 from VMS 3.0 to 3.1. All our DIBOL programs stopped working and had to be relinked. Not a fun thing to do on a Monday night before customers started using the system. Sent from my iPhone >> On May 6, 2019, at 10:47,
