Can any offer some fast-track instructions to set up a LO-TECH IDE board on a Model III. I have an LDOS boot disk and the IDE tools RSFORM5 and HDDVR5 available on :0 and :1 floppy drives and the IDE board cabled in to the 50 pin connector and an idustrial IDE flash with its own power supplied...

Got three model IIIs with the same symptom on the test bench: they fail to give a "Diskette?" prompt. I don't have a boot floppy here, but I assume it would not work... First things first... that missing prompt. Each can power up to Cass? no problem with the BREAK key. I can write and run BASIC...

I'm wondering how comprehensive a solution it has become and how well it works on all supported formats. If anyone recommends it from first hand experience for doing all the disk formats that it is supposed do, please chime in. (I have done disk image management with all the varied tools but...

This component, said to be a rack mount flip flop of the UNIVAC I, has both Remington Rand and Burroughs badges. Can anyone explain what is going on here?

Any Wang Calculator & Computer aficionados still here? We are in the beginning phase of our Wang 4000 restoration at VCF Mid-Atlantic InfoAge. On August 29th, The original Wang Programmer from Atlas Industries, the company that donated the machine will be visiting to tell us what he knows...

I just started trying to format double sided diskettes on the 4D... I haven't used this machine much since I got it, and have been lazy using singled sided diskettes for a regular 4 since I did, which were generally made on PC from single sided images. So I thought I'd try formatting some...

There doesn't seem to be any online. Lots of User Manual copies, no service/maintenance info. Anyone have one?!

I'm looking for recommendations on what might be a good demonstration of the 6809 mode of the SuperPET. I have all of the easily web searchable stuff, which amounts to the Waterloo tools and some of the improved versions of the utilities. These materials are great and I'm very glad they are...

I pulled my LCII with a IIe card of the shelf and powered it up. It acted erratically and I knew what that meant, recap time. Actually long overdue, I should not have let it get to this point. It used to work great. Now after the recap, and the LCII working good again, I'm finding that the IIe...

Hi- Mine seems to have failed, I just need a new card if you have one without a cable you probably can spare it... thanks!

I see most everything one would want for a Lisa at http://www.macmothership.com/lisacontent/ I thought that the Lisa software got keyed to the machine it was installed on. Which made acquiring a set of install disks a problem since they would likely be keyed to the old owners Lisa. Is the Lisa...

There is very inconsistent "silvery" coverage on the mylar. From almost clear to fairly spotty. It like the foam ate the aluminum. I don't think I should bother reusing the disks. Options?

I started this one last year but can't find the thread. I'm back on it now tired of having this nice machine sitting here in two pieces in a bad way. This is the symptom - the first pixel of every character clocked out to video is dark. http://imgur.com/PIhmEPy Its dead consistent from power...

SO on the Visi On wiki, there is this gem: "In July 1981 Xerox announced the Xerox Star, an advanced workstation computer featuring a graphical user interface, and by that point it was a well known "secret" that Apple Computer was working on a low-cost computer with a GUI that would later be...

Been going at this for a lot of hours... trying to find a make utility for CP/M. Help!

I was unsure that this might belong in the history forum, but since it is machine specific, I chose here, plus I really want an audience with 5150 enthusiasts. Pardon the faux pas if this isn't quite right etiquette. Thanks in advance! Wild stuff will have to be vetted or reference provided! :)

I'm tired of googling and sifting- Time to ask the experts! What were your favorites? Seeking applications, tools, utilities, demo programs, source code. Must run on a stock 8088 with no better than Monochrome with Hercules and CGA emulation. (Though for a later effort, I will go to color based...

I have the Model II, its a pretty OK unit. It boots, but the kbd is not responding so I have to look into that. Here it is: http://imgur.com/a/wVMnW From the diskettes included, the machine was used to manage a band among other things. Its time now to move in the direction of fleshing out a...
