Since I either owned or created all the Bancomm/Datum ntp designs after I joined bancomm in 1992, I can promise you that I still have at least one version of the source code :-) Actually I think I even have the source for the bc635/700LAN product, created by Joe Fontes. The problem is generally that you can't recreate the build environments to go with it and they were custom systems with custom bsps. Remember os/9 and/or MQX? Our DR-DOS based TS2000 built with ampro modules MIGHT be easier to get into. It was a DoC emulation. Since we don't sell, and probably don't even support, those products anymore, I am happy to help as I can but I don't know if there is enough interest for me to grind my way past legal to release code which you could read but not use to reprogram anything.

But I'm sure most of that source code has been lost / thrown away. For instance, the older network time servers are much cooler to me than the new models. The old stuff was custom designed and specifically written / tweaked by hand. The newer time servers are just off-the-shelf single board computers, a GPS module, and then *maybe* a custom oscillator module.... Then they just run on a *nix OS with some small custom scripts to do the timing and automate setup... Just not the same... > HP had a program called NOMAS (Not Manufacturer Supported) where > they did release the source code to some of their calculator products _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
