I broke down earlier this year and sold my loaded Altair 8800 on eBay.
64k static RAM, tape interface (had a Tarbell disk interface but sold it
years ago), PROM burner, parallel interface card. Used it to develop a ham
radio repeater controller in 1980, 32 parallel line signals drove op amps,

Neither Gates or Allen had bupkus to do with producing PC-DOS.
They bought it from Seattle Computer Products in 1981 and modified it to

They were forced to purchase something off the shelf because they were

The name PC-DOS came from IBM who licensed

This independent and simultaneous CW keying of the KX3 is very interesting.
Using the paddle option on the KX3 simultaneously with the Keyer 3.5 mm port
for CW contest logging is a great and simple set up for logging program keying

I think connecting both your paddle and PC to a K1EL or equivalent winkeyer is
a better option. This way, when you switch between PC and paddle sending, the
speed will be the same. Also, I found keying the KX3 directly from the PC
sounded a bit choppy, as the timing of the dits was too short.

Your Winkeyer with it's flow control features is something to consider if your
relying on the internal KX3 keyer. That may be simpler for those who already
have the Winkeyer. I'm happy with my MK-1 alternative.

Folks - lets end this OT thread at this time. Its a little too far afield from
our regular list content and is overloading the in-boxes of a large number of
Elecraft readers.
36 posts in a 24 hour period on a Non-Elecraft topic is -way- over the limit.

Kind of surprised in the longevity of this topic. But then I guess a

I never saw anything come back to me, or go to the Elecraft reflector on

Bill, I don't know of any such utility on the reflector. You need to use an
email program that furnishes that utility if you want it. I would not
recommend it because threads seem to morph into all sorts of topics and you
will miss a lot of content if you pre-sort.
