TSC Assembler?

Hi, all. Would anyone here happen to have access to the original early 80s binary files to to run TSC Assembler? http://bit.ly/2rLsORe I'm looking for the vintage software that this document refers to: TSC Floating Point Package by Technical Systems Consultants. I know there's a fair number

Re: Which Operating System for my DCC-116 E / Entrex 480 / Nixdorf 620 / Data General Nova 1200 clone ?

Dominique, I just had an idea. May I ask what type/style/pin-configuration of plug is on the back connector of your 1 working terminal? Not that the plug matters as much, but I'm thinking about an easy way to build a quick interface to reverse engineer the protocol (and pinouts/cabling) that

Re: Which Operating System for my DCC-116 E / Entrex 480 / Nixdorf 620 / Data General Nova 1200 clone ?

Well, Dominique, I would encourage you to not give up. You have the only functional version of this system that anyone has ever reported over the Internet in recent times (as far as I've found), and I would love to help in any way that I can. I also am quite busy, as are you, but this system has

Re: Which Operating System for my DCC-116 E / Entrex 480 / Nixdorf 620 / Data General Nova 1200 clone ?

Dominique, Might you have any updates on your Nixdorf 620 / Entrex 480 system? I am quite interested, and it's been a while since I've seen any email with these keywords here, from you or anyone. Someday, it is my hope that I might take a tour of your system in Belgium, on my next trip to the

AT UNIX PC 7300 (3b1) disassembly video

While I'm thinking about it, for any/all who might be interested, just last week, I created a step-by-step video for disassembling a UNIX PC 7300 (with a few comments/comparisons for the 3b1) https://youtu.be/vYKS-jOdcsQ I've always found them tricky to work on with the way they are packed

Bill, you're talking about the seller, yes? That's fantastic! I totally missed the MiniFrame auction altogether. A completed listings lookup found it: http://ebay.to/2DwNamo I'm VERY glad that you have that! Previous to you mentioning this, I've only been aware of one MiniFrame (I've

I'm just wondering if anybody here did (or knows who) bought this one. http://ebay.to/2DaRr13 Even though these were all manufactured by Convergent Technologies, this one is actually BRANDED by Convergent, as their model S/50. And there's software included here. I tried to buy myself, but just

For reference, here is a picture of the disk pack that I am wanting to read. http://bit.ly/2etUg30 I know, I got a bit nervous too when I saw the guy just holding it out exposed like that. Let's hope he put it back in the canister very carefully and quickly. Can anybody guess the correct model

Thanks, Tom, this was quite helpful, and much appreciated! I wasn't able to access your URL at http://opac.libraryworld.com/opac/catalog_edit.php?catalog_ id=230824_doc=standard.php=43 however. I get a Could not connect to mysql error. Anyway, I really appreciate you pointing me in these

I do as well. I both use them AND collect them. I have about 6, and regularly take them to vintage computing expos. I'd be glad to take some parts off your hands at my own expense. There's someone over at comp.sys.3b1 asking for some as well:

Does anyone here have good technical experience with, or even better ACCESS to, an IBM 3330 compatible hard drive unit? (working or not). I'm getting more daring with my projects to attempt to read ancient magnetic flux transitions off of things, and I might have an opportunity to read a disk

Re: More tapes - This time all Tektronix 405x series

Fascinating...thanks for sharing this! So the tape drive was integrated into the chassis hardware. Now that's proprietary. I don't even see evidence of a CRC or checksum in the documentation. Do you think that each record has one, and they just didn't document it? Anyway, very interesting,

Hi, Plamen & Al, I'm just catching up on some of these past threads involving QIC cartridges. What ever became of these Paragon tapes? Were you able to read them and archive the contents? Thanks all, -AJ http://QICreader.com On Sat, Nov 5, 2016 at 8:46 AM, Plamen Mihaylov
